(...) Thanks - the price of the white 1x1s really went down with the introduction of the Lego Mosaic. Now we just need bulk plates at S@H and we are set :) -- Pawel (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)

(...) 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)

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)

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)
