Actually its not, when you think of the item being built is Half a
Gatehouse. You could break it up, but it doesn't really work for a
full-scale gatehouse for a castle.
The walls are 16 dots thick and filled with filler brick (various colors).
Trust me the project is enormous! It really does do better to have all the
pieces together, when building a structure of this magnitude. The height
will be around 60 bricks and takes 144 dots in width for the full gatehouse.
P.S. Just the logistics will hurt the brain, just to make sure bricks on the
upper levels will not conflict with arches, etc.
I think I may be insane, but that’s another matter. lol
