Hi everyone, Well for Brickfest this year I brought along a project that I have been working on since the Memorial Day weekend of this year. I am very pleased with the way it turned out. As I told everyone that asked, my inspiration came from (...) (22 years ago, 22-Jul-02, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.build) !!

Wow! I saw pictures of that in someone's gallery of Brickfest snapshots. That's really cool. It seems kind of Ankor Wat -y to me. Was that the ancient structure you were drawing on? Oh, one piece question. What is the clear colorless piece that is (...) (22 years ago, 23-Jul-02, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.build)

(...) That's easily the best alternate use of an element I saw in any MOC this year (and I was rolling over the fact that Stephen Roberts said the same thing in his message over at .events.brickfest). It was a truly stunning creation, and well (...) (22 years ago, 23-Jul-02, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.build)

(...) What Jim neglects to mention is that this won a trophy for best non castle structure at BF... There are a LOT of neat features in this model. My fave has got to be the fountains though. (22 years ago, 23-Jul-02, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.build)

(...) Wow...looks so good it could be mistaken for a spoiler pic for the new Indiana Jones 4 movie. Great techniques in all parts of the model. Love the authentic "ancient" look. I can hear the "hummmmmmmm" mantras now... Jeff (22 years ago, 23-Jul-02, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.build)

I too enjoyed Stephen's message, especially the very last award :) I must admit that I am surprised at the number of people who have commented on the fiber optics usage as streams of (...)

The Temple of Shan-Ta-Ree won first place for the category of Non-Castle Moc in the castle room. Thanks (...) (22 years ago, 23-Jul-02, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.build)

(...) Ankor was just one of the structures that inspired me. I had originally intended to focus on one type of architecture because I was afraid that by trying to blend different types together, the project wouldn't look as good. But I found that as (...)

I had thought about lighting mine, but since I didn't want to have it on a raised paltform, that idea got canned. Maybe next time... (...) It wasn't too much of a (...)
