(...) I realy knew what you ment, the early wooden "castles" where build on motte's - until they were to big/heavy... as you described before. I just wrote my favorite kind of making the surrounding of a castle - a moat. :) (...) yes - there are (...) (21 years ago, 23-Oct-03, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Acutally, I've heard that some of today's special forces do the same thing. The reason being that if there is a failure in their night vision equipment, they will still have one eye that can adjust to the dark quickly. It's second hand (...)

Hi everybody, As promised I'm proudly presenting the 2nd MOC I've been working on recently. A small 'Medieval Peasant's Church' which would probably would look much better if it was white but as castle fan all I have is gray:-) It's been inspired by (...)

Yaron, Very nice church. I like the details in the windows especially. Also the goblet, the books (hymn books or bibles?), the statue, the shields are all nice details. The clapper on the bell is a good idea - I'll have to borrow that sometime. Does (...) (21 years ago, 23-Oct-03, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

(...) Shoot. I wrote a big long post after going through and finding pictures on Brickshelf, but my browser crashed and the post was lost. Grr. Anyway, I can think of 3 ways to build moats: 1. Castle on green baseplates, blue plates on top of the (...) (21 years ago, 23-Oct-03, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Hi Bruce, I really glad you liked it, thank you very much for your very quick replay. As for the bell, it does swing, infact it does everything beside ring:-) I wanted to attach a thread to my minifigs so they can swing it:-) You can borrow it (...)

(...) I guess something like that would work with your keep, but I dunno if I'll be able to make a moat on mine, on the outside of a curtain wall. BTW I never got around to complimenting on your keep, I love the way it opens up and the way you've (...) (21 years ago, 23-Oct-03, to lugnet.castle)

(...) That'd be really cool. Maybe a bunch of spears set into 1x1 round bricks stuck to the bottom of the moat. (...) Yeah, I generally avoid the raised baseplates because it's hard to get them to fit with the rest of the landscape. Oh, one thing on (...) (21 years ago, 23-Oct-03, to lugnet.castle)

(...) I like the detail on the lighthouse, especially the seagulls. I've been thinking of doing a light-tower along similar lines, though likely it won't be as big when I get around to it. Nice church too. And the pennant detail on that 'big house' (...) (21 years ago, 23-Oct-03, to lugnet.castle)
