Fellow brickwielders, I just finished my MOC for the 1000Steine-exhibition in Berlin, germany. As it is basically located in a fantasy setting, lugnet.castle might be the right place to 'show off' :-) The gallery: (URL) Christian Treczoks (21 years ago, 16-Jun-03, to lugnet.castle) !!

(...) Holy plastic bricks batman! Well, that is very impressive. It looks so realistic! Intresting the way you did the diagonals on the tudor stuff. That must have taken a long time. And now I know who has all the red slopes in the world, you've (...) (21 years ago, 16-Jun-03, to lugnet.castle)

Hi Christian! Welcome to Lugnet! So let me repeat what I've said already in broken German in the (URL) 1000steine forum> in broken English now... :-) The Building is great and I look forward to see it in reality. However, you really should add some (...) (21 years ago, 16-Jun-03, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

Christian, That is truly a brilliant model. Ausgezeichnet! Thanks for sharing this with us. I love the dark patches in the stonework. Are they meant to look like cracks? I also really like the covered crossway over the main gate. It makes the model (...) (21 years ago, 18-Jun-03, to lugnet.castle)

Hi Christian, (...) I like to do something similar, using bricks in a off color (often red or yellow) to mark specific spots in a design, removing them while building continues. (...) No need to excuse yourself, the explanation seems clear enough to (...) (21 years ago, 20-Jun-03, to lugnet.castle)

Hello! (...) Ah! Thanks for the hint! This set indeed seem to be full of useful parts. Lots of red top-rounded windows (though without panes I'm affraid).
