| Hmm, another thought for the latice... Are there any tubes the diameter of a stud? If so, you could use a latice fence with tubes stucking through. I think that might get the idea across pretty well. Frank (21 years ago, 11-Feb-04, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.general, lugnet.town)

| (...) That is a true point, castle stone is not something anybody in antiquity imported very much of. The labor and time needed to build from foreign stone would have made a military fortification moot. Often if it was a border dispute, they'd just (...) (21 years ago, 11-Feb-04, to lugnet.castle)

But if I stole it, I'd probably do it differently. Instead of using bricks stud on, I think I'd (...) (21 years ago, 11-Feb-04, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.general, lugnet.town, FTX)
