Pity there wasn't room left over for a parapet on the front half of the left and right faces allowing the tower to project forward from the wall allowing flanking fire. None the less the final result should be both impressive and very functional.Ross Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.com
