Thanks for your compliments Keith. We began the project with little plan and a
few tubs of bricks. When we started the only thing we knew is that we wanted a
wall and "stone" around the dungeon. The rest was almost random brick laying.
The water feature was an after-thought on my part that helped save on bricks.

Believe it or not, we did add some plates, but we didn't have many so it isn't
all that noticable. Many are in green on the higher elevations and blue in the
stream.

We might have added more trees if they hadn't been tied up in other things
Anthony has built for his story. As it is we raided some of those things to add
to this as much as we did.

The ability to pull apart the keep as well as seperate the floors will make
traveling with it easier (we hope) as well as any pictures Anthony may take if
he uses this keep in his story. No, it isn't an excape tunnel, its actually an
added feature (easter egg) that we thought up together to make that wall a
little more interesting, thought an excape tunnel would have been just as cool.
Thanks again for the praise.
