Nice MOC. I especially like the multiple levels. It suggests multiple lines of defense. I also like the way you incorporated a sloped roof into the castle design. That always makes it more interesting. I also like the way this is built on a spit of (...) (19 years ago, 3-Jul-05, to lugnet.build, lugnet.build.ancient, FTX)
