Wow, thanks for all the compliments. The reception of this project by the
community has been great :)
As for inspiration...the Citadel idea started to form on the way home from
BrickFest 2002 which is when I presented the Temple of Shan-Ta-Ree:

Maelee and I had received some really great feedback on that creation about new
ideas and different directions to go, that on the way home we wrote down as many
as we could remember. Through the fall of last year, we went to
libraries/bookstores and did research on ancient structures.
So we gathered together all of these ideas and started designing the Citadel,
which started out as a Mayan temple structure, but as time went on it turned
into what you see. I prototyped each tower/structure several times until Maelee
and I were happy with the design. Then final construction began on Memorial
weekend of this year and was completed on thursday, August 7th.
The basic premise of this project was to create a structure that is not "Brick"
heavy. The walls of this entire structure are mostly made of plates with some
Brick to add support.
Thanks again,
Jim F.
