(...) Yes, you can find more pics, castle0.jpg through castle9.jpg (except no castle3.jpg). They are a few closeups of interior stuff, but I wanted to hold those back until I've touched them up with weapons, flags, and most importantly minifigs - (...) (25 years ago, 4-Feb-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Maybe I missed or forgot this, but is there a reason you're only using tan? I think that yellow plates would work well for a thatched roof, and they'd add a bit of needed color to your town. Alternately, don't use plates at all - use bricks! (...) (25 years ago, 4-Feb-00, to lugnet.castle)

I found 3 FNFs at a local Walmart for $40 each. Not the greatest price but not too bad for 600-odd pieces. I bought two, left one. If anyone wants me to go back and snag it for them, LMK. J (25 years ago, 4-Feb-00, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.castle)
