My first Castle set and (I'm pretty sure) the first set of Lego that was actually mine rather than my brother's or sister's, was 383 Knight's Tournament. I remember that very clearly indeed, because it was just so brilliant. I never got the yellow castle, though. I once had the opportunity to have i...

A couple of new photos have been added to that Brickshelf folder, including some new games with new microfigs. The ones in Pirate Plank look particularly cute...

And when I say how long, I mean how many weeks. My guess is two and a half. Gosh, you're patient... :wink: Not sure I'll last that long. I'll look forward to seeing sirJacob's turtles, though, and all the other cool ideas imaginative people are bound to come up with. For myself I don't think I can ...

Looks great. I've always found it very difficult to make ships like this look properly medieval in their lines, but you've nailed it, I think. And the dockside buildings are neat, too.

Yep, that's great - I really like the architectural detailing too.

Really nice. I particularly liked the water effects.

I've also met a guy who refers to all bricks and plates by the number of studs on them. A 2 would be a 1x2, an 8 would be a 2x4, etc. Not sure how he differentiated between 1x4s and 2x2s, though. --Tony Sounds familiar. My sister would sometimes name them that way - where it was necessary to differ...

Every part of this works really well for me: the landscape, the tree, the castle. A new favourite of mine, and an inspiration.

Good call. One of the less absurd Fright Knights sets, and not a bad selection of parts. I'm not saying I want more than one of those heads, mind.

Well along with the lack of royalty, I don't see any magicians in this set either :P You can't have magicians without magic but I don't see why you can't have magic without magicians... :wink: This was a great set, and it's not just the nostalgia talking. I positively like the design - it's less gi...

Nice figs and plenty of weapons, which is always good. The gold slopes are a bit annoying, and don't even work well in the primary model, as they give the barrier a front and a back, which seems inappropriate. That's a quibble though, and the rest of the pieces are all useful.

I'd far rather have eight or ten standard dark green plates rather than a huge lump of plastic i'll never use. :roll: Agreed. And I find it's easier to fill in the empty (not sure I'd say boring...) space in the courtyard of a castle with other bits and pieces of detailing if the walls are built on...

Nice and solid-looking; I particularly like the keep with the turret-y thing on top as a way onto the battlements. The lack of overhang on the curtain wall doesn't look bad to me ( pace architect); it makes the towers stand out more if they have a different profile, especially in a relatively small ...

Nice and solid-looking; I particularly like the keep with the turret-y thing on top as a way onto the battlements. The lack of overhang on the curtain wall doesn't look bad to me; it makes the towers stand out more if they have a different profile, especially in a relatively small structure like this.

Lots of rank-and-file soldier figs, which was unusual for KKII, though with the lack of shields that persists (to a lesser extent) into the present. The wall looked a bit more impressive in real life than in the photos, and anyway there are enough pieces to construct something else; a couple of sets...
