Introductions

Post by Griffon »

Hello everybody, my name is Peter and my username here is Griffon.
I live in Friesland, the Netherlands and have, since very recently, got my old Castle LEGO from the attic :D.
I got to know there's a whole community behind it and i got enthausiastic again to make My Own Creations of Castle LEGO. I had already been active again building with LEGO but not with Castle.

My handicap is that i dont have many different colors to work with since i have Castle LEGO from the late 80's and early 90's so its mainly grey and black.

This is how i got it from the attic (i put it away in whole)

Welcome to the CC. Many of us are from this vintage of Castle as well so you have much company.

Happy building!

Hey, I noticed you also joined Lowlug recently :) good to see you on here as well. I've seen some of the Castle MOCs you've been working on over at the Lowlug forums, and I can't wait to see what you'll come up with next.

Handicap? You must be mad clearly, for having those as your main colours is (seeing as this is a castle site) a gift, not a curse. But don't worry, being mad will make you fit right in. Welcome to CC and enjoy all that we have to offer.

Welcome to CC, Griffon.*

You are really very lucky to have those old sets. And they look to be in quite good condition as well.

Welcome

Welcome aboard, Gryphon!

Wow -- in one of those pix I saw at least 3 pitchforks; I spent $4 USD to get just one of those recently for my Job Muller MOC. Lots of very nice vintage stuff there! Everything that I have that is that old is ... very well played with. :)
I like LEGO Stuff. I have a blog called [url=http://www.bricksabillion.com]BricksABillion[/url], a webcomic called [url=http://www.thebrickside.com]The Brick Side[/url], and I do some freelance artwork at [url=http://www.duckingham.com]Duckingham[/url]. And I am sad that there are only 24 hours in a day.
