| (...) This is an excellent model and was my vote for Best Castle at NWBC. The trees in front rock, too, and I am going to have to try and copy them. I handled the whole model more than I was supposed to I think, so sorry for breaking it so may (...) (18 years ago, 30-Oct-06, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

| (...) Thank you. (...) While I agree that a properly set up render could look excellent the problems with it are twofold: firstly the selection of minifig parts in CAD is very small and secondly with that much balancing there is no way people would (...)

| Hello! Hey, I like that. Hrm, actually I don't, because I don't like drugs. But its' well built. The futon (? the couch, divan, anyway) looks great, and the chinese topknot is very convincing. It seems like you knew what you were doing here. (In (...) (18 years ago, 28-Oct-06, to lugnet.build.vignette, lugnet.castle, FTX)
| | | | | Re: London Opium Den

| (...) Good stuff! The queue and topknot are outstanding. I'm glad you're building in the brick, but this seems like one of those scenes that might look better rendered with smoke and shadows and whatnot. Photographed LEGO always looks as bright and (...)

| Sweeeet! The corner curved towers are what jump out at you, but the inner curved wall with the matching curved building atop is just brilliant. Lots of great details here, with the partially-submerged fin and the trail of blood in the water being my (...) (18 years ago, 27-Oct-06, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

| (...) My MOC was much smaller and used the combination of 1x1 rounds with 1x3 bricks to make a curved wall. John, was there a reason you chose the 1x2 bricks over the 1X3? (I would ask at the next VicLUG meeting but I thought others might like to (...) (18 years ago, 27-Oct-06, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

| Awesome work, you really have a fantastic attention to detail and to carefully placing every piece in your MOC. Making stuff look so effortless is anything but and you've done a great job here. Keep up the SNOT! (18 years ago, 26-Oct-06, to lugnet.castle, FTX)
| | | | | Re: Stoneguard Hold

| (...) Well done. Your castle has a really great look and feel to it, and your attention to detail is fantastic. I'm not really a fan of the curved walls, but it's nothing you've done. I'm just not a fan of the 1x2 and 1x1 round brick combination, it (...) (18 years ago, 26-Oct-06, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

| Absolutely gorgeous! I love the curved tudor piece, towers, layout, and small details. A really well executed MOC! Glad to see the art of castle making is alive and well... God Bless, Nathan Visit my brickshelf gallery: (URL) (pic=link) (18 years ago, 26-Oct-06, to lugnet.castle, FTX)
