Hey all,
I know that this is not going to compare in any way with the "July Surprise"
news, but in it's honor, I'd like to announce the completion of my Crusader
Fortress.

I've tried to put several detail features in that would
make it appear to have been constructed during the time period.

I'd appreciate your feedback, so LMKWYT!  Jon

:-) Great pictures! it all looks so "real." This landscape is super. Crusaders'
colors are quite a contrast to their surroundings! I love the trees.

Detailing on this whole face is really nice-

I like this 'double flag' trick.
what type of pole is that? is it two light saber rods?

Second type of Lion Head columns, these with texture. also, flames of
varying heights-

I've never seen a castle made with tan bricks (on Lugnet),

First one I've seen, but I'm no expert. Sure looks different! The few gray
bricks mixed in add to the look of realism. The whole structure looks so heavy
and solid. I'd like to see more of this stuff.

Wish I had some helpful criticisms.. oh well.

This is the black pole piece that comes as part of the little guys noose in
the research glider.  in white, It is also the cavalry flag pole in the WW sets

That pic was shot on a whim, the last pic, it's one of my fave's!

Thanks Suz, considering the source, This type of compliment is especially
gratifying.  I love your Rhine Barge, and a long time ago, I "borrowed" your
women of the wild west.  My post to Bruce addresses my admiration for all
the Lugnet community, but if imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, My
wild west page has your Saloon Bar "Boot Rail" to thank for it's charm!  Jon
