Hello, castle fans! After some discretion and countless work, I have finally came up with my Lego storyline, which will be castle themed.

(...) I'd like to echo Pawel's reply, this is definately some of your best work to date. The pictures are very impressive, and the story is well written. I look forward to seeing the site expand. --Anthony (23 years ago, 17-Feb-02, to lugnet.castle)

Very nice work. One question, if you don't mind...How did you do the mullion detail in your Hidden Fortress? I don't recognize these as any Lego parts I've ever seen, but they look extremely professional. (23 years ago, 17-Feb-02, to lugnet.castle)

I've spent the better part of my evening trying to find a book with good pictures of houses from the medieval period. I'd like primarily pre-Tudor style (cerca 1000, rather than cerca 1500), and also an emphasis on peasant and burgher houses rather (...) (23 years ago, 19-Feb-02, to lugnet.castle)

Hi Lenny, Just the other day I was noticing the same thing: That most Lego MOC Castle Villages focus on the Tudor style, as does the Guarden Inn. If I recall correctly, such a style was not popular until late in the middle ages, and even then not (...) (23 years ago, 19-Feb-02, to lugnet.castle)

Wattle & Daub architechure is older than one might think, some believe back as far as the 1100s. The process merely consists of mud being placed around a wooden skeleton/frame. The roof was made of thatch/grass/twigs. Not really that advanced. (...) (23 years ago, 19-Feb-02, to lugnet.castle)

Hi there! The subject line pretty much says it all: we, the portuguese luggies, will have our first gathering in mid-March; there will be some castles and "castle-heads" among us, so we thought it might be interesting to set up a small "war".
