Greetings, all. I just thought I would share a rather funny picture of my under-construction Citadel. I was building the "Central Citadel", the tower that would go in the center, and I neglected to measure to see how big it should be. Thus, the (...) (23 years ago, 9-Dec-01, to lugnet.castle)

Yup, that's a wee bit big! Man i wish I had piecs to build something that big, I'm still using castle wall pieces for my walls. BTW, I love the main curtain wall, it reminds me a lot of the castle Pawel took to Brickfest this summer. I couldn't (...) (23 years ago, 9-Dec-01, to lugnet.castle)

Nice Pawel, the pics remind me of the sheer size and bulk of your walls. Have you thought of creating machicolations (the hold to drop stuff on people at the base of the walls) in your battlements, since they stick out from the edge of the wall? (...) (23 years ago, 10-Dec-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Hmmm ... I haven't given that much thought yet. It's a good idea, but a little too late to implement on this castle. BTW - check out this site as a great reference guide: (URL) Pawel (23 years ago, 10-Dec-01, to lugnet.castle)

I've also encountered this problem a number of times . You stick a hording on one side and the entire thing looks wonky. I think they really need to be butted into a corner to work, and seeing as most of my castles end up being square, there is (...) (23 years ago, 11-Dec-01, to lugnet.castle)
