(...) I was thinking along the same lines as you, when I first saw the Fort Legoredo set. Unfortunately, I only got one such set when it was available, and chose instead to use the brown elements to start building a castle village. I never finished (...) (23 years ago, 18-Dec-01, to lugnet.castle)

Yes, I remember studying Motte and Baileys at school, many, many years ago. It should be an interesting project for you. I will be interested in how you do the circular fortified walls usings brown log pieces. Richard. "James Stacey" (...) (23 years ago, 18-Dec-01, to lugnet.castle)
