(/sarcasm) Seriously though, it looks great Paul and I'd be greatful to have it for the July Display. Should fit in nicely (...) (21 years ago, 14-Apr-04, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.loc.us.oh, FTX)

One of the best and largest castle creation I've seen in a while. But since I (...) (21 years ago, 14-Apr-04, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.loc.us.oh)

| (...) Beautiful! Simply beautiful! The main color scheme (old)brown/tan is always a winner. And with a bit of medium blue and dark red works very well indeed. Wow, and that roof is GREAT!

| Paul, this is an awesome model. I'm sure the picture doesn't do its size justice! I really like how the circular 'tiled' roof looks. Why didn't you use this for all of the roofing? Can't wait to see the interior! James (21 years ago, 15-Apr-04, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.loc.us.oh, FTX)

Now I'm really disappointed that I'm not going to be able to make the Homedays show. I'd (...) (21 years ago, 16-Apr-04, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.loc.us.oh, FTX)

| Amazing work Paul, like everybody else, I'm blown away by the roof. The entrance is also a great piece of building. The color scheme is perfect, espicially with those bits of red and blue on the corners. Well done. -Keith (21 years ago, 17-Apr-04, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.loc.us.oh, FTX)

Second, I wanted some variation, as many of such buildings (...) (21 years ago, 17-Apr-04, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.loc.us.oh, FTX)
