Body: <p>I've seen some rather impressive castle builds over the years, and with the release of Helm's Deep I'm clearly going to be building a few myself now.</p>
  
  <p>As this set uses the LEGO sticker sheet to add some detail to otherwise flat walls, I'd like to modify these builds to include some better "brick based" details - but I'm not sure where to start.</p>
  
  <p>Ideally I'd like to create some additional depth, and perhaps add some vines or ivy up the walls, that sort of thing.</p>
  
  <p>Unlike <a href="https://bricks.stackexchange.com/q/693/56">previous questions</a> I have a fair selection of bricks, including various SNOT elements.</p>

  Classic-Castle.com has a guide for making castle walls more [visually appealing](http://www.classic-castle.com/howto/articles/biggraywall.html). Key points:
  
  * Different colours, shades and textures of bricks add subtle imperfections.
  * Break up the monotony with windows, doors, arrow slits, balconies and other structural features.
  * Use timber (brown/tan) as well as stone (grey) bricks and try out adding different materials.

  I don't build castles in general. But I do build Churches. For me I go very simple when it comes to breaking up the walls. I use an extreme amount of windows. Other shades of bricks. Often will use another color to add details or designs.
