Hmmmm.>> I am not sure whether one can really judge that castle yet from the pictures taken across a building site. I guess it might also being something that looks better in person than on pictures. At least I hope so, I am not impressed by the pictures I have seen so far.

Possibly.

Originally Posted By davewasbaloo No, I mean it, I really do. The MK has nothing on the same scale as DLP in terms of quality detail. I think given your excitement over this, you would freak at the beauty of DLP.
