(...) I Agree with the above! A very nice roof construction. Roofs can really make a great building look even better! I also agree that sometimes less is better then more. You could make 4 really nice, big bedrooms on the second floor instead of 8 (...) (23 years ago, 24-May-01, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.castle.org.cw)

(...) Very cool inn, Tamy! Excellent job on the roof, that does look like it was very tricky. As someone else mentioned, good use of an oddball baseplate, too. I also like the name - but I'm biased, since my household in the SCA is the Silver Talon (...) (23 years ago, 24-May-01, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.castle.org.cw)

(...) The parts from 5138 are not so different from 5184 & 5059, are they? But of course, you're not really talking about 'parts,' are you? You're talking about the armor! So, just out of curiosities sake, how much WOULD you pay for the armor? (...) (23 years ago, 24-May-01, to lugnet.castle)
