These are the two solutions I'm most intersted in, but obviously they are the
hardest to get right. I've also been thinking of a dry moat, filled with stakes
perhaps, but this would possibly be even more parts intensive.
I've thought about using the raised baseplates somehow, if you put two of them
next to one another, you do get a 6 brick deep depression where they meet, which
could work as a moat, but it isn't that easy gettng the rest of the terrain to
look right.
Thanks for the pics.
