Build it and they will come.
The CC Team 27 IV 04

Wow...

Classic-Castle.com has just passed a new milestone in its very young history. 100,000 hits to the main page! We're all pretty awe-struck, to tell the truth. Who would have guessed back when we started planning this website back in August it'd be so... so...

Feel the Castle love, baby!


Here's to another 100,000 hits!


Two Great MOCs
Anthony 26 IV 04

First is Lenny's brand new MOC: Horatio Spike, a well designed and very adorable Dragon.

And second, James Brink has created the next letter for his Castle Alphabet Project: Henry's House. For those of you who don't know, Henry is Classic-Castle's unofficial minifig mascot who's traversing the globe, spreading the castle love.

Go on and check em out before they go away! Well, ok, even though Henry isn't home, his house isn't going anywhere. And that Horatio, I don't know if he'll be able to go anywhere soon with those little wings. So, take your time I suppose.

James' New Castle
Anthony 22 IV 04

James Stacey has posted to our forum pictures of his latest MOC: a castle being built in several stages. Currently it's in its third stage, but the above picture is only from stage two, so one can only guess how much bigger it will get!

Also don't forget to check out all the great MOCs posted to our Castle MOC forum every day! Be sure to share your MOCs, too; we'd love to see them!

New Gaming Admin
CC Team 15 IV 04

The Classic Castle admins have seen a need for an additional Gaming admin. We approached Nathan Wells for this position and are happy to announce that he has accepted it. Nathan has been extremely active with running the CC Roleplay and its webpage. Our goal is to encorporate these pages into the Gaming section in the near future.

Andrew, one of the existing Gaming admins, has decided to resign his position because of entering a dark age.


En-Garde!
Anthony 14 IV 04

This week's picture caption is Classic-Castle's own Lenny Hoffman posing with a MOC sword. Don't think we we hold any grudges against him, let's just hope he doesn't hold one against us for this.
