Very nice Mark! I haven't seen anyone else do hoardings before, and was
about to ask if anyone had done them. I think we must think very alike!
I was toying around with some hoarding designs over the weekend, trying to
come up with a nice looking design. I think the main problem is that the
hoardings themselves need to be at least 5 or 6 bricks high, so a minifig
can stand in them, but unless you have enough bricks to make the actual wall
very high (mine was 13 bricks high, including battlements), the hoardings
will look unnaturally big, compared to the walls. In my experience it is
easier and more parts economical to do machicolations, but I do quite like
the rather improvised "rough and ready" look to wooden hoardings, and since
I now have two Fort Legoredos, I think I have enough brown log bricks to put
hoardings on a significant section of the curtain wall of my castle.
