Chris, I like the site design, it makes it easy to find things. The rock scorpion is cool, too, just the kind of thing that would populate The Great Desert (I'll have to build a couple!). And I really like the mixture of characters that you have in (...) (23 years ago, 3-Jan-02, to lugnet.castle.org, lugnet.castle)

You had me worried when you said you used an X-acto on your minifigs. I'm too much of a purist, I would never paint or altar a minifig in anyway. However, by scraping off the paint it looks pretty good! They now have a waist and hips. But they still (...) (23 years ago, 3-Jan-02, to lugnet.castle)
