Dave-
I would have made the gate house bigger, but found my piece supply exhausted.
(as well as my monetary one) Its on my to-do list :-)Its amaizing how asimple
thimg like stairs evaded my mind, thanks for pointing it out. I wanted to make
it so that the Black smith shop was openable from the outside, although I guess
there are ways of doing it the way you sugested. (and idea for further
exparimintation!!!)
Tajnks for Every ones comments, I really appreciate it!!!
Will, who has further plans for his castle.
