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)

Great job Pawel! I love the edited picture, makes it look all that more real. After looking at the real ones though, and then looking back, the only thing I would suggest is maybe make it a little taller? maybe it's just how they look in the pics (...) (23 years ago, 10-Dec-01, to lugnet.castle)
