It would be pretty nice. The only problem is that I don't have a digital camera and very little medieval pieces. Oh well, it'd be pretty cool. (24 years ago, 20-Sep-00, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.gaming)

O.K. What is everyone's opinion on painting lego? I am currently debating painting a few minifig heads olive green for an Orc Army. I have everything (except the heads assembled) I have been trying different heads but to no avail. Has anyone else (...) (24 years ago, 20-Sep-00, to lugnet.castle)

There is a _translucent_green_ UFO head, I think, but it wouldn't be good on a Castle monster. My opinon on painting LEGO is that it shouldn't be done. To me, the point of LEGO is to build something new and unique using existing parts. To me, (...) (24 years ago, 20-Sep-00, to lugnet.castle)

Hi, What's the best Star Wars set for us Castle nuts? I've heard all about that grey plates pack (aka 7151 Sith Infiltrator), but grey plates aren't that high on my priority list. So I'm looking for suggestions, or convince me that the 7151 is worth (...) (24 years ago, 21-Sep-00, to lugnet.castle)

Here is what I found useful: <set:7110> Landspeeder. Two great peasants, two gray macaroni bricks, and plenty of tan elements. Downside: The engines are not too useful. (Challenge 1: Incorportate them into the castle theme). <set:7115> Gungan Patrol (...) (24 years ago, 21-Sep-00, to lugnet.castle)
