Here are a few pics of the castle I'm working on. First is a rough layout that I did up in Excel using square cells that represent a 4x4 Lego area: (URL) purple rectangle in the center will be the king's quarters, or area where all the royalty (...) (25 years ago, 19-Jan-00, to lugnet.castle)

Geez ... the humbler has arrived;) Michael Ulring is the master of large castles and it looks like he has come to answer the call. I guess most of us can see what it takes now (i.e. - stacks and stacks of 1x5x7 walls.) I will put everything into (...) (25 years ago, 20-Jan-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Pawel, I think you overstate things a bit. I am proud of my creation, and hopefully it turns out as well as it looks in my mind. But there are a bunch of people in this group who could probably put me to shame if given access to the quantity (...) (25 years ago, 20-Jan-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Wow that is a HUGE castle you have so far. The final product will probably weigh a ton! I envy the fact that you have wall pieces built in twos lying everywhere, under, beside, and above the table, ready to be put into use. Same goes for all (...) (25 years ago, 20-Jan-00, to lugnet.castle)

Very impressive Michael. I love the immense size of it so far. I like the slight terrain change in the interior, makes it that more realistic. You sure do have alot of castle wall pieces. I'm now finally working on a new castle, my first one one was (...) (25 years ago, 20-Jan-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) That is the largest lego model i have ever seen! It makes my warwick castle look like a shack by comparison. How much do you think the model is worth? $1000? $5000? $10000? -- Jonathan Wilson wilsonj@xoommail.com (URL) (25 years ago, 21-Jan-00, to lugnet.castle)

What I like with your castle at this point is the way you're using not only grey, but also black and dark grey for the structure. I've seen many castles made using only one colour for the walls, and they look a tad dull. Fredrik (25 years ago, 22-Jan-00, to lugnet.castle)
