| (...) Hi Bruce, Nice!! Fun to revisit your MOCs and see them all connected together. I hadn't noticed the square cups/glasses in the sushi bar before, they're great. As is everything. Thanks for sharing! Cyndi (19 years ago, 30-Apr-05, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

The curved tan pieces that cover a 2x2 area right at the centre of your fountain, are they the standard 'well' pieces in tan? From some SW set you picked up for parts for (...)

The floor is actually a big wall of tan bricks that's been flopped over on its side. (...) (19 years ago, 29-Apr-05, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

| I just had a peek at what is coming in the KK2 series for 2005, and it seems like the 8877 Vladek's Dark Castle is a return to the classic fold-out designs. At least there is no ugly raised baseplate, and the design looks highly modular. (URL) this (...) (19 years ago, 27-Apr-05, to lugnet.castle)

I see what you mean on the arch/slope thing (at first I thought you meant along the tops of the walls, which I was pretty happy with, but I assume you mean the shape of the gateway). That comes out of a) inverse slope (...) (19 years ago, 26-Apr-05, to lugnet.castle, FTX)
