Jim, You did an excellent job on this citadel. It has the combination
fortress/ceremonial/beauty that ancient buildings should have. I love the shape
of the citadel, the diamond. I love the stairs coming off, and the diagonal
corners, it's a fresh image to most of the square stuff out there(while alot of
it's great too ;) ) The garden and fountains are very well done, looks like a
place where all virtous minifigs can come, relax and read an interesting scroll.
It'd be nice to maybe see some benches around the fountains, to relax, but this
doesn't seem to be a place to come and relax but a kingly place for serious
buisness and all that, so people lounging around the garden wouldn't look
proper.
In picture 4, is that a dragon statue, or is it actually a dragon slurping up
water out of the bowl like a dog? :D Either way is great.
The main gate looks great, with the 2 ceremonial guards and the peddler
approaching with his cart and the two lion statues are awesome too.
The black on the sides of the walls make it look very ancienty like symbols of
their gods, or symbols of a leader, or a great battle, or an enemy.
The towers look like a great place for a king to look out over his kingdom and
have meetings with allies.
The architecture is great and the catwalks to the middle tower, nicely done.
How does the gate work, in one picture I see the peddler approaching with the
door sealed, and in the next one it's open, how does it open/close, does it
require the "magic hands" to come down and pluck it off, or could
it(hypothetically of course) be done by minifigs?
I would love to see closer pics on the big tower and the interiors, if possible.
You did a great job with this citadel. I can see it being surrounded by a city,
and then walls after it, it being the living place and the refuge in the case
the outer wall is breached, great job.

| (...) As I responded to George, Maelee and I wanted to try a lesser used shape for this design. We agree with you that there is alot of fantastic creations that are square, but it is always nice to try something new once in a while :) That is one of (...)
