I didn't get around to saying how much I enjoyed this. There is geat humour and technique in this one (or should I say nine?) I'm especially impressed by the sheer audacity, confidence and even decadence of buttressing the walls. It's like fighting (...) (20 years ago, 12-Mar-05, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

Hello! (...) Thanks for the praise! (...) I don't hope so. Maybe I'd not be able to jump over it myself... (...)

Hello! (...) Oooh, actually you are the last one to have reason to feel humbled! Your skills of illustrating a story (the Bible, but whom do I tell that) are hardly equaled. (...) Hehe, I happened to have a not too small an amount of those flat (...) (20 years ago, 10-Mar-05, to lugnet.castle)

Hello! (...) Thanks for the praise! Well, the story... I don't build for the purpose of illustrating stories, but I wrote the story to accompany the pictures. I'm afraid this does affect the quality of the story... Henceforth there shall not be a (...) (20 years ago, 10-Mar-05, to lugnet.castle)

Hello! (...) Thanks for the praise! I too am pleased with the outcome of the sandy-grey mottling. I pondered to build it completely in sand (since the original is sand-coloured) but I didn't have close to enough parts to do it, and there wouldn't (...) (20 years ago, 10-Mar-05, to lugnet.castle)

(...) I'll second all the compliments. One thing I wanted to add was that I also saw the pictures first. That there was a story about a young woman becoming a wizard and them setting out and finding her own home was quite obvious. Frank (20 years ago, 8-Mar-05, to lugnet.castle)

This MOC is truly amazing!! Jojo, your work constantly astounds me. You are constantly raising the bar.

Jojo, this structure is so impressive! Every once in a while I get it in my head that I'm starting to become a good builder, but then something like this comes along and I feel humbled. Excellent job capturing the overall look of the building, (...) (20 years ago, 8-Mar-05, to lugnet.castle, FTX)
