Thank you very much for your comments, I really appreciate that. I think
it still has some good play value, but the look is more important to me. (Like
mine has a back wall, cough cough) I like the drawbridge as well; I need to
make it a little longer, because my ship can just barely fit through. As far as
the dragon, I'll see what I have, as far as more pictures, I built, and took it
apart 8 to 10 months ago, so I can't take any new pictures. Point blank I love
Trebuchets that is half the reason I really like the movie "Timeline" lots of
Trebuchets. Working the raised base plate in (or more like just keeping it in)
when I expanded my castle, was not easy, and in the end probably not completely
worth it, they are hard to work with. Thanks also for the photo comments, I'll
see what I can do, I have a cheap digital camera, and my set up is in a loft
like room, so it is hard to work with at some times, but I really appreciate it.
Thanks
