Cool! I'll have to borrow some designs, I definitely will need some red
creations soon <hint hint>...

You will NEED some red creations?

The second point are the castle walls.  I think that when used spaced out
they can be pretty effective to conserve bricks.

Definitely! They look excellent, so long as they're not used on ground level,
AND sparingly on others.

What's wrong with ground level?  ;)

I am not sure how well gray
with gray looks,

You mean grey with red, right?

No no ... Grey with grey - to try to make them invisible.  Grey with red
looks like Dan's Bloodstone Lodge:

Personally, I was thinking along the lines of the good referee philosophy.
It's only a good referee when you really don't notice him or her.  The walls
can be really good
if you don't notice them.  Hence the grey with grey.  Again - they can  be
used to save on bricks (which tend to be expensive in grey, no?)

but red and black looks a little weird at first.  After I
slept on it it didn't look half bad though.

Didn't look at all bad to me ;-)

Thanks.

I'm in for five more weeks of heck,

Good luck! I've just had my week of that... now third term is over, finally...

Let me know what you think ... Gray will always rule castles in European
style building (I think), but red (clay, vulcano, blue (water), white
(marble, ivory), yellow (sand ... ?) can still make some pretty nice castles.

Hmm... I'm not sure grey will always rule. There seems to be a (still small)
trend of moving a bit away from grey - just a little, but it's growing... I
think combos of grey/black with colors is a great way to go to give a building
some personality!

For sure.  Those little red and blue lines that Dave n' Eric (Lugnet Sitcom
idea ... ?  Dave n' Eric's World.  j/k) used really add an artistic touch to
their creations.

(...) I was sort of bummed after I saw their stuff too. (It's like, if you live in a cold place, and go visit florida, then going back to the snow is even worse... :) After seeing those cool things that used NO castle-wall pieces, I couldn't bear (...) (24 years ago, 26-Mar-00, to lugnet.castle)
