There is a lack of a number of parts that are found throughout castle. Headwear in particular is lacking (last count all we have is the bullet helm, the flair helm and the forestmens hat. We really need another helm to use on our knights) But the (...) (23 years ago, 3-Jun-01, to lugnet.castle)

Horses... yep, we need them, alright. But it is an incredibly difficult part, it seems to me. (particularly since I have not actually made any parts yet) But, I have made a horse DAT file that is made from bricks, and actually has the proper spacing (...) (23 years ago, 3-Jun-01, to lugnet.castle)

So I'm trying to inventory a 6096 Bull's Attack in prep to list the pieces on BrickBay. One of the minifigs isn't listed in the BrickBay inventory (or at least I don't think it is). Page 3 of the instructions (for 6096) shows four minifigs. Of (...) (23 years ago, 3-Jun-01, to lugnet.castle)

I agree, this section is in bad shape. I even can't seem to find the forrest men's hat. Are you sure you don't mean the wizard's hat? Apparently there also isn't a skeleton arm lying around anywhere - which is ridiculous, cause all other parts of (...) (23 years ago, 3-Jun-01, to lugnet.castle)

Never mind, I found both parts. All one has to do is to dig around at cad.parts ... dig deep, that is. But still, no helmets :( (23 years ago, 3-Jun-01, to lugnet.castle)

Hmmm... maybe I'll try to get back to work on a battle scene that I was working on. Posing all of the minifigs separately so they all don't look like they were made with a cookie cutter takes a while though... :-) -Andy ----- Original Message ----- (...) (23 years ago, 3-Jun-01, to lugnet.castle)

BrickTopia is a modern city, but the mayor wanted to create something a little more old-fashioned for his residence. The resulting building is part fortress, part palace, and part modern high-rise.

Brad I checked out the pics. Very cool. I really like the overall top shot of the city. Very nice indeed. Keep up the great work. How about crossing over and becoming a pure castle builder?
