Well, as some of you know, we had a "dry-run" for NELUG's upcoming castle

Kudos on the photography!  Any plans on making a landscape in front of the

Unbelievable!  The blue line is a sweet touch (fire and water?)  The
mechanism is well done and covered up, and the mix of tan elements is also very

in well with your bricks.  I guess an equilibrium can be reached between
using just bricks or just walls.  I will be exploring this very soon ...
