:) I know you guys got a bunch more "eye level" shots than I did-- can't wait
to see some of these...

Yeah, the more I look at it, the more I like it-- I have a feeling I'm going to
love the final result!

I like the new one a lot better than the old one I did, but I think it still
needs some changes-- One of the odd things about it is that there's only 2 of
the Leo's Knights flags! There are only two of them in all the new castle
sets-- both in 6091 (sigh, the big one) So I probably will go out and pick up
another one...

Yeah, there are a couple things I'd like to improve on, and I'm not sure how
many of them I'm going to do... I'm also a lot lower on bricks now (the new
tower took a chunk more than expected out of my grey) but I needed more service
packs anyway :)
