I started a new thread since we're not really competing, and we should keep all the discussion of a single approach in its own thread.
So, here's my approach to an arrow loop in a one-stud-thick wall.

Yeap, that seems to solve the problem for me. Those dk grey wedges would be just too much-whereas the slopes, I mean, what does a castle do with most of them anyway?
Very impressive! I think I'll borrow that one too.

I've built a version of this in the Black Falcon colors. See the new last two images on the page.

Excellent!
Cool!
So, I think we all have designs for Arrow Slits for the base (2 + thick), the Middle (2 thick) and the upper levels. *laugh* Now, I expect to see some awesome MOCs from you all immediately which incorporate these designs! *laugh*
So, what is the next aspect of castle we are going to tackle? I've suggested Draw Bridges ... thoughts?

Wow, I really like those arrow slits, and I'd love to see some draw bridge action. I just never can get those right.

I am another who has failed to make a decent drawbridge. I have tried several times and failed in my mind all of those times. Part of my problem is a brick shortage. I have 100s of wall pieces, but my brick collection is not where I want it. Too many years of buying stock sets rather than buying brick. I know better now...

After a long absence, I have returned. I can't wait to start building again.

Arrow Loop
Very nice arrow loop!
You have made another thief
wlister: check the "Drawbridge Anyone" thread for my personal drawbridge. Sorry about ugly picture...
It took me days to find the right length to make the raising bars but i finally found one. When i have time ill make one in LDraw so everyone can see how it works.
