I am proud to announce the official release of the Classic Castle City
Standard developed at Brickfest 2003.

Just a quick response. I’ve been catching some rather interesting headlines in
.castle lately that I just haven’t had time to read through lately.
A few things I am thinking:
1. Lenny, the website is smooth, easy to read, and really gets the point across
in very little time. Nice job!
2. This is a great idea overall. I really like how with the few pictures on the
site I can already envision what a larger walled town would look like, with
smaller buildings crammed in together. A really ambitious idea would be to look
forward to a town with inner and outer walls, a growing medieval metropolis that
has an old centre surrounded by a bustling merchant neighborhood, and then maybe
even some buildings overflowing to beyond the walls -unprotected homes that only
the rabble can afford.
3. This could sway me to build more in Castle again. I do have a number of
green plates that I don’t need whilst building Moonbases and Spaceships. But
lordy! if you all keep coming up with such good ideas, I’m gonna need to rent a
large Ryder truck for BF ‘05.... :)
4. On the point that the coordinator of a display would have to ensure that
enough wall sections are being brought to surround the town, I disagree.
Instead, why not simply have a a couple of ruin or construction end-caps handy
(serving a similar purpose to endcaps in the Moonbase)? This way, if the wall
doesn’t come around and meet itself, a reasonable explanation would be apparent
in the display.
5. Can a wall builder incorporate wall junctions? For example, what if I wanted
to build a “T” section of wall that offered three connection points to other
walls? (This would serve my previous idea of inner and outer walls.) (Anyone
ever play the game Rampart?)
