This was a good idea Lenny.
> What is your name?
Stephen Wroble
> How old are you?
50 - older even than Alan Findlay, but playing with LEGO keeps me young.
> What does real life mean for you?
I'm a college professor, I teach computer graphics and multimedia production.
That's why there's so much Flash stuff on my website, I use it for
demonstration in my classes.
I also love medieval history, I minored in it as an undergrad and even started
to learn Anglo-Saxon at one point.
> Do you have a sig Fig (post a pic, if you can)?
Nope. But my favorite minifig is the Dragon Master knight (with the dragon
crested helmet) and if I had a sig Fig it would one of them.
> Favorite Castle set?
Black Knight's Castle - 6086. In my opinion, the last "good" castle LEGO made.
> Favorite Personal MOC?
Whatever I'm working on at the moment is always my favorite, right now it's a
smith's forge. I think my Wizard's Tower is good though.

> Favorite Other MOC?
I agree with Lenny "How can I pick just one?" It seems like I see something
every day or so that makes me say "Wow. What a great idea!" There are some that
stand out, but this list is by no means complete.
Robert Carney's work inspired me a lot when I was just getting started.

Kevin Hall's Androstavia site inspired me to make my own website.

Johannes Koehler's Falckenstein inspired me to start thinking BIGGER.

James Stacy's Castle With Keep is pretty cool.

And Jeremiah VanderMark's Bowman Field's Cottage is pretty cool too.

There are a lot more, but I have to finish this post.
> What is a project you'd like to do but just don't have the bricks?
I would like to be able to build a castle AND a town at the same time.
> What would you like TLG to do with the castle line?
I think the 80's had the best castles. A lot of them were modular and you could
connect the different sets to make bigger castles. I'm glad TLC is re-releasing
some of them as LEGO Legends, it would be great if they continued that and
re-released them all.
AND go back to making castles with a little more historical accuracy. For
instance, they could make castles that actually HAVE WALLS IN THEM! (Sorry, I
had to get that off my chest.)
AND TLC should stop the whole "good guy, bad guy" thing and let us decide who
is who.

| (...) Yup. (...) What? Castles had walls in real life? Where did you get this crazy idea? I thought they all consisted of pre-shaped ground, trap-doors, and ghosts. (...) Agreed. I think Lego® inspires a lot of creativity building-wise, but the (...) (22 years ago, 23-May-03, to lugnet.castle)
