Thanks for the great Tutorial post Recluce!
I will have to try this out once I have some of these bricks - I really like the advanced tutorial about the switch. I can see this as being a very usefull tool for fireplace glow, stained glass and lamps - cool stuff
Bert.

Wonderful discussion. I believe that anything that appeals to you and can be used to represent your vision of Castle is castle. I would not bring guns and cars and hi tech into it but many good fantasy stories add these elements with a coherent story line that could be appropriate. When I am playing...

I prefer the look of the 6086 Black Knight's Castle (or Dungeon Master's Castle) over the 6090 Royal Knight's Castle. I also like the variety of figs. I can picture putting 4 6086's together into a formidable keep. Grouping 6090's would be much more open. I can picture 6090 for a great keep by the s...

Just added an idea for a river boat I have been working on for a little while. - Any comments or constructive criticisms are welcome. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/bannear/RiverSerpent/thumb/riverserpent2.jpg_thumb.jpg Gallery when mod'd http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=160156 Bes...

Thanks for the comments Josh. I wanted to see if I could pull off the concept within the contest constraints. I went for a crowded look because without all the people it seemed quite stark. Perhaps using the white bricks caused that. I like it better this way, but admit you would have to have the ro...

Hello Josh & Rosh.Gonff, Thanks for the comments. I do agree that the tree is a very palmish, but hoped by adding so many leaves it would break out of the standard palm concept and be more "pine-ish". I couldn't figure a nice way to add snow to make it more like a pine. Perhaps I shoul...

Hello All, I just added one of my MOCs to the Castle Room entries. Please let me know what you think. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/bannear/AudiencewiththeKing/thumb/audience2.jpg_thumb.jpg Here is the small contest Gallery when mod'd. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=159608 Cheer...

Hello All. Best of the Season to you all. Here is a MOC made for the Feast of Stephen, which you all know the tale (I am assuming you know the Christmas Carol). Let me know what you think. Any constructive comments/criticisms appreciated. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/bannear/Wenceslas/thumb/wen...

Hi Bruce,
You've been PM'd
Bert

Yes, and there are templates available on the Minifig Customization Network. They are probably here on CC somewhere as well, I'm just not as familiar with the site to know where. Would be pretty cool to have matching decals for the head armor as well. Thanks for the tip, I have been working with so...

I really like these.
The barding is most impressive and I will probably use it on some Lion Knight cavalry. I have a few knights that could use some new armour as well. Has anyone ever tried a sticker for the head barding for horses?
Bert.

Great review. Thanks for sharing with such great pics and commentary. I am really interested in the cockpit and bottom pieces for a boat idea - this one jumped into mind immediately (thanks for reinforcing the idea Alan). It is a similar piece to the one I used in my Elven boat . http://www.brickshe...

I am very impressed by this piece. The photography is excellent, but so is the building detail. Simple elements are used to add to the authenticity, like the chains hanging from the back of the cab. Thanks for sharing.
Bert.

Hi All, Just thought I would share a the joy of a great find. :D I went to local thrift store and saw some bags of Lego - can't pass it up, so bought all 16 bags. Inside were some piece from 375 Castle! 8) In great shape. I replaced the vests on 8 of the knights with them. and added two correct swor...
