Hi Kai! (Und was sich reimt, ist gut.) (...) Yes, that's a Norman castle. Nice. In fact, that's the type of castle I wanted to build always since I'd read Ivanhoe. You did it for me, thanks :-) Bye Jojo (21 years ago, 15-Sep-03, to lugnet.castle)

Great looking castle, Kai. This just keeps getting better and better. I like that you accurately put D shaped towers on the gatehouse. That's the classic shape in a Norman castle. Keep up the good work! Stephen (21 years ago, 16-Sep-03, to lugnet.castle)

Hello! (...) [LEGOSet 1917] (...) Yes, I've moved it to the Black Knights section. Preliminary I referred to the "king" in its name. The King has always been on the Crusaders' side (although never an official king apperaed in any set) and not on the (...) (21 years ago, 17-Sep-03, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

Waiting for Bricks! Man, do I understand that story! :) I see that the Black Falcons are already checking out the walls. It will be an interesting battle. Your historical details are really good, are you patterning this on a real castle? Stephen (21 years ago, 17-Sep-03, to lugnet.castle)

Hello! (...) After that battle the keep will be called "White Falcon Castle" of course. Bye Jojo (21 years ago, 17-Sep-03, to lugnet.castle)

(...) I don't think so Jojo! The falcons only have one type of siege weapon. The king's knights should have no problem running down and destroying a catapult or two. :) BTW - Kai your castle looks great. It should withstand a falcon attack, when (...) (21 years ago, 17-Sep-03, to lugnet.castle)

(...) But will the Falcons seek alliance with the other factions, or will they act unilaterally? (Ich habe dein post auf 1000steine gelesen and ich koennte nicht einen WITZ zu machen widerstehen.) Stephen (21 years ago, 17-Sep-03, to lugnet.castle)

Hmm...just check out the last post ( backside of the wlc ) to the the amount of crusaders against the falcons. I gues there will be about 10 more but that's it ... no more falcons :) Maybe you should send me a bunch of falcons to lead them to (...) (21 years ago, 23-Sep-03, to lugnet.castle)
