| | | Hello everyone. I was playing with some parts the other day and came up with this idea for arrow slits. It is a little large, but I really love how they look. (URL) me know what you think. -Andy Lynch (URL) (23 years ago, 5-Feb-02, to lugnet.castle) !!

| | | | | Cool! I really need to play with this SNOT idea more, you can do some amazing things when you put your mind to it.

| | | | | Re: Arrow Slits —Magnus Lauglo
|
| | | | | Very attractive design! My favourite way of doing arrow slits is just doing straight vertical slits half a brick wide. This makes for a much harder window for an enemy to shoot through. You can do pairs of them easily by using a few of the 1 by 2 (...) (23 years ago, 5-Feb-02, to lugnet.castle)

| | | | | | | | Nice window on the church! (...) I understand what you mena (I think). The only problem is that the horisontal part of the slit would still be one brick wide.

| | | | | | An elegant solution -- no thick walls or SNOT required, just tiles and center-stud tiles. Plus, height is exactly 4 bricks. If a thick wall is used, more tiles and c-s tiles could be used to make unpaired slits. --Muze (...) plates (...) (23 years ago, 7-Feb-02, to lugnet.castle)
