  New pictures of some Old creations :-)
 
Hello all, I put up some pictures I took yesterday of some creations I had made in the last year or so. Comments welcome. LightHouse: (URL) just a test design for round towers, but I like the vines growing up the side in the last picture. Castle (...) (22 years ago, 14-Jan-02, to lugnet.castle)
 
  Re: New pictures of some Old creations :-)
 
(...) Neat, thanks for showing how to do the 3 x 4 x 5 triangle, I was always curious about that one. (...) Hmm, yeah, the hill works pretty well. And all that yellow comes in handy. (...) I really like this guy. He would add a lot of atmosphere to (...) (22 years ago, 14-Jan-02, to lugnet.castle)
 
  Re: New pictures of some Old creations :-)
 
(...) Very very nice. My personal favorites are the corner tower and the knife sharpener. I think the angle between the tower and the walls looks great, and really gives it character. It's not just a rectangular building set square to the walls. I (...) (22 years ago, 14-Jan-02, to lugnet.castle)

(...) The knife sharpener is great too- these kinds of detail pieces are what really bring a town to life. -- Tony Hafner www.hafhead.com (22 years ago, 14-Jan-02, to lugnet.castle)

They're all great, but my favorite is the village details. The peddler with sharpening stone is briliant. I'm stealing that one. ;-) (22 years ago, 14-Jan-02, to lugnet.castle)

(...) (URL) models, Andy. I think my favorite is the Wizard's Tower, especially the scenery around it. I'm also going to have to make some town houses soon and will look to yours for some ideas. Thanks! Oh, it's not one you list so I assume it's (...) (22 years ago, 14-Jan-02, to lugnet.castle)
 
  Re: New pictures of some Old creations :-)
 
The Castle Corner Tower is pretty cool. I like the use of the Harry Potter gems on top of the windows. The Wizard Tower and Peasants cottage are the cream of the crop. I love the grassy hill leading up to the tower. Looks great. I don't think I have (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jan-02, to lugnet.castle)
 
  Re: New pictures of some Old creations :-)
 
Some awesome stuff, Andy! (...) Maybe I'm just blind or thick today, but I couldn't quite figure out how you did this. What/where is the 3x4x5 triangle you are talking about? The tower isn't at excatly 45 degrees, is it? I know Ed "Boxer" did (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jan-02, to lugnet.castle)

  Re: New pictures of some Old creations :-)
 
(...) Ah, got it! I thought the 3x4x5 was referring to some triangular brick I wasn't familiar with. I think Ed "Boxer" figured out that you could make an exact 45 degree angle using a triangle of 7 by 7 by 10 (counting studs, not spaces), or (...) (22 years ago, 16-Jan-02, to lugnet.castle)

Excellent; thank you! All my lego blades have been getting dull from years without a good knife sharpener! The idea is a great one, it will really add to the look and feel of the peasants I've been assembling from all the great Star Wars figures. (...) (22 years ago, 17-Jan-02, to lugnet.castle)
