I am proud to announce the official release of the Classic Castle City
Standard developed at Brickfest 2003.

The subject of standards and projects usually causes me annoyance: I tend to
think that standards can be too restrictive, and often end up being exclusive
rather than inclusive.
There are, of course exceptions, and this certainly seems to be one of them.
Congratulations on a standard which is, I think, flexible and inclusive. If it
fits into the castle wall then it’s okay... if it fits inside the wall then it’s
okay... and if it fits outside the wall then it’s okay.
Effectively the only limit on making wall sections is the end profile of the
wall, and where it intersects the edge of the 32x32 base plate.
At first, I thought that making the walls double sided was a waste, but then I
realised that the beauty of double siding is that they can be used on either
side (possibly with some minor cranelation changes). Not so much an issue for
straight walls, but very useful for other shapes.
This is great stuff - I look foward to seeing more! (And building a section or
two myself, perhaps.)
