Hey, I really don't know a whole lot about CW, to be honest, though I love some of the creations. that sounds like a perfect idea though, as there are many, many scenes left to film. The only problem I forsee is people being really attached to their (...) (24 years ago, 1-Jan-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.castle)

I'm about to go out for New Year's, but I'll definately take some shots of it tommorrow. The interesting thing about that ship is that it is built COMPLETELY upside down and sideways. There are no studs faceing up on the ship except for the very top (...) (24 years ago, 1-Jan-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.castle)

The other day someone linked to pictures of Don Bruce' micro-scale Colditz Castle (URL) got me thinking. So I built this micro-scale version of my Sanctuary of Fortuna Primigenia. It was fun to start with just the apex bricks and work down from (...) (24 years ago, 31-Dec-00, to lugnet.castle)

Yes fellow castle buffs, the wait will soon be over. After 3 years of HARD building my Camelot is nearly complete. It has been built on a 10 x 15 foot board, which has been detailed with realistic scenary to make my Camelot come to 'life'. Standing (...) (24 years ago, 31-Dec-00, to lugnet.castle)

You might try a power focus for your camera. I found it very difficult to set the focus from a distance from the computer. Check this out. (URL) Fay California, USA rfay@we.mediaone.net (URL) (24 years ago, 31-Dec-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.castle)
