Thanks very much! That roof is heavy, heavier than the whole rest of the
building. Upside down v-things? White hinges two fingers on one side,
three fingers on the other.

The lower sides below the window arches? They are another silly Belville
part: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=30077 Funny little fence
piece.

Mother Mary and Jesus Christ, Shekina and Yahweh, Hera and Zeus, Moon and
Sun, insert Goddess and God of your choice as minifig statues. I've gotten
a lot more liberal in my views of Diety (not quite Hindu liberal - I can't
deal with the idea of thousands of gods), but I didn't feel like I was being
heretical in depicting a Goddess alongside of God. (Okay, enough
philosophy/theology!)
As for the actual minifigs, they're just plain old light gray and tan,
bought mostly as individual parts off of BrickLink.

Unmoderated? Please explain - this is the first time I've posted anything
to Brickshelf, and I have to say, it was not the most painless thing I've
ever done, invaluable service though it is.
The castle is built on 4 large gray baseplates, and yes, those are all 1x12
gray arches in a pinwheel pattern on top of 2x2 columns. I try really hard
not to think about the $$$ all of those wonderful people at Bricklink are
getting from me.
If I don't keep my bricks in bags and boxes, my cats, my son, and soon my
daughter too, would all be thieving my bricks away and I'd never see them
again! Mommy survival tactics! NO! Those are my bricks! I usually have a
baby-gate in the doorway, too. (The heat doesn't work right in the room if
I close the door.) That, and my husband gets cranky when my stuff starts
taking over his half of the office.
Off to pick up my boy from kindergarten,
Tanya
