As for building- the usual.  You know, castles, villages, carrages,hideouts,
river crossings, fortified ledges, insane barons.  :-)

I like the latter! :-P
Do you have any idea so far if you will be focusing more on the "civilian"
or "military" aspects of medieval life? It would be really cool to see a
common peasants' hamlet, for a change - all those knights really need
someone to feed them, right?

Well... again, my lack of castle stuff will probablly force me the peasent
way, right now I'm making a semi-robin hood idea exept using less violence
and a bit more politiking and hiding out.  I'm building a rather small
hideout-in a cave right now.

It sounds like a good idea to start. Go for it!
Tips: use a lot of arches, to give ceilings the "hole" look. And maybe an
innocent construction above to divert attentions, who knows?...

My main problem is that I'm twelve,

(If you think *that* is a problem, wait til you're older... ;-)

How so?  Well, I suppose it depends on your age- younger older, older younger!

I'm not *that* older... but I remember the time I was twelve as a lot less
stressful (for instance, I managed to *sleep* a lot more AND still find the
time to play with my LEGO). It had its limitations, though... so I sort of
also see your point.

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.

Actually, I never tried rendering castle stuff (I'm more a town/train fan
myself). But I think I understand what you mean... when you have a camera,
it is a lot easier to take snapshots and use them in a tale, for instance.
Renderings would look too "clean" to be true...

I'm looking forward to see what you come up with - send me an e-mail when
you finish the construction!

With what? Its not probable I'll have any pictures. (but maybe a render?  :-) )

I meant *after* you get the camera. BTW, happy birthday! (in advance for
August :-)
Of course, you can always use a conventional camera and later scan the
photos. But it is usually not as effective as a DC.

John Kruer (who has no castles)


Pedro (who hadn't though of making a hideout instead, unlike John :-)
