(...) 5 (...) Kev, what can anyone say but "Wow"! The problem with this .castle group is that there are too many fantastic people doing fantastic things. I think we need a .castle.mere-mortals group for the rest of us! Kerry (23 years ago, 3-Jan-02, to lugnet.castle)

Beautiful. Just some of my first impressions/comments questions: You seem to have been able to make the white, greay and black look nice together in the castle walls, by doing each wall or tower in a single colour. I'll have to remember this for (...) (23 years ago, 3-Jan-02, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Hear Hear! I second that :) Then I could have a place to show off my grand creation! A general store! No, it's not that big (2 stories and about 12 x 16 studs or so?), and no, there's no city surrounding it... and there isn't much scenery (...) (23 years ago, 3-Jan-02, to lugnet.castle)

Wow. is there something in the water. Thats amazing. The Citadel looks really imposing casting its shadow on the town beneath, and the town has so much character and detail, and as always beutifully presented and manipulated shots. Did you have to (...) (23 years ago, 3-Jan-02, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Really detailed pictures of the stairs would be great. I think stairs are the hardest thing to do well in Lego, and I don't recall many (any?) good pictures of castle stairs in the usual places (e.g., Frank Filz's lists of Castle links). The (...) (23 years ago, 3-Jan-02, to lugnet.castle)

Wow. Huge. Pleasantly chaotic. How the heck do you reach the middle of so large a layout? I imagine the whole thing moves in sections... Love the details on the castle. The windows, the asymmetrical turrets, the little Tudor style outcropping with (...) (23 years ago, 4-Jan-02, to lugnet.castle)
