Very impressive Michael. I love the immense size of it so far. I like the slight
terrain change in the interior, makes it that more realistic. You sure do have
alot of castle wall pieces.
I'm now finally working on a new castle, my first one one was about 48x64. This
new one should be approx. 96x148 with accompanying town/country side making for a
total of 192x288. The castle is about halfway done and I have 3 of the town
buildings done, kinda going back and forth building a little of each. I don't have
any new pics up yet, hopefully soon.
