The catapult is interesting, to say the least. I'll pretty sure that it would not throw far, but a least they designed it after something sorta historical. It wouldn't throw at all, tried it two days ago. However the idea is good and working, it's just that they probably went saving on pieces and d...

Oooooh yes!

Good thing is that I have decent number of them. Bad thing is that they are in a much poorer state than these. They seem to be in perfect condition, am I right?

Have it, and I must say it's nice. True, when walls fold there are gaps. But it's not such a big deal. You get decent number of figures, weapons etc and the walls and gates themselves look pleasant. The catapult looks ok to me, but it reall doesn't work. I assembled it just a few days ago, just to s...

Well since I'm a male I would appreciate a male name for shadow. :) Is the correct translation umbrus? No, no doesn't work that way. Word is umbra, and simply means shadow. In english there are no genders for nouns as far as I know, but in latin and many other modern languages there are. It doesn't...

Ok... I have a few ideas I want to bounce off you latin heads :) www.optimusumbra.net www.beneumbra.net www.theumbra.net All the 'nets' can be dot coms as well. Tell me what you think :wink: If you want to combine noun with an adjective, better use correct gender: optima umbra bona umbra etc -us is...

For me, "castle" would signify everything from yellow castle to KK2, not including KK2. As much as I saw it in catalogues and pictures, that thing is very much different (I won't say worse- ooops, I did :)) than the older line. Also, within the Castle line there are subdivisions. Proper ca...

Not that I saw many custom lego scenes, but this is awesome... The men on the battlements taking a drink of water, the stones being thrown down, the guys covering behind the shield wall, the cannon, the sappers... How dare you make something so detailed? :wink: A beautiful thing indeed.

The entire Total War series (Except for Viking Invasion, never got it). Modded Rome for months because vanilla was basically unplayable to me, and when I was done I lost interest. :D Age of Empires I and II (II is nothing fabulous but it was fun for a while) RPGs like Morrowind, Baldur's Gate I and ...

Thanks for all the answers. Took a look at the Bricklink, even found Guarded Inn. :) 99$ tough. :( Oh well. Yes, prices certainly DON'T go down with years. :D This thread should belong in the Buy/Sell/Trades forum so I will move it there. Yes, sorry, didn't see this forum. Welcome to the hobby! Hehe...

There you should find about everything you could ever want... Ebay can be useful too but less reliable...

EDIT: Welcome to CC!
Ok... that was fast. I'm amazed. :) Thank you very much.

How to come by old sets?

Hello guys Looking at some things on classic-castle "out of production" pages, I suddenly felt a great urge to make an unbelievably good looking castle. After 10 (ten) years of inactivity. :lol: Well, I did my best. :) So, I made something out of the parts I have (Black Monarch's Castle, K...
