(...) (unfortunately, the pictures didn't turn out to be any good.) Mine wasn't quite as steep, and used a somewhat different construction. Both sides were able to fold upwards enabling me to get at the interior. (24 years ago, 21-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.build)

(...) really well with the microfig medieval town Shiri did a while back. The tile door adds a lot; perhaps you could fit in a 1x3 arch for that curved look, or even use a 2x4 arch with 2 seperate 1x2 grill tiles for that portcullis look? A. Mark (...)

(...) 45-degree pitch you should be able to finish the side edge of the peak with virtually no gap using one 1x2 plate on the underside of the 1-by's on one edge. There'll be a bit that hangs down, but it'll look decorative. Amy (24 years ago, 22-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.build)

Have you tried the Tamiya or Gunze Sangyo (sp?) lines of water-based acrylics? They are matched to the FS color scale, and are pretty faithful in their results. I'm not sure where you can get one, but if you can come up with a FS color chip set, you (...) (24 years ago, 22-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Hello Mike, I've got several extras of the figs from the Tournament as well as the knight's procession, most in very good to excellent condition. I'd be happy to consider a trade. Just email me. Fritz (24 years ago, 22-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle)

Does anyone have a spreadsheet or database containing information on all castle sets? I'd like to inventory what I have and get out a "want list" and a "trade list" of my duplicates. Thanks in advance, Andy (24 years ago, 22-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle)
