I love it! I like how you made the draw bridge chains. See if you can make one even smaller! =) -FLIP- (19 years ago, 4-Oct-05, to lugnet.build.microscale, lugnet.castle, FTX)

(...) Hi Jason, Thank you for your comments. I seriously doubt that I can make a good castle even smaller :) The chains were a spur of a moment decision. I like them but not how bulky the bottom of the car shifter piece is. It looks even better just (...) (19 years ago, 5-Oct-05, to lugnet.build.microscale, lugnet.castle, FTX)

Cool moc, one question about the photo above, The black drawbridge cables seem to have a fine white fringe around them (especially the near one) that really helps distinguish them from the black drawbridge itself.

A nice collection of MOCs, I won't comment on which is best... ; ) Seriously; I like the drawbridge chains, a nice use of a 'town' part. One of these days I'll have to try a micro castle...

Odin and his brothers slay Ymir and the frost giants. From Ymir's wounds come rivers of blood, drowning and nourishing all things. Odin and his brothers escape the torrent in a ship... (URL) (19 years ago, 8-Oct-05, to lugnet.build.vignette, lugnet.castle, FTX)

Fit it on an 8x8 base, so its a true vignette. And two... your Odin has two eyes ;) (...) (19 years ago, 8-Oct-05, to lugnet.build.vignette, lugnet.castle, FTX)

Nice work. A little graphic but all round very creative... the use of the yeti is brilliant! My only Q, why does Odin always get the headline? What about his brothers? Do they have names?

Looking closely at the scene on the inside of the flap of 7018 Viking ship vs. something forgetable... I noticed a Vladek Clone Knight, from Vladek's castle, holding a double bladed axe with a bley handle, any relation to next year's KK2? This (...)

I looked at your vignette and got started! Since I didn't read straight through my handy manual of Norse Myths, I have to use the index. Ah, here it is: Odin, eye lost by: page 15. In the Yeti's ears you can put Viking horns, or flames. Lego thinks (...) (19 years ago, 9-Oct-05, to lugnet.build.vignette, lugnet.castle, FTX)

I will separate it into two true 8x8 bases, one for Ymir, one for Odin. Fair? Buri was the first man. His son Bor married Bolthor's daughter of the frost giants. She was called Bestla and her three sons were Odin, Vili, and Ve. After slaying Ymir, (...) (19 years ago, 9-Oct-05, to lugnet.build.vignette, lugnet.castle, FTX)
