Thus, from wall walk to the top the crenal should be four or five bricks, with embrassures at about two bricks. Crenels should be three or four studs wide[1]. (...)

| | | | | Thanks for the "nod." I think though that my walls are much too short, and a new standard should be devised. I'm hoping that work in this area will occur soon, and that this new standard will be propagated to other for maximum participation. Rich -- (...) (23 years ago, 23-May-02, to lugnet.castle)

| | | | | | I'm going to do some more work on the wall tonight. I'll probably make the wall itself shorter while making the battlements taller so as to provide more protection. I'll also try 4 stud crenials with 2 stud spacing to see how it looks. (i'm trying (...) (23 years ago, 23-May-02, to lugnet.castle)

| | | | Nice to see this thread coming back! I suggest a wall of around 13 brick height, including battlements. For example, a 3 brick high slope at the base on tope of which you can either have a 6 high wall section, or just build up with bricks. Top that (...) (23 years ago, 24-May-02, to lugnet.castle)

| | | | (...) Hi, I won a large lot of 2x2 round gray plates on e-bay the other day and it made a good cobble-stone road to use a bunch of these interspersed with gray, dark gray, and black 1x1 plates and round plates. I've got a picture of a 5-wide path (...) (23 years ago, 28-May-02, to lugnet.castle)

| | | | Mookie has done something similar using 2x2 round tiles and 1x1, 1x2 and 2x2 regular tiles. It looked really cool, but can get to be expensive to get the parts. The path with the round plates looks cool as well, and seems like it would be much more (...) (23 years ago, 28-May-02, to lugnet.castle)
