(...) The tall columns, fancy windows, and arch on the side of the building give it (to me) the flavor of a "reclaimed building"- ie, it looks like it was once a much larger and grander building that fell to ruin and was rebuilt in part by the (...) (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)

My favourites are Castle, Space, Star Wars (as my .sig probably gives away), and Adventurers. I have large projects planned for all of them, but I'm usually only working on one at a time. Right now, I'm building a large multi-deck space cruiser. -- (...) (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)

(...) 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)
