Magnus, this is very nice!
Cool keep, considering it was built on a CRAPP (Crummy Ramp and Pit Plate)
plate. For some reason, the extra-tiny turrets feel so appropriate for this. The
way you made those arrow windows above the door is fascinating! The green floor
is well, a bit strange, but overall it's great!
Oh and BTW, what's that hinge you got near the door?\
Cheers,
Dean

Dean,
Thanks for your kind words. Funny, I have always liked that baseplate myself, it
gives the illusion of a castle being up on a hill of some sort, and I find it
tends to work with buildings of this size. I wanted something which would be
make for a compact but retty detailed keep, and the turrets just seem to fit
naturally into the corners.
Maybe I'll try make the floor a new colour, but the problem is that by adding a
plate to the floor, I get into al sorts of problems about doors not opening and
stuff. I'll see if I can look into that though...
That hinge thing close to the inner door on the wal is actually just to hold the
second floor in place when I lay that down. I haven't doen interiors yet, so it
didn't seem worth getting a pic of the second floor yet.
cheers
Magnus
