| | | Hi all, This is the home of Wynok the Sage. I took these pictures using a "real" camera, but I think most of them turned out pretty good. Please excuse all the noise in the background. :-) The main folder: (URL) there you can view the interior and (...) (23 years ago, 7-Dec-01, to lugnet.castle.org.cw, lugnet.castle) !!

| | | | | | Thanks Aaron, but I can't take credit for the Tower of Isengard. That was Elliott Hyde. But I do thank your for your comments on this one. I really focused on the library on this one, making it "packed" with books. -Chris (...) (23 years ago, 8-Dec-01, to lugnet.castle.org.cw, lugnet.castle)

| | | | | Great work Chris! I like the way you've made it look very solid and almost castle-like but also clearly from the architecture, this is someone's home as opposed to a military fortess.
