Wow, Eric does some excellent work too!

Hey thanks, I still find it strange when my name shows up in a thread I havn't
even participated in...  Better be careful or my head will swell, which
wouldn't be good because I already have a 24 inch cranium so there isn't much
room for expansion ;-).

But really thanks.  I havn't done much on the Castle side for a few months now.
Actually I havn't had nearly the building time I used to and that time is now
spent on Trains and a Modern town.  Most of the Castle stuff is still intact
though and I intend on returning to it one day.


Note on the two tudor buildings on the top of his main picture....those are
how I have my roofs. You can get more of a slant that way.

Just so we get credit to where it is ultimately due.  I stole that idea from
Dave Eaton.

I mainly made up the extra peasant houses for a NELUG display we did.

Note: I know what you  mean about the red lattice windows looking a bit
prissy. However, they look killer when you place a light inside the house when
displaying. It really hurls you into that "mysterious night, eerie glow from
the village" feel. If that makes any sense?

Hey I like the arch windows I think they are great.  If LEGO Direct ever
offered those in bulk I would definitely be working on a huge castle.  Other
things LD needs to offer would be Dark Gray Bricks (Great for walls and
Castles) and Arches in many colors and sizes.


Hey Kyle - Have you seen Eric Kingsley's castle site? He has some really nice
stuff. His houses were what inspired me to build mine. Here's a link:

Okay Eric, I have some comments on the following link. (...) such a wall. The thing that struck me the most is your seige weapons.
