Does anyone have an example of a round tower with the 1x1 cylinders and 1x2 bricks arranged in a circle design connected to a wall? I have the wall and the round tower, but don't know how to connect them.

I use hindge bricks to connect the round tower to square walls, just put the hindge where the 2x2 would be:

Other times I just don't connect them, cause if you take the pics right, you can't really tell. ;-)

And, my own question: Can somebody tell me how to link on this stupid forum! This doen't work <a href=ULR> </a>, I've already tried.

You can also just build the wall straight into the side of the round tower, but you'll have to use 1x1 rounds next to where the bricks go into the tower, to allow it to connect. Or just replace a column of 1x2s with corner bricks, and then build off that.

This tower uses good ol' 1x4 plate and brick hinges to achieve a 12-sided shape. It's fairly simple and easy to add things like arrow slits in the wall.

You can just put some bricks underneath four of the headlight bricks close to the bottom of the tower to attach it to the ground.
