Hello! This is my entry for the 1st International System Creativity Contest on www.1000steine.de: www.1000steine.de/th...57/057.htm Sorry, the story is in German only, but you can translate it using babelfish (link is given there). Of course I could (...) (23 years ago, 3-Jan-02, to lugnet.castle) !!

The time has come for Castle fans to unite! The SPCC, or Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Castle, is now recruiting members to collaborate with myself and others, in an effort to create a new hub for the fans of LEGO Castle. The home site (...) (23 years ago, 3-Jan-02, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Though I like the idea, and I think this could be a great site, I question the use of the actual Lego logo. If you hope to get TLG (I can't remember, is it TLC or TLG these days?) to recognize your efforts, and other fellow castle heads, I (...) (23 years ago, 3-Jan-02, to lugnet.castle)

Hi Jojo, I just wanna say I loved your castle. My favourite part is the "trophies' wall", pic #10. No castle is realistic enough without one! Pedro (23 years ago, 3-Jan-02, to 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)

(...) 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)

(...) Normally I would never touch anything to my Legos, but I have a large surplus of torsos that have sat there for almost five years now. Better to do something with them than nothing at all. I put this up the minute I finished the Girl in red so (...) (23 years ago, 4-Jan-02, to lugnet.castle)

Thanks Jon. :-) Actually, the whole model went together very quickly, the center portion of the gatehouse taking the most time. I was working in MLCad and with real bricks simultaneously, so the center gatehouse is also modeled in virtual bricks as (...) (23 years ago, 4-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) (...) (23 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 (...) (23 years ago, 4-Jan-02, to lugnet.castle)

Thanks James, I had several Castle calendars with pictures of Neuschwanstein, but I also did a search on Google Images to find more pictures: Here is the search: (URL) here is a page with a link to a good picture of the gatehouse: (URL) Lynch ----- (...) (23 years ago, 4-Jan-02, to lugnet.castle)

Beautiful work, Jon. Love the crowded feeling that you have given the town. The outer walls having the "nicked and pocked" as you call it is also great. I have a hard time building that type of randomness with good results. Too many details to (...) (23 years ago, 4-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)

Hi Johannes! I really liked the structure. You've got some great ideas in there, and you pay a lot of attention to details. Sauerkraut and green beans could get on your nerves after awhile, I bet. ;-) I must say, though, that the babelfish (...) (23 years ago, 4-Jan-02, to lugnet.castle)
