|
| | | I'm not normally a castle person, but my son asked me to build a castle. So I thought I'd start with the outer walls (not sure what they are properly called).

I don't like the slopes at the bottom, though; I think it would be better to have the walls go right down into a wet moat. And the towers don't live up to their (...)
