(...) Stone or wood both work. (...) Stone would most likely be open. Without linear structural supports (beams) it would need to have a fair number of arches and footings depending on its length. Wooden could be covered or not. Stamford Bridge was (...) (25 years ago, 27-Jan-00, to lugnet.castle)

I was thinking about this too ... it's ripe for some beautiful creativity. Two types of mills I can think of: 1) Wind-Powered Mill 2) Water-Powered Mill The first can be your standard Don-Quixote type, shaped more or less like a lighthouse with the (...) (25 years ago, 27-Jan-00, to lugnet.castle)

Speaking of mills. I have discovered another use for those brown wing pieces in the Star Wars Droid Fighter Sets. Windmill blades. The cool thing is that on a good, freely spinning hub/axle they actually work. When you blow on them the blades spin. (...) (25 years ago, 27-Jan-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) The LB in Lake Havasau, AZ was actually built in the 1700s, a bit late for medieval era. The medieval London Bridge was made of wood, which personally boggles me as the Thames is a nice wide river. The stone bridge was built after the (...) (25 years ago, 27-Jan-00, to lugnet.castle)

Hi Eric, I don't know too much about lego bridges, but I have seen a couple of bridges in my (short) life ;-) I don't know if they were medieval or not, but heck, it's worth a shot... (They were all in Israel, maybe Crusaders era?) All of these (...) (25 years ago, 27-Jan-00, to lugnet.castle)
