Alternate Model Review: Wolfpack Renegades
Ben E. 26 XI 06

Join the Classic Castle alternate model review discussion. Please post your opinions on the model play ability, piece selection, design, etc. Which models stand up to our catapult of critique and which ones crumble in shame!

This week’s set is 6038 Wolfpack Renegades.

Wolfpack Renegades was released in 1992 and has two alternate models. The first image features a corral and hand cart scene. This cart is similar to later sets including 1736 Wizard's Cart and 1463 Treasure Cart. A Wolfpack chariot is the second model. It is very similar to 1794 Dragon Master's Chariot which was released in 1994.

Stoneguard Hold
Bruce N. H. 7 XI 06

John Langrish, a LEGO builder from Victoria, B.C., is well known around the LEGOverse as J1A3L5. He's been building LEGO for as long as he remembers, and was inspired to move into castle building by all of the great creations he's found on CC, Brickshelf, and other sites. This past summer he was in England, and spent a lot of time checking out castles. Somehow that experience rolled around in his imagination and out popped Stoneguard Hold (Brickshelf, MOCpage, Flickr). This MOC was first revealed at NWBrickCon 2006, where its rounded walls, extensive SNOT, and essentially studless construction wowed the attendees, earning him the "NWBC06 Best Castle" award.

In addition to Classic-Castle, John also browses or posts on many of the other LEGO forums, such as Lugnet and Classic-Space. He is also a member of VicLUG. His LEGO creations can be found on Brickshelf, MOCpages, and now on Flickr.
