| (...) Hi Nathan, great work as always. I bet you built it for the CC tower bridges contest. I like the towers, the unique windows, the clear shape in the middle, just great. P.S. how many BFF you had to buy for that? :-) (URL) (21 years ago, 28-Mar-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

| Have all you castle folks seen set #3535 "Skateboard Street Park"? Its a great set for castle parts! It includes: 2 - 8x16 tan baseplate 1 - small evergreen tree 4 - 1x6 brown tile 2 - 2x6 brown plate 6 - 1x2 dark grey brick 14 - 1x8 grey tile 4 - (...) (21 years ago, 28-Mar-04, to lugnet.castle)

|
| (...) I have to agree on this one. A good source of the classic (old) colors that are soon to be sadly retired. :( The price is a bit steep for the set, but it isn't too out of reach of most people. I just wish it would go on clearance more often... (...) (21 years ago, 29-Mar-04, to lugnet.castle)

| (...) Uhmm... You may wanna hold back on this one!!! I just bought this set in a toy store here in Denmark. Mine came with plates in old brown and tiles in new brown! I already notified Jake and customer service on this issue. Otherwise it really is (...) (21 years ago, 29-Mar-04, to lugnet.castle)

| Hi Everyone, I am pleased to announce my latest creation - the Great Hall of a castle. This is a two story structure with the hall on the lower level and living quarters for the castle family above. Exterior Shots: (2 URLs) I used pictures of castle (...)

| | | | Re: Great Hall
|
| (...) I really like the interior walls and ceilings. The plaster over the stone looks great, as do the beams on the ceiling. But the walls without windows look a little blank.

| | | | Old Man's Hut
|
| After reading -Siddhartha- a while ago, I've been interested in the theme of the old, enlightened hermit. And here's my Lego hermit: (URL) -Lenny (21 years ago, 31-Mar-04, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.announce.moc, FTX) !
| | | | Re: Great Hall
|
| (...) Hi Marc, Thank you for your comments. I am really pleased with the plaster work also. The wall doesnt have windows because it is an exterior castle wall. A tapestry may be appropriate here because that side of the room is very plain. I was (...) (21 years ago, 31-Mar-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)
| | | | Re: Great Hall
|
| (...) Ben, this is an excellent build. I'd have to agree with Marc that the castle wall with no windows is plain, i think at least one would have been fun. I do enjoy the plaster walls - something I'd never do b/c of the piece usage, but it is cool (...) (21 years ago, 1-Apr-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)
| | | | Re: Old Man's Hut
|
| (...) Hi Lenny, I like this new hut. The figure looks like a hermit. His hut contains a small amount of tools and furnishings for a simple lifestyle. I could definitely see this hut tucked away in the middle of a forest somewhere during medieval (...) (21 years ago, 1-Apr-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)
| | | | Re: Great Hall

| (...) Thank you. (...) Perhaps on my next moc I can try some snot experimentations for small windows to use in these situations :) (...) Yes, the plaster work took the most time and pieces. I had to search for white plates and was constantly running (...) (21 years ago, 1-Apr-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

| This, as well as the Hermit's Hut, were down well before PDX but never photographed - this one was done as an experiment in my 'tri-fold' technique of opening shops. It uses Dan Siskind's idea of roof peaks for a seamless roof that can open, but I (...) (21 years ago, 1-Apr-04, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.announce.moc, FTX)

| | | | Re: Great Tower

| (...) Excellent detailing throughout! You also made very good use of the rock-patterned wall panels- just enough to add some variation but not overwhelming. I think you missed the "could be a set" goal for this particular alphabet project model, but (...) (21 years ago, 1-Apr-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)
| | | | Re: Great Tower

| (...) Thanks! (...) Yeah, this and the executioner are not really "set" creations. That's why I qualified the "set" goal with *most* :) I had to do some sort of great tower/keep, which doesn't lend itself to being an actual set. James (21 years ago, 2-Apr-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)
