Quite so. In fact, it is one of the few pre-assembled parts from LEGO that I
see as "advantage only". Even when shipping!

I like the latter! :-P
Do you have any idea so far if you will be focusing more on the "civilian"
or "military" aspects of medieval life? It would be really cool to see a
common peasants' hamlet, for a change - all those knights really need
someone to feed them, right?

Actually, I never tried rendering castle stuff (I'm more a town/train fan
myself). But I think I understand what you mean... when you have a camera,
it is a lot easier to take snapshots and use them in a tale, for instance.
Renderings would look too "clean" to be true...
I'm looking forward to see what you come up with - send me an e-mail when
you finish the construction!
