Oooh! So smooth! I like it a lot. One question though, how does the fig get from the wall to the hourd, and what was the point of it? (Okay, I guess it was 2 questions if you want to get all picky about it. :wink: )

Wow, lots of replies! :shock:

Thanks a lot!

Believe it or not, this wall and hourd (it was spelled that way in the book, so that's why I spell it that way) is really, really sturdy and there is no danger of tipping. I agree is not quite acurate, but my supply of brown tiles is limited so I stuck with a version that could easily be attached/detached from the wall. I have no idea how figs get into the hourd, maybe they have help from the Hand of God. I did keep the book, and yes it is very accurate, though the illustrations of the trebuchets were wimpy!

PS - that's not the Lone Falcon's brother; that's Wilbur, the Lone Falcon's cousin thrice removed! :wink:

Absolutly wonderful Nate! I love it! I think, though, it would look better if it were mounted in the middle of the wall. Try it, but it's just my opinion. I know i've seen it like that somewhere......oh yeah, on the opening to age of empires 2.....anyway, build on, honerabul ones!
