By the way - how many Droid Escape sets did you have to purchase to pull this one off? This is one expensive set :) I (...) (24 years ago, 4-Apr-01, to lugnet.castle)

There are several plane and train windows in this moc, but the 1x1 are just standard 1x1 black headlight bricks reversed. I did it on my Lofty Ridge model for the top (...)

You build a few houses and put a lot of resources into them, and then you are stuck and start trying to build stuff out of very standard elements :) (...) (24 years ago, 4-Apr-01, to lugnet.castle)

I wish that there was a way to actually attach them via a Lego means, but I took a short-cut and used a little of the wonderful poster tack (yellow gunk) and stuck it on the backs of the Lego bricks!

I wonder how noticeable it would look with 1x1 or 1x2 columns of bricks spaced between the 1/4 thinwalls on the tower-- that'd at least give a good starting point for the window... not sure about how to do the door though... and of course the (...)
