CCC XX - Royal Drawbridge Revamp

[soccerkid6]

Built for the Return of the G.O.A.T. challenge. I chose to re-imagine set 6078 and had fun putting my own twist on the recognizable structure. My rendition features ladders or stairs to reach every area of the gatehouse, along with a functional drawbridge. The two hidden spaces under ramps at front and back are also there, though I added some barred gates under the front ramp so minifigures have access to that storage area. The rear one contains a hidden nook where some unfortunate soul seems to have been on the wrong end of a magical scroll.

Special thanks to Rolli for loaning me the original minifigures!

This is definitely what you call a 'not well known castle set'. Even though I grew up with staring at this and all the other Royal Knight sets in catalogs, it took me a moment to recognize it. Once I did, I realized what a great job you did in revamping it. My favorite aspect is the brickbuilt versions of the 3x3 corner wall with printing. It looks perfect to the original part!

Already commented on flickr, but great work on this revamp. Stone work is really nice.

Can't wait to see what the others will make for this category.
