The walls are very stable, but I did use colors other than green to achieve
this. After I did the walls, I panelled the interior in Tan. This blocked
off the White left side window, so the that window is only a facade. The
green window however is in a room accessible on the left. It's structurally
solid, but that solidity cost me some functional playability. Thanks for
your compliments, I love your site! Jon

| Thats _REALLY_ great Jon. I love it. Loads of detail, loads of nice touches. If only I had that much green :) was it hard to maintain stability for the walls (or are they solidly solid) fantastic. Thanks for sharing -- James Stacey ---...--- (...) (22 years ago, 29-Jan-02, to lugnet.castle)
