    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 (...) (22 years ago, 5-Feb-02, to lugnet.castle)

     (...) This is one of my favorite techniques as well. (...) Magnus: If you take a look at the window here: (URL) can see how it was built by using 1xn plates. (Look especially toward the top.) A similar technique using plates and/or tiles could be (...) (22 years ago, 5-Feb-02, to lugnet.castle)
    
         Re: Arrow Slits —Magnus Lauglo
     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.

        Re: Arrow Slits —Brian Muzas
   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 (...) (22 years ago, 7-Feb-02, to lugnet.castle)
