Hello all,

What Hendo said. And with that said, I'm in the transition between being a
sophomore and junior in undergrad, currently at Monmouth U. I took a leave
of abscence from Wash U in St. Louis this semester to explore other options
and be closer to home (NJ). I was/am studying architecture and graphic design.

Not sure if this is a definite but Salogel. I actually started writing the
story to this and a large battle that I plan on illustrating (at least
partially) this weekend. Maybe I'll post the intro??

> Favorite Castle set?
Hmm...6086 Black Knight's Castle...really think this was the best "castle"
LEGO churned out (finally ordered one for my birthday two years ago) but I
have to say that 6066 Camoflauge Outpost is my favorite.
I also wish that I had picked up a bunch more of the Black Knight and
Defense Archer sets!
>
> Favorite Personal MOC?
I have to say my Royal Knights/Crusaders castle. Most complete and
realistic one I have made. Except I have not taken pics recently and none
are uploaded at this time.
I have not been the most avid contributor to .Castle but I have been amazed
with everything I've seen and read over the past two years. I also only
started posting two months ago.
>
> Favorite Other MOC?
I'd say Jon Furman's LOTR series (Golden Hall for buildings) and his
excellent modular village sets. I saw the debut of Takeshi Itou's stunning
work but missed a bunch of the new stuff...that North Glacier Tower is
uber-cool.

BUnch of great ideas mentioned here...to recap:

> Hendo:
When you consider that historically the majority of Medieval Europeans lived
in rural villages, it would be nice to have more peasants and farmers to
have as a backdrop to the other, more story-providing sub-themes.
> DaveE:
- More complex design (not just columns holding up a roof a la Harry Potter
or Leo's Castle).
- Continue subthemes beyond the release year. One of Lego's selling points
is reusability, but today's castle sets are hardly comparable to those in
days past. Compare to Playmobil's compatibility.
- Include more 'day-in-the-life' buildings
- Go back to openable, expandable castles. Love the ability to combine 2 or
more castles together to make a wicked cool castle.
Bruce: I'd also like to see other cultures--Vikings, Romans, Greeks, etc.
Anthony Sava's idea: Or maybe even better yet. Maybe they could do
something like the My Own Train thing.
Micah: The Forestmen Builder Set, which would give kids an endless amount of
tree house designs.
I'd buy a bunch of those Forestmen Builder Sets! I'd also like to see some
village sets along the lines of medieval Scots.

| Hey all, it seems lugnet.castle has been kinda quiet lately, and since I don't have anything new to post, I thought it might be fun to do a little survey kinda thing. Just reply to this message and fill in the answers with your own. What is your (...) (22 years ago, 21-May-03, to lugnet.castle)
