Pawel, I think you overstate things a bit. I am proud of my creation, and
hopefully it turns out as well as it looks in my mind. But there are a bunch
of people in this group who could probably put me to shame if given access to
the quantity of castle-related parts that I have accumulated over the years.
I've paid close attention to all pics that have been posted over the last few
months, including yours, and have taken many notes and ideas from everyone
elses creations. Hopefully none of you mind if I borrow some of the ideas I
like best.

They do help, that is for sure. But I am not sure how I feel about a castle
wall with as many windows as I use wall pieces. wish they would have made one
without the window cutout.

My main motivation to build a module-style castle was mobility. My last castle
was stuck in a basement on half of a ping-pong table, virtually immobile. All
the modules for my new castle will easily fit through a doorway. I agree with
you Pawel, it sure would be great to combine castle layouts/displays as well as
misc. inns, taverns, stables and terrain to build up a vast countryside. If
there is interest, it is possible that I could hose(I'm in Columbus, Ohio) such
an event at my church some weekend this summer, likely in mid-late July.
