Dear All, I hit on an idea to build CAD model of Royal Knight's Castle from set 6090. In certain moment I found that one part from this set has been never created, so I decided to create it myself. It is a part 6055 named "Castle Wall 6 x 6 x 6 (...) (21 years ago, 7-Jul-03, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
