Hi everyone, My first new castle moc in a long time is my City Gate. It features a stone base with two large doors. The doors can be secured by an iron chain. A stair in the stone base leads to the tudor second floor. The stair landing has a window (...) (21 years ago, 7-Oct-03, to lugnet.castle)

The guardhouse is, well, how can I say, quaint and cozy (...) (21 years ago, 7-Oct-03, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

(...) Thanks. I am glad that you like it. (...) I tried to make the base fit in with other castle walls (...) Thanks again. I have been trying to add more interior details and try a few unique things. I enjoyed making the cart and figs too :) Ben (21 years ago, 7-Oct-03, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

I like it a lot! Very simple (but not plain) and very practical. I would like to see it in the context of some more buildings. -- Pawel (21 years ago, 7-Oct-03, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Thanks Pawel. I probably will not get time to photograph it by other medieval tudor sets, since I do not have any built right now and I am slightly busy. But the walls are the same height as the cc standard. So it should be similar to the (...) (21 years ago, 7-Oct-03, to lugnet.castle)

(...) I'm with Lenny. Also I just like Tan. It really works for me. Also that crofter's cart is really spiffy. How sturdy is it? (21 years ago, 7-Oct-03, to lugnet.castle)

(...) I agree. The tan works really well for the timber frame. Light yellow would probably look good too. (...) Thanks. The cart is very sturdy. The ladders are on clip hinges - so you can adjust the cart profile. The only weak point is the (...) (21 years ago, 7-Oct-03, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Thanks Lenny! My moc's tend to have a lot of order, which is not always a good thing with medieval buildings. I think that having many details offsets this. I am glad that you like the details. They were fun to do. Especially the mirror. Ben (21 years ago, 7-Oct-03, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Thanks. I was trying to create something that fits in with the new standard. I wanted this to be a slightly smaller moc like Jon Furman's creations. In that way it is a good combination that links new and old. I am happy that you like the gate (...) (21 years ago, 9-Oct-03, to lugnet.castle)
