but never owning a castle or pirate base,
I'm planning on buying some castle walls off bricklink.  What I want to know
is how much one generic castle wall piece (such as the grey ones on the side
of the gaurded inn)weighs, in grams and/or pounds, so I can figure
approximently my shipping cost.  Thanks.

I just tried in my kitchen scale. 8 pieces weighted close to 40g, so the
generic part should weight around 5g. The margin is rather high, I'd say
around one gram.

I'm sorry I cannot provide you with the weight in Imperial measurements, but
I never used weight conversions before and have no chart at hand... :-(

few months)

Have fun! (What will you be building, if I am allowed to ask? ;-)

Thanks.
Hmmmmmm...  Thats alot of castle walls I could get for resonable oversea
shipping.

As for building- the usual.  You know, castles, villages, carrages,hideouts,
river crossings, fortified ledges, insane barons.  :-)
My main problem is that I'm twelve, and don't have a digital camera I could
use.  So, I'm waiting for my birthday (early August) and crossing my fingers
for a digital camera.  The problem is, in town and space, you can get by
rendering, but in castle it dosn't have the same effect as taking a picture.

(...) Quite so. In fact, it is one of the few pre-assembled parts from LEGO that I see as "advantage only". Even when shipping! (...) I like the latter! :-P Do you have any idea so far if you will be focusing more on the "civilian" or "military" (...) (22 years ago, 21-Apr-02, to lugnet.castle)
