Have added a walkway and made the battlements thinner but it is too 
fiddly doing such fine details.  Anyway I had a go.  I think it looks 
better without.

Here's a knight for the castle :

             ,;~;,  
                /\_  
               (  /   
               (()      //)
               | \\  ,,;;'\           Philip Powell
           __ _(  )m=(((((((((((((================--------

         //         ||
