(...) Very impressive. I really like the corner bits at the top, using hinges to get the windows at a 45 degree angle to the main body of the tower. Which those then lead to the top part which is twisted as well. The labratory is a sight too. All (...) (21 years ago, 2-Jul-03, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

Breathtaking! Jojo, I love the way you can take bricks and make them become things we never would have imagined. The level of detail is outstanding. (I love the way you made the balcony railing from goblets.) I want to live in that tower. Stephen (21 years ago, 3-Jul-03, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

I'd just like to echo what others have said. Top creation with shedloads of detail there. The trees look great, the windows are great, hey even the drainage is great. I really like the detailing at the top of the tower with all its nice angles. (...) (21 years ago, 4-Jul-03, to lugnet.castle)

Hello! (...) That's exactly the truth. I firstly built the corner turrets that confronted me with the problem how to attach a proper roof to them.
