I dunno if it is quite as huge as some of the others castles out there (about 80 by 100 pegs), but I have a pretty big castle that I built over the summer right after Brickfest, and which I intend to improve when I get home over Xmas. I posted a few (...) (23 years ago, 10-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)
