nomuse, I did a much simpler one in Bryce that was based on the Pagoda in the Japanese tea garden in San Francisco. I linked to several sites using the search word 'tea garden' for referance material. You might want to check out the similarities of the pagoda in S.F. to the castle you have done. I don't have much input as far as the construction is concerned, but posted because I thought you might be interested in checking out the Japanese tea Garden in San Farancisco. This looks very nice so far - I can't wait to see what it looks like all textured and detailed out. Your work on the roof so far looks exellent - I think this project will be large nomatter what you do, but your results will be well worth it I'm sure. Please post a render when you're done. - TJ
