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)

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)
