(...) I love the sculpting on this. It really looks like a castle from a fantasy novel cover. Just the right amount of sand and foliage too and the chains look excellent. The castle is good but I have to say it is the landscaping that really grabs (...) (18 years ago, 13-Oct-06, to lugnet.castle)

(...) My favorite part of this is the detailing in the rooms. The furniture all looks great, but I especially love the fireplaces. I also like how you used the plates over the arches on the bridge to give it a nice curved look. -Elroy (18 years ago, 13-Oct-06, to lugnet.castle)

'ello! That's a nice keep again. I too like the natural look of the landscaping, but also the keep itself is done pretty well. It has the specific clean and nice Denix-look to it. My favourite part, however, is this cupboard in the kitchen: (URL) (...) (18 years ago, 13-Oct-06, to lugnet.castle)

Very well sculpted and the landscaping is also very nice, strays a little to far into the realms of fantasy for my taste (but I'm guessing that's what you were going for). My only complaint would be how closely the scenery blends with the castle, (...) (18 years ago, 13-Oct-06, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

Hi, Tim. Interesting way of doing the legs of the horsemen. Is that a half-stud offset? And is that the new 1x1 slope piece with no stud as their hips? If so, without the stud, what's keeping the torsos in place? Nice scene. -Brendan (18 years ago, 18-Oct-06, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.build.vignette, FTX)
