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.
|
It would be up to the individuals participating at the display oh how to deal
with walls that don’t complete. There could even be “in-process” walls, where
little minifigs are constructing/repairing the wall. Either way, someone would
need to make the decision - and that person would be the coordinator (or
whatever)

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?)

I’ve got no problem with this, except that it makes the resulting castle that
much more complicated. I used up almost all my wall pieces making the three
parts featured in the write-up. Furthermore, I’d suspect any inner walls would
be larger than the outer walls.
But it would be cool to connect them and then build wall pieces that rise up to
the larger wall. I’ve got no problem with doing this - to me, the point of the
standard is merely a starting point. Where people take this is up to them - and
what I *love* about CCC is that it can go anywhere!

| (...) The inner walls can be made just the same as the outer walls, using the same format. Just raise the height 4 to 6 bricks. I prefer not to use the castle wall sections on the outer walls anyway. But on the raised inner walls, would make sense. (...) (21 years ago, 26-Aug-03, to lugnet.castle, FTX)
