This is a great idea. I will try and make a few for the NWBrickCon 2005. I think it would be great to make up half a dozen and have a tournament - now how do you hop up a wind up motor?

Cheers.

I didn't know they were rare either. Must just be rare in castle collections. I have a bunch because I bought racer sets for their heads. Some actually have heads that are good for castle stuff.

Well there aren't many castle sets as good as this:

I have an odd question that I've been thinking about for a while. I see all these MOCs with nice white backgrounds that don't have any sharp corners or horrible glare. What's the right setup for this?

Oh, and very nice MOCs, LEGO should've done that in the joust set...

Bloody Jay: Here's a shot of the photo set up I use. I added some descriptions so that you can duplicate it. I paid $10 for both of my lamps and $4 for light bulbs. The biggest problem most people have (including me) is keeping a photo area clean. Usually I have to push aside loose LEGO so that I can get a clean shot.

Hope that helps, and thanks for the comments.

Ohhhhhh, they bend the paper! Ok, that helps a lot, thanks. Now all I have to do is find a piece of paper big enough...
