Nice work Justin!

I like you portcullis, wall and windows. Inward sloping windows are not historically accurate for classic, medieval defensive castles. Inward sloping windows were widely used on fortified palaces and more ornamental castles of later periods. Can't remember the name, but there is a Scottish castle that uses inward slopes for the cannon openings. Not much worry about arrows when you are firing cannon I guess.
