Hey Shiri, are you going to have a bar or anything in the Inn? I'm also trying to put an inn together. I've put a bar in, and I found the perfect bartender. I used the ninja mini-fig with brown armor,white eyebrows, and a black eyepatch. I think (...) (25 years ago, 11-Mar-00, to lugnet.castle)

Pretty nifty. I like the hour-glass shape of the castle. It has a very "tree-house" effect to it. Like Shiri, I've been trying to find a use for those brown round pieces (wheels) as well. I like the idea of using those as a large tree branch. (...) (25 years ago, 11-Mar-00, to lugnet.castle)
