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)

(...) Beautiful! The hut has an elegant shape with attractive colors, and is well detailed. And the hermit has a bed, a table, and a dead bird on a spit. What else does anyone really need? (2 URLs) AndroDan>> Tony Hafner (URL) www.hafhead.com> (21 years ago, 1-Apr-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

Hey Lenny, Cool hermit and house! A must for any village. Is that bird a pet, or dinner? :) James (21 years ago, 1-Apr-04, to lugnet.castle)

(...) 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.

(...) 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)

(...) 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)

(...) 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)

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) !

I saw this earlier today while browsing Brickshelf and was awed. I particularly like the recessed cross-shaped windows. Too bad that LEGO doesn't make 48X48 baseplates in green. (21 years ago, 27-Mar-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)
