Someone asked earlier this month if I could do my Wizards Hut in Ldraw and put it up on my page for them. I got that done yesterday and figured if anyone else might want them they can grab them from my page. That's all that's new so far :( It's been (...) (24 years ago, 20-Apr-00, to lugnet.castle)

I just got done updating my trades page, and I wanted to see what you guys (and gals) need in return for my needs. Please check it out.

| | New dragon breeds
|
|
I was wondering if anyone else plans to use the dinos from the Dino Island line for new breeds of dragons. Those li'l T-Rex's look to make fine dragon hatchlings. And I'm guessing that 5903 will be a $6 set, so I'll have me a whole herd of young (...) (24 years ago, 20-Apr-00, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.adventurers)

(...) Just maybe! I definitely plan on getting the Dino Island sets - they excite me more than any of the other Adventurer's stuff has. I haven't decided if I'll use them as dragons, or if there should be a "Lost World"/Skartaris thing going on... (...) (24 years ago, 20-Apr-00, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.adventurers)

(...) Aye, Ice knights woulda been nifty. But the pterodactyl is almost too small for a rider, don't ya think? I guess it could be tried, but I was thinking more along the lines of having a couple of them haul some sort of sky sled. I don't know, (...)

| | Bull's Attack (6096)
|
|
Got set 6096 yesterday. A good collection of siege weapons. My only problem with it is that it only come with four mini figs (3 Bulls, 1 Lion prisoner). A couple more Bull soldiers to man the weapons would have been good. Now I have to go build them (...) (24 years ago, 20-Apr-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Extremely cool! I can't wait to see it finished! I noticed a large platform over water w/ a bridge leading to it in some pics; is that some sort of dragon landing platform? I've had an idea to do something like that for years! -Chris (24 years ago, 20-Apr-00, to lugnet.castle)

| | The cost of minifigs
|
|
Boy, minifigs sure are expensive! Not to purchase, but to maintain! I've started planning of the barracks for my fortress, and it appears that the magic number is 6x12 "studs" of floor space for every two minifigs (or 72 square studs). Why is that (...) (24 years ago, 20-Apr-00, to lugnet.castle)

By putting them in triple layer bunks, I figure I can fit 6 of them in a 8x6x8 area... which means for roughly 100, all you need is a 32x24x8 stud room. As for gear, all their armor and weapons are property of the kingdom, they stay in the armory (...) (24 years ago, 20-Apr-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Also, since your minifigs will probably be on guard duty in shifts, you can limit the number of beds to equal the number of soldiers who are off duty. :) The soldiers on duty certainly won't be able to use the beds... You could even make it a (...) (24 years ago, 20-Apr-00, to lugnet.castle)
