Okay, I know a lot of people are less that thrilled with Lego's foray into
software, but I have a copy of Castle Creator (my husband bought it for me
for Christmas, bless his misguided heart), and after messing around with it,
I find that some of the ideas aren't so bad.
Especially since I don't have any AFOL's around locally, I was looking for
some inspiration, and found that the builder part of the software has
modular towers (8x8 with 10x10 parapets), walls (all variations with and
with out windows 20 studs long), and some small buildings (the jail seems to
stand out in my memory right now).
The good part and the bad part of these designs is that they are actually
built out of individual e-bricks! I used up all of my small grey bricks
just to build one tower based on the computer model. I'm going to end up
buying thousands of bulk bricks, I can see that already.
Anyway, my point is that Lego knows how to put together castle walls out of
separate bricks, they just seem to ignore the fact that most of us don't
like POOPs! I feel that they add something to vary the texture of a
structure, but, they're a poor substitute for an equivelant handful of *bricks*!
Well, there's my two cents, a nickel, and three dimes,

| The type of theme you suggest is one I believe that all castle fanatics would drool over. Modular is the best way to go It's sure something that I wish TLG would return to. That's kinda what the original themes were like with the Crusaders and Black (...) (24 years ago, 6-Apr-01, to lugnet.castle)
