This is my vision of a CWCS (Component Wall Castle System) applied to the Great Wall of China which I then call the Great Wall Component System (GWCS). The term CWCS was coined by Richard Schamus who has done a lot of CWCS for Euro castles on his web page. The GWCS I have pictured are 01_str - great wall straight 02_cur - great wall curved piece 03_Scur - great wall "S" curved piece 04_curtwr - great wall curved w tower 05_curtwrsl - great wall curved on slope 06_Llge - great wall "L" shape large 07_Lsml - great wall "L" shape small 08_slstr - great wall straight slope 09_slcur - great wall curved slope 10_mntwr - great wall mountain beacon tower 11_destwr - great wall desert tower 12_despc - great wall desert piece jadegate - great wall Jade Gate Fort (which is based on the real fort located in the Gobi desert.) Of course many other GWCS can be constructed Ttwr - great wall t-piece w tower twrend - great wall tower end piece Jcur - great wall curved j piece Note the pieces are constructed on standard green baseplate or the standard gray baseplate (gwfort) For the green baseplate I use the following stud spacing: 8 studs - spacing from edge 3 studs - dk gray corner 3x3x6 or dk gray brick 2 studs - 1x2 brick with hole in center 2 studs - spacing 2 studs - 2x2 brick with pin in center 3 studs - dk gray corner 3x3x6 or dk gray brick 12 studs - spacing from edge (see the std_end.jpg for the spacing I used) This way a GWCS component can be rotated 180 degrees and still fit but the green base plates will be offset by 4. The goal is to build a bunch of different GWCS then string them all together for a interesting looking Great Wall of China segment.
