As if you guys didn't need more proof of how awesome this castle is, I saw it at NWBrickCon. This thing is awesome, tons of details and the terrain around it is amzing. And even better were the space pirates. what's cooler than a castle with (...) (19 years ago, 13-Oct-05, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

(...) [McSnip] (...) [Snipinski] (...) Holy. Moo. Muffins. That is freakin' cool! Drachenschlaf is like a text book on how to make minifig-scale LEGO castles - I'm going to be referring to this for a long time to come. Thanks for all the hard work, (...) (19 years ago, 13-Oct-05, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Robin, I can certainly see why this was a prize winner, the originality and level of detail are great. I love the cog, that's an amazing ship for brick (non pirate hull) construction. I love the odd shape of the castle, it's not just a square (...) (19 years ago, 13-Oct-05, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

(...) Wow, that is just lovely! Such a variety of shapes, and none of them boring rectangles. Angled walls, hills, round towers - so much to see and admire. Great job, definitely worth spotlighting! JohnG, GMLTC (19 years ago, 13-Oct-05, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

(...) This is fabulous. Great attention to detail. As other have said, all the curves and twists and turns make it even more wonderful. Did you consider mixing new grey and old grey together for the castle walls? (if not on this project, on others?) (...) (19 years ago, 13-Oct-05, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

(...) Thanks for your comments, all! I have experimented with using old and new light grey together, and I have to say I just don't like it (yet). I think I'll need to play a bit more with it. I did (by necessity) have to use some faded grey bricks, (...) (19 years ago, 14-Oct-05, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

GREAT Castle! And you make me sick! It's not enough to build an awesome castle, but then you've gotta go and show off by making it into a giant Moonbase© module, too! James Wilson (19 years ago, 14-Oct-05, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

Excellent work, I particularly like the height of the base all around... really makes it look like a 'crop' from a bigger world. I think that is my faviorite part : ) Though the ninja walls covered by arches look great, the various angles are mind (...) (19 years ago, 15-Oct-05, to lugnet.castle, FTX)
