Random musings...

I can tell you have been buying up 3053s...lol
(Man, the more I think about it, I wish there was a tan, blue, and Dark Gray
version of an FNF!)

I like the roof design...very authentic looking fascade. I really like those
3x3 corner slopes in blue...useful and pleasing to the eye.

I spent a while on the roof, looking at pictures of various structures
before I came up with something I liked.


Good proportions and integration of windows.  (I seem to have problems
adding windws and keeping proportions appealing)

The Gatehouse reminds me of the virtual tour of Himenji.
(there were a couple different guard houses/gates with a similar appearance.

I like the way you used the fish piece combined with the space control panel
on either side of your roof.

What's the Brown Chain for?

The pic is not very good, but it is used to open the "trap door" between
floors.  I remember some things like this from visiting Nagoya castle
but I cant remember whether there was a handle or a chain used to open
it from above.


Are you going to expand this MOC to fortress or scrap it and build something
different?

I thought about expanding this one, but I think I'll strip it down and
build up based on the idea of this one.  Until we move to a bigger place
I won't have room for a full fortress.  When I think about that, I
really with we lived in the USA where space is cheap.

Can't wait to see more...
