This is a fortified city gate I made for the medieval layout at the Parent-Child
Expo in Indianapolis. It sits on 2 baseplates, has a pair of large wooden doors
in the middle, has a tower on each side and has a walkway above the gate that
spans the distance between the towers.
If you think that you see some parts of the towers that have 3 plates
together to be a brick’s height, you’re right. I was running quite low on light
gray when I got to the final stages of the towers. (Right now the rest of my
gray is in a prison and a large Moonbase module.) Something odd about the
construction of the towers is that I built them from the tops down. I used
those crennelated ¼ turret top pieces on both towers. I built that part first,
then kept building “down” the tower. So actually the construction was all SNOT,
but then the final product had no SNOT at all.
The gate is not CCC compliant,
but it is made to fit along with other wall sections. Our LUG made a castle
wall standard that was just for the Expo where this was displayed. You may
notice that the walkway only has a door to one of the towers. Soldiers
defending the city can get into and out of both towers at their bases through
the doors. However, marauders who scale the wall above the gate and get onto
the walkway would be forced to go down just one tower to get into the city.
And I’m not really sure how the elephant made it out when the rider thing on his
back stands higher than the height of the gate’s opening:

| Hi David, Your fortified gate is very impressive. I like the size and massing. The doors have an excellent thickness and look very stout. Perhaps the elephant crouched down to get out :) Ben (20 years ago, 25-Mar-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)
