Yes, the walls are plain gray, but I'm a bit of a traditionalist in that way.
We're not looking at some 600 year old pile of ruins, so why not make it look
like it was just built and whitewashed yesterday!?

I had the forsight to buy 200 of the old black 45 degree roof service packs from
S@H before they were discontinued. Yes, the spire on the roof top is in fact
from three Black Falcon's fortresses. Ideally, I would like to cap all of the
outer wall turrets in a similar fashion, but the cost involved...

I actually build custom kits and the inner keep will be the most limited of all
(only a single run of ten!). I don't want to wear out my welcome by posting
sales info innaproriately here, so either email me privately or check out the
"Bazaar" portion of my web site for info on what I do.
