Well, as some of you know, we had a "dry-run" for NELUG's upcoming castle
display at The Construction Site ( http://www.constructiontoys.com )... Here's

After the dry run, though, I decided I liked a lot of things about Eric K's
tower & wall sections better than my own, so I went back and on a whim,
completely rebuilt my gate... I like it a lot better than the last one I built,
but it could still use some work-- I really like the portcullis mechanism,
though! I just wish it were accessible 1 level below, rather than exposed on
the roof! Take a look:

(...) built, (...) way you've got it, with the walled town idea will work better than trying to capture the feel of a castle (and still having enough room for other things!). James (URL) I'm going to shamelessly steal that portcullis mechanism. :) (25 years ago, 28-Feb-00, to lugnet.castle)
