When I first saw the teaser, I felt a mixture of awe and disappointment. The
structure looked great, but my first impression was that it didn't follow
the guidelines (and I'm one of those with a high "laissez faire" attitude to
the guidelines!!).
Then I saw all the pics. Fantastic! Not only was it within the guidelines,
but it didn't look like it was compromised in meeting them.
Without doubt, when this structure appears at a gathering it will be the
"anchor shop" around which all others will want to cluster.
Well done!

| Alan, We're also as much a stickler when it comes to guidelines and even more so that this is our first work which we'd like to be done without any fuss. Wasn't quite sure how well it was gonna come out and we've almost scratched the idea since it (...) (22 years ago, 26-Nov-02, to lugnet.castle)
