Fan-Brickin-Tastic!
I love the pics (Mavicas are great aren't they?)
A great integration of traditional Euro-Castle elements
and Ninja theme sets...I can't say enough.
I have to get off my couch and start building again...
You have incorporated many of the features I want in my
fortress...
The chains around the contest mat are a great idea!
I have been working on a garden, but I haven't been able to build anythin I
am happy with...I like yours alot. I thought I needed more trees...now I
know it = )
I see you converted the treasure transport into a liter
to...lol..your ornamentation and color scheme is
appealing...my 3 look like boxes by comparison.
I saw the same special and taped it (adding the PBS
Viking documentary too a few months later...great source material...
I see you have the same space limitations for building that I do...Heck I
lived in an aprtment very similar to yours 3 years ago...
Thanks for sharing your work..very inspiring (for me
anyway)....KK Quah will probably love this one = )
I liked the way you staggered the sloped wall segments
and gave it the landscape-contour look...after seeing
the panoramic shots in the Great Wall special...I wanted to try to do a long
wall that is built to fit a
mountainous terrain...something large that dwarfs
minfigs...lol
Gotta love those Ninja doors! Double height makes for
an intimidatndg presentation...that's why I made them
the focal point of my current project.
Are you dismantling this one too? or are yo going to continue to dd to it?
