(...) Great model. Excellent optimization of parts (base and half tower pieces), and great use of color and slopes. I like the fortifications on the top the best. In the last photo with the two shadowy figures - it looks like there are four (...)   (25 years ago, 16-Jan-01, to lugnet.castle)

I guess they figured their own story out and made me tell it finally. <G> <snipped> (...) It certainly takes time; if nothing else (...)   (25 years ago, 16-Jan-01, to lugnet.castle)

 (...) My official feedback is that you should keep doing this! The story was very well done, and the combining the foreground and the background was very well done. I'm a sucker for historical myth, even if the 'history' is ficticious, and the bit (...)   (25 years ago, 16-Jan-01, to lugnet.castle)

It worked fairly well to smooth the edges, especially of the trees, to make it look more like one image and not like I just cut something out of a magazine and slopped it onto another picture.

(...) Thanks for the input, Michael! I'll try to keep it up.:) I just hope that the rest of my story meets with as much approval. If there's one thing I, myself, don't like - it's a story that builds up and then fizzles and goes flat. (Gibson's (...)   (25 years ago, 16-Jan-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...)

(...) Thanks Pawel. I wanted to convey the feeling that Sidon was a hub for many different people and that people make livings doing different things. As for the building, I decided to build something in the Black Falcons Fortress color scheme. I'm (...)   (25 years ago, 16-Jan-01, to lugnet.castle)

Can anyone point me to a picture/set list/description of how the old castles are "supposed" to snap together? I have seen several sets, all with technic pins & holes - like they are supposed to go together. I would like to know if TLG ever actually (...)   (25 years ago, 16-Jan-01, to lugnet.castle)
