Wow, I havn't posted a new moc in a long time, well here you go...
I'm taking a diverson from my normal style of building (a.k.a. total crud

), and building something nice for a change.
I give you, the guardhouse!
The images have been resized but they are still on the large side, so you have been warned.

Hey RS,

It looks nice. I especially like the way you did the roof. Why did you use a hinge plate here:

heeeyyyy - thats pretty cool. I like stuff built to CC standard, that incorporates the walls.
Very cool.

Although since it appears to go all the way through, wouldnt this be a sally port? or a small gatehouse?

Actually the reason I used a hinge plate was because I couldn't find a normal 2x2 red plate

And hey LF, havn't seen you in a while, and the wall dosn't actually go through the house, there is a downstairs, I just didn't take any pics of it because its not very intresting

Neat-o! This MOC has a very neat and tidy look to it. I really like that is is CCC compatible. I also like your approach to the roof; I haven't seen it done this way very often.

It's Beautifull. I like it. It looks even better in person though!

Castle-Tastic!

That is pretty cool. Nice way around using roof tiles. I like ways that don't require roof pieces because I don't have many.

That's really interesting, I don't know that I have seen anything quite like it for the CCC. I agree with everyone that the roof is probably the best part. You should post some pics of the downstairs just to let us see.

That's funny. Here I was thinking that maybe the roof flipped open but you had to hinge that part out of the way so the roof could swing past the chimney.

hehe actually it comes off just fine without the hinge plate, oh and as requested I have some first floor pics. I added a little detail downstairs to make it more intresting. I like how it came out.

Wonderful design. There is a charm that comes in smaller packages, in simplicity. This is a well planned and executed MOC. I don't like the W&D construction on fortifications for defensive reasons, but it is a compelling style is it not? This could be in one of those Kinkaid paintings. Good work and welcome back.
