I love the Yellow Castle myself.  As far as using Yellow on a large scale I • say

Just out of curiosity, how many gray packs did you buy?


I think any color done right would look great.  Of course Black does not
photograph well so I try and stay away from that but otherwise I think any
color looks right in LEGO mainly because its LEGO.  Those colors might not • look
right in the real world but this is a LEGO world and Bright colors just seem • to
be a part of it.

Thanks kinda what I was thinking, too.  This will be a peacefull, "good" city,
so I think the bright, cheery yellow will work.  I will prolly use black and
blue in my evil fortress.  Very far down the road for now...


I have also been working on building my gate and wall for my city.  I had not
meant to publish these pictures yet but if you are interested you can see my
gate here.  (This is just a directory for unpublished pictures.  Oops now my
secret is out!!  :-).

Very nice!  Looks imposing, and strong!  I really like the thin band of red in
the wall.  Nice touch.

The concept for mine is very similar, but I envision more towers and spires in
mine.  My city will be at the top of it's prosperity, and be overconfident in
it's safety.  Little do they know that the evil the ravaged the world not so
long ago is rekindling...


I have not published this yet because I still expect this to change.  There • are
a few aspects of the gate that I am considering changing (Or purchasing some
LEGO so I can change them mostly for color purposes).  I don't know how this
would look in Yellow but I also would love to see a different Gate/Wall done • in
Yellow because it intrigues me now that you have mentioned it.

Hopefully I can get enough done in the next week or so to get some pics up!

Yet another Eric,
Eric

(...) I bought around 50 of the service packs last year. Which is 700 2x4 bricks alone. Unfortunately there are not as many 1xX bricks in the packs so I am running low on 1xX's now. I still have a lot of 2xX's though so my limiting factor for the (...) (25 years ago, 21-Feb-00, to lugnet.castle)
