(...) Thanks Wilson. I'm such a perfectionist, I had to have it all just right.

(...) thanks! (...) Yeah, point taken. I don't much like the Gungans either, but I have a ton of em and wanted to use them for something, and this made sense. As for the FK shields, I really like em.

(...) really well with the microfig medieval town Shiri did a while back. The tile door adds a lot; perhaps you could fit in a 1x3 arch for that curved look, or even use a 2x4 arch with 2 seperate 1x2 grill tiles for that portcullis look? A. Mark (...)
