Built for the large miscellaneous category of the 14th Colossal Castle Contest. The scene was inspired by this image: [url]http://img03.deviantart.net/4e75/i/2011/183 ... 26uzi9.jpg[/url].
It took about 2 weeks to build, and weighs 24.8 pounds, making it my largest solo build ever. Setting up the buildings layout and connecting them via bridges was the most challenging part, though the rockwork was most time consuming to build.
Qasr Albahr is a large trade citadel in the Spice Islands of Kaliphlin. It serves as a hub of the trade between the islands and mainland Kaliphlin. Its climbing bridges and ornate walls are well known throughout Historica.

Awesome John! As I said on Brickbuilt, I love the bridges, and the rockwork is great too! Keep it up!

Re: CCC XIV: Qasr Albahr
I think that my favorite aspect of this MOC, is how immersive it is. It's easy to imagine this as part of a much larger complex
Really a beautiful creation.

As I said on EB: this is just stunning.
As I didn't say on EB: it might very well be my new favoured from you.
Keep up the good work!

Re: CCC XIV: Qasr Albahr
already said everywhere else, but I must repeat: I'm speechless. I love the whole architecture throughout, in awesome Kali style. The rockwork is great and those bridges are much more stylish than the ones in the image that inspired you. Oh and the size adds to all this, indeed.
