Jon,
Unfortunately I will not be at the fest, but if joyce should have any grey
castle wall parts, especially corners with stone print on, can you get them
for me, provided they are not too expensive. I worked out I need another 172
to recreate the castle that was in Alan Kershaws book at the last fest. I have
started sorting and producing plans so will try to give it a go for a futire
fest.
Regards,
Jason
