LEGO(R) Castle Building Instructions Archive Project

Hello, welcome to my new sorting/archiving project.  Last year, as I was putting my old Castle sets together, I noticed that quite a few of my instructions were showing a lot of wear, to the point that some of them were literally falling apart.  In addition, there were sets that were missing their instructions altogether.  After several visits to Kevin Loch's Brickshelf site (http://www.brickshelf.com/), I was finally able to finish building all my old sets.  Brickshelf is a wonderful resource for instruction scans, but some of the scans leave a bit to be desired in terms of legibility.  I therefore decided to embark on this project: to make high-resolution scans of my existing instructions while most are still in decent shape, and put them on a cd-rom so I can use them with my laptop rather than using the original instructions (and accelerate their decay) every time I needed to reference them.  I scanned my instructions at 300 dpi and compressed the images as .jpg files.   I plan on burning them onto cd-rom when the set is complete.  Unfortunately, while I am just a few of the smaller sets from being castle-theme-complete, I don't have all the original instructions for the sets I own.  If you'd like to participate in my archiving project by providing, either on cd-rom or via a free-drive address, 300 dpi full-size scans of the instructions I don't have, I'd gladly make a cd copy of the whole instruction set for you--just send me an EMAIL so we can exchange addresses.  Please keep in mind, I am doing this project just to have a more convenient and safer method of referencing my instruction booklets.  I have no intention of making money from this (labor-intensive and time-consuming) project, so I will not sell copies of the disk(s). 

Here is a list of the instructions/box scans I need to finish this project:

• 0016 – Castle figures box

• 1286 – Kabaya Knights’ Kingdom Cart

• 1289 – Kabaya Knight’s Kingdom Catapult

• 1480 - “King’s Catapult”

• 1590 – Ghostly Hideout

• 1680 – “Crusader’s Cart”

• 1736 - Wizard’s Cart

• 1794 - “Dragon Master’s Axe Cart”

• 1804 - Crossbow Boat

• 1888 - “Black Knight’s Guardshack”

• 1917 – King’s Catapult

• 6002 – Legoland Castle Knights box

• 6008 - Royal King

• 6021 - Jousting Knights

• 6043 – Dragon Defender

• 6105 - Medieval Knights box

Here is a list of the instructions I've already digitized (marked as "XXXXX" or "BOX" for scanned box when no instructions are supplied). One last note about Ninja sets (and Harry Potter sets), I had to draw the line somewhere, so I do not plan to do this for these sets.
