Yeah, maybe we should have added slopes to the trees, but we felt it looked a
little more natural without them, after all most trees aren't smooth. As for the
bridges, I don't think we had enough grey tiles to cover even one bridge with
them.

Yeah, the griffin heads were a borrowed design from Onishi Shinji. After they
were added, we decided that the keep should be home to the Black Falcons, and it
went from there.

The co-builder would be I, Anthony's fiancee. I have been mentioned in previous
posts now and again, but never contributed to anything Anthony has built quite
as much as I did this time. Though, as you will see here, I did contribite to
the LEGO Roadshow in Dallas.

In the past, I furnished the Dwarven Castle as well as built many of the rooms
that Anthony used to take pictures for his stories (Manly in Book One I
believe).
We started with the dungeon, which we built together. From there, we built up
the terrain around the keep, Anthony taking half and me taking the other while
we worked by ourselves to meet in the middle. I will let you guess which side I
ended up building. Work progressed well minus minor misunderstandings concerning
certain ideas. Anthony then built the rest of the keep solo and I furnished it
later on, then finishing off by adding green bricks and foliage on the terrain.
Thanks for your post.
