I think that this looks really great. you seem to have a good grasp on 3d realism. was this all thought out before hand, or did you start, and then work around the obstacles as they came? I think that this is a tremendous piece of work, how many (...) (22 years ago, 2-Jan-02, to lugnet.castle)

Very nice! You've made good use of red, I'd never have thought it would look so good on a castle. I like how you made the flanking towers roundish with the white bricks. Is this supposed to be as exact a replica as possible of Neuschwanstein, or (...) (22 years ago, 3-Jan-02, to lugnet.castle)

Hehehe... Thanks Kev. Seeing your miniature version was one of the things that made me try to do this. :-) As much as I would love to build a complete Neuschwanstein in this scale, my budget and my house won't have it. (I won't even mention my wife) (...) (22 years ago, 4-Jan-02, to lugnet.castle)

Thanks Magnus, I've always loved Neuschwanstein, and the red gatehouse just seems to be a trademark of it. In my mind while I was building it, it was meant to be as close a representation that I could have, so yes, it is meant to be an exact (...) (22 years ago, 4-Jan-02, to lugnet.castle)
