Well done. Your castle has a really great look and feel to it, and your
attention to detail is fantastic.
I’m not really a fan of the curved walls, but it’s nothing you’ve done. I’m

over the towers. Have you tried adding some of the new 1x1 slopes in black to
cover the exposed studs?
I’m sorry I wasn’t able to see it in person.

It's also very parts intensive - On 4 of the towers, easy layer uses 10 1x2's and 10 1x1 (...) (18 years ago, 30-Oct-06, to lugnet.castle, FTX)
