(...) I love castle walls, but I have to admit, I have a hard time utilizing them outside of one of TLG's designs- my building skills need honing. I so totally agree with the 1x1 and 1x3 bricks - light and dark grey, tan, and brown, if you please, (...) (23 years ago, 10-May-01, to lugnet.castle)

I think castle wall sections are great for a lot of reasons that are possibly being overlooked. Certainly you can build castles without them, but they really add a lot in terms of decor and detail. You can make a castle with windows, but I'm not (...) (23 years ago, 10-May-01, to lugnet.castle)
