Keep in mind that The Ninjada Gatehouse is only a 3 tier donjon... the
Imperial palace will be a 5 tier...potentially 12-16 inches taller than the
gatehouse and 50% wider...lol

Well I had a hard time deciding whether I would include the BURP foundation
in my measurements initially...the foundation was originally 4 BURPS tall so
that shpis and small boats could pass under the bridge on the waterway
below.. but this lead to instability and access problems during
construction, not to mention requiring a large and very tallcauseway leading
to the gate...I scaled down my ambitions after realizing the bridge to the
fortress would consume more pieces than most fortresses.
I decided to lop off a couple of BURP layers to make the facade more
proportional. I will have to beak out the Yard stick and get an accurate
height now = )
On a similar note, I am beginning to "catch the mech bug" after discovering
some great hinges in a recent acquisition. I look forward to seeing your
completed mech warrior...My Ninja fortress will also figure prominently in
my other theme creations...eventually serving as a Prate Stonghold and a
mech base space port in the distant future...You know Godzilla size mechs
battling in a congested city...
