Don't know if anyone saw this, but John Robert Blaze Kanehl (1) updated his homepage with a cool ninja creation... Nice job, John! I like the columns and narrow passages, and can relate to "no room in apartment" ;-) Anyway, here's da link: (URL) So (...) (25 years ago, 9-Apr-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) No, I hadn't seen that yet. Very cool! I'm glad that someone's keeping the Ninja spirit alive... :) I really liked the columns with the 1x1 angled bricks -- nice way to take something that could be "blah" and give it pizazz! Chris -- Remove (...) (25 years ago, 9-Apr-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Not to steal John's thunder, but it's just a matter of orienting the brick that way when you put it on the brick under it. Take a 1x1 brick and stick it on a stud- you can turn it, still mounted on the stud, 360 degrees. So, when placing the (...) (25 years ago, 9-Apr-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) The 1x1 tall pieces were put to great use but I love the white lattice fences on the second floor. And the size of the gatehouse is very awe-inspiring. Would make any decent army think twice. Way to go in moving japanese castle development (...) (25 years ago, 10-Apr-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Sorry, I made a comic book joke because I assumed Craig would get it. In Marvel Comics in the 70's a guy named Johnny Blaze was the host for Ghost Rider, the Spirit of Vengeance. He got quite upset when innocents were harmed. eric (25 years ago, 10-Apr-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Thanks! Good question, though. I don't have a digital camera, so I kind of have to take shots in batches, which is why I don't have anything newer than what Pawel's scanned in. Actually, I need a scanner of my own, too. I'll disassemble the (...) (25 years ago, 10-Apr-00, to lugnet.castle)
