Jon, I love your sets. The small details are great and you have captured this time period well. It would be really cool to see a street full of musketeers dueling with the cardinals men. On the opening roof of the butcher's shop you could use two (...) (22 years ago, 5-Feb-03, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.pirates)

John, First, lemme just say that these are some of the finest structured MOCs I've seen in a long time. The architecture and overall "feel" of each piece is just splendid. Second, if Lego ever produced such models I'd probably devote my life savings (...) (22 years ago, 5-Feb-03, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.pirates)

Outstanding design all around. If this was a theme from TLC I would buy (...) (22 years ago, 5-Feb-03, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.pirates)

There could be three sets or so, and each terrain piece could be modular. Has this been done? I know (...) (22 years ago, 5-Feb-03, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.pirates)

Hi jon! (...) Now, THAT's what a late medieval town should look like! I think you met the style of this time periode very well with those small and narrow houses.

I don't think it's too black and white like that. I think Crusaders were the biggest and wealthiest force in the land. Black Falcons I view as being a noble house that had their own goals and plans which sometimes clashed with the plans of the (...) (22 years ago, 5-Feb-03, to lugnet.castle)
