Aaron, Thanks for the compliments. I decided to go with the bricks because I have always used the prefab walls in the past, and I was kind of feeling like my work was getting stale, I just started building and threw in some dark grey for effect, I (...) (23 years ago, 4-Jan-02, to lugnet.castle)

I'm looking forward to seeing this concept evolve. Ancient Rome has always fascinated me and the prospect of seeing the Colluseum, the armies of Carthage, and the debauchery of Ceasar are all quite appealing. Keep up the great work! -Dave (23 years ago, 5-Jan-02, to lugnet.castle)
