(...) Thanks. I don't have many pieces that are rerally good for making castle style buildings, but I thought this came out great. (...) I used a Canon Rebel G and I ended up just using a table lamp from above because I couldn't get enough light any (...) (25 years ago, 5-May-00, to lugnet.castle)

I'm just announcing that I have some new pictures up on Brickshelf.

(...) Very nifty. I like the roof treatments in the castle, and I love the surroundings. (25 years ago, 5-May-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Well, judging from what's in the toy stores, I would suspect a farm theme would be marketable. I think it's Ertl which has a wonderfull looking series of HO scale farm playsets. Being HO scale, suggests that there is a sufficient market of (...) (25 years ago, 5-May-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Only gripe I've got with a bow and arrow is that there's always an arrow nocked and drawn. Peasants may have known how to use a bow and arrow, but they generally didn't wander through town with an arrow ready to let fly. :) I'd like to see (...) (25 years ago, 5-May-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Well, they're easier to make than a crossbow, certainly - and cheaper. Crossbows are probably easier to hit things with, but they're big and heavy and not something you'd want to carry around all day. (...) True. On the other hand, I regard (...) (25 years ago, 5-May-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Great stuff! Quest's and comm's...: I admire your innovative use of pieces. Ninja doors for roofs, swinging "portcullis" doors, and spears for jail cells... very unconventional, which makes it special and cool! Any chance we can see one (...) (25 years ago, 5-May-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) I use the same technique. Also, there is an old Fabuland "Saddlebags" piece that came with a motorcycle (I think?) that works great for this (funny, saddlebags work for making saddlebags? Who would've thought!). If you've never seen this (...) (25 years ago, 5-May-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) The top base is just a piece of plywood painted green. That won't be the final base, but I used it just so I could get some pictures posted. It will eventually be smaller when I'm finished. (...) Thanks! I will try to get it built as soon as (...) (25 years ago, 5-May-00, to lugnet.castle)

Does the emperor have the same torso as Maul? His arms kinda in the (...) (25 years ago, 6-May-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.castle)

(...) Just asking: Where did you see these packs? I only found the 3 Darths and the Han/Fett/Emporer sets at that site. You're right, though; 3 Pit Droids in a set is a dumb idea. If they do a lot more, I am hoping for one with Mara Jade, but I know (...) (25 years ago, 6-May-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.castle)

(...) Actually, I believe the accuracy of longbows is much greater than that of crossbows. Crossbows are kind of crude and brute force - no finesse. However, because they have much more force (the bolts are heavy), they are used to penetrate armour. (...) (25 years ago, 6-May-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) I'm just wondering why a villager would carry around a crossbow? First, they're way out their price range, and second, they're too complicated. A bow is pretty easy to make, and is free. Crossbows were pretty much used in the military. Jeff is (...) (25 years ago, 6-May-00, to lugnet.castle)
