Ahh, yes, Castle legos... What better medium for us kids at heart to build our dreams on a coffee table. However, I just wish the figures lent themselves more to realistic posing. In particular, I would like to know if anyone has found a way to (...) (24 years ago, 10-Jul-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Well, it's easy to make it appear that the sword is sheathed and the knight is "resting his hand on the pommel": Take the minifig, and be sure that the hand is in its "normal" position: C-shaped from above, curved edges down. Place the sword (...) (24 years ago, 10-Jul-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) I used to make swordbelts when I was younger. I would make a small loop of thread (enough to loop around, say, two 1x1 cylinder bricks). Separate the torso from the legs slightly and slip the thread in on the right side, looping around the (...) (24 years ago, 10-Jul-00, to lugnet.castle)

Hi Shiri, (...) Hehe thanks for the compliments! (...) Yes, the lake is made from raised baseplates. Most of the upper level is built on large green baseplates too. The advantage is not needing to use tiles, but these baseplates are much more flimsy (...) (24 years ago, 10-Jul-00, to lugnet.castle)

Hi, A few days ago, I introduced you all to Tanabry and Mount Greystone. But in that message, I also challenged you to see if you could determine the fate of Sir Marcus. However, nobody has really addressed this yet! So, I challenge you again, to (...) (24 years ago, 10-Jul-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Like you said - pretty much every set qualifies... I find the SW sets as awesome resources for castle parts and population. Town and trains are normally less helpful, but on occasion there are some cool pieces that come with them so it's worth (...) (24 years ago, 11-Jul-00, to lugnet.castle)

Howdy All, I am currently playing around with ideas for my first castle. In doing research (since I'm typically a space guy) I have found that seige craft (towers and rams) pose the greatest threat to a walled defense. (24 years ago, 11-Jul-00, to lugnet.castle)
