Howdy all .castle folk.  Now that Lugnet is running as usual again, it's time
to do something that's been absent for a few months.  At Shiri's behest, I'm
gonna take a survey.  My first one, so bear with me.  OK, let's get started,
shall we?

1.  What is your age?
2.  What castle subtheme do you like most?
3.  Are you a member of Castle World?  (if not, what are you waiting for?!)
4.  What's your favorite castle set? (both that you own and not)
5.  What's your favorite non-castle set?
6.  What was your first castle set?
7.  What % of your collection is from castle sets? (rough estimate)
8.  What's your favorite minifig (castle or otherwise; MOC)
9.  What's the largest/coolest/most intricate castle MOC you've ever built?
and...
10. Have you ever customized a figure for castle purposes? (other than just
   swapping arms and the like)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1- 27 in 13 more days... yay me...
2- Crusaders and Black Falcons
3- Yep, but it's taking me a rather long time to get my stories and models
together. =(
4- I really don't have a favorite, they're all so good. =)
5- See answer #4
6- Knights Procession way back in the day when I was a kid.
7- 50%
8- The basic Black Falcon guy, I suppose.
9- The coolest castle MOC I've built is more fantasy than historical.  I built
those mushroom houses that were at Brickfest and I'll be putting them into my
CW stories when I get the chance.  I've also built an airship that uses a lot
of technic parts, it was built for the fantasy CW world though, I really don't
know if it can be considered 'Castle'.
10- I haven't done anything too drastic to my castle minifigs, I'd be afraid I
would hurt them and they wouldn't forgive me. =)

Those mushroom houses were yours?  Wow!  Those were incredible!  I loved the
detail that you put into the interiors, and the touches on the outside, like
the small mushroom patch, and I think you also had a small pond or fountain
with a trans-dark blue plate for water...  Did you also do the house on
chicken legs?  That was also fantastic!

Were these Smurf houses?  That reminds me that when the Smurf show was on tv
in the 80s, my sister used my legos to build a smurf village for her little
blue figures, and her mushroom houses turned out really cool, too!  Do you have
any pics?

I've just put up a few pics of them at http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-
bin/gallery.cgi?f=896  but there are better pics at
http://www.giccs.georgetown.edu/%7Eboger/lego/pics/BrickFest00/index3.html and

Yep, that was mine too. =)  I built that the night before Brickfest and I was
really hurting for brown 1x1 cylinders, 1x2 and 1x4 brown 'log' bricks so I
had to run over to a friend's house and borrow a few. =)  I'm glad I have nice
friends. =)
