Some awesome stuff, Andy!

Castle Corner Tower:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=10316
Another experiment, this time in setting a building at an angle, using 3 x 4
x 5 right triangles.  Has a removable back, and two floors, with a stairway
leading to the second, and a ladder with a trapdoor leading up to the rooftop.

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 something similar
putting Pythagoras to lego use and using multiples of 10 and 7 on a castle
tower he built a while ago.

Small Wizard Tower:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=10320
Small two level tower on a hill, with a well nearby.  The roof was holding
me back on this one.  Just finished the roof yesterday, and I'm pleased with
how it came out.  Tried to smooth out the hill a bit, and included some
vegetation.

I like this one a lot, nice use of colour. Is there actually a cellar or
cave below the tower, or are the yellow bricks just to hold it up? If you
are going to the bother of building a hill for a building to stand on, I
think it woudl be a great idea to take advantage of the oppurtunity to build
something inside teh at hill.

Knife Sharpener Tradesman:

Peddler with a cart with sharpening stone, selling knives, and offering to
sharpen what you already own. :-)

Man, I love this one too! The detail on this kind of leval is awesome. THis
is teh kind of thing atht brings a medeival scene to life.

WaterWheel:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=10324
A water wheel made out of Technic parts that is about twice the hieght of a
minifig.  Nice and rigid.  Built this nearly a year ago, but put off taking
pictures of it because it is all black.  I'll most likely be posting a DAT
file of this within the week.

Nice, any plans on building a mill?

cheers

Magnus

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 (...) (23 years ago, 14-Jan-02, to lugnet.castle)
