New MOC: Small Fortress
New MOC: Small Fortress
I have had this together for about a week, but just got around to taking some pics of it.

(The Brickshelf Folder isn't public yet, so you'll have to wait to see all the other pics)
There is a small Gate Tower which you reach by ladder, a small structure on the left side (just a little covered walkway with storage space in the "attic"), and the Barracks for the Troops is in the back.
Let me know what you think!
PS: Sorry about the bad pics.

Well, there is, but nothing really worth mentioning, which is why I didn't go to the trouble of making the outer wall hinge open. There are some some simple beds made of a 2x6 plate on top of two 1x2 bricks, and then a small ledge 3 studs wide above everything else for keeping various things, clothing maybe?
I really need to cut this out, I start bulding one thing, then stop for awhile, start something else, and then find out the parts that I need to make one thing are in the other, which is one reason I didn't make the interiors more detailed.

I think this is a very nice MOC. It seems almost to be almost Roman type architecture. I did have one question though. If it is a gate tower, then do you walk through the courtyard to the rest of the castle? Or is the Moc a small outpost on the edge of the empire?

Thanks again guys!
Jedi,
Yeah, it's more supposed to be a small outpost, I was thinking along the lines of a place to keep tabs on the happenings of the outlying regions if you know what I mean.
Mr. D,
Probably not, I was thinking of making it compatible with a larger structure, but just decided to go with the outpost/fortress idea.

Hi Charlie,
That is a pretty nice fortress. It shows really great potential. The contrast of Black and gray is a style I enjoy building in as well. I am not a big fan of BURPs, but they seem to fit with the sparse nature of the fortress. Thanks for sharing.

After a long absence, I have returned. I can't wait to start building again.
I must say that is a good idea, and a very nice realization of the concept. I like the way you used 2 x pieces in the walls to give it a little texture. Also the gray 1 x on the BURPs is a nice touch.Yeah, it's more supposed to be a small outpost, I was thinking along the lines of a place to keep tabs on the happenings of the outlying regions if you know what I mean
