That's actually what I call it - the Black Hawk Bird of Prey. (I prefer
Black Hawks to Black Falcons)

I finished the exterior on Xmas vacation, I do plan to complete the interior
asap. I have plans for stalls in the stables; bunks, mess hall, armory and
war room for the second level; the third level with the cells will be the
throne room and dungeon...the Warlord of Blakk is a sadistic sort; the
fourth level is where all supplies are kept and is already finished; and the
fifth level is for the main fortress defenses and is also finished. But,
yes, I have much planned for the interior.

All of the stairs are in the rear corner, as seen in this pic:

The first spiral staircase goes from the stable level to the barracks level.

Good question! No, there isn't. I wish I had put some, but it was hard
enough to assemble as it is. If I get brave I'll try to disassemble the base
and put one in.

That's why I developed it, I wanted something ominous and out of the
ordinary. Luckily I had just won the 2x2x3 slopes on an ebay auction.
Thanx very much for your kind words.
