(...) Initially I used the large baseplate to make it easier to build. The primary purpose of this building is for a window display where an interior would be (mostly) wasted plastic. The current castle is a big, empty shell -- the floorplan exists (...) (25 years ago, 30-Mar-00, to lugnet.org.us.nelug, lugnet.castle)

(...) Impressive. Most impressive. You have quite a large structure there. What made you decide to use the large baseplate rather than smaller hinged sections? Or do you have a lifting roof for interior access? Cool! Aaron maniac@vol.com (25 years ago, 30-Mar-00, to lugnet.org.us.nelug, lugnet.castle)

(...) I just posted several close-up shots of my castle, including a couple of "fig's-eye views." (I've never seen such a humongous 1x2 brick!) The new shots also show a few architectural details and also the drawgate mechanism. I'm not sure why, (...) (25 years ago, 30-Mar-00, to lugnet.org.us.nelug, lugnet.castle)

In the future, though, I think we should use the BrikWars2000 rules revision- I've been looking over them and (...) (25 years ago, 29-Mar-00, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)

(...) Ah, BrikWars... Play well, not nice! I am so bummed out that I won't be able to attend the (first?) NELUG BrikWars event. It looks like it's going to be a lot of fun. Hopefully this will be only the first battle of many. Please take lots of (...) (25 years ago, 29-Mar-00, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)

Last one, I promise;) The Brikwars Manual is packed with literally dozens of pages of well-thought-out rules and suggestions, almost all of which are completely optional ;) In most cases, we'll just go by common sense and goodwill. In some other (...) (25 years ago, 28-Mar-00, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)

(...) The flag poles are just rigid white plastic tubes that are inserted into one of those light grey rails... <part:6140> I'm not sure what set I got them in, though... Probably the Technic Beach Buster, but I don't remember offhand. (25 years ago, 28-Mar-00, to lugnet.org.us.nelug, lugnet.castle)

(...) Lots to like. Innovative use of color, crisp photos, nice architecture, and I like the use of a mirror to show us more in one shot, although the mirror in the back works better than the mirror underneath the base place. I hope lots of pictures (...) (25 years ago, 27-Mar-00, to lugnet.org.us.nelug, lugnet.castle)
