Chris,
Now you got me intrigued. Who are the GoB folks ? Do they have a website ?
I might explore the possibility of a custom castle if people are interested
but I don't even know how to gauge interest ?
Also, to make the custom set reasonably priced. It would have to be more
like the first Japanese castle I built which is more like the Odawara castle
with 3 tiers but a double rock slope. Kumamoto-jo took the better part of
4 FNFs to build and some extra rock slope pieces plus more bulk white and
black and at 22 pounds, its quite a daunting custom set.
Finally, I like the white+ blue combo for castles e.g. Himeji which was
wood plastered over and painted white. I am working on a new super large
Himeji with a more realistic roof design but still in the planning stages.
