This structure is beautiful! I particularly love how it opens for playability.

That is a fun set, beautifully rendered. The colour choices are excellent.

Short, sweet, and to the point. Great playability, and the color is vibrant. Fantastic work!

Very nice, I love the color choice on the keep. I could stare at this all day, or at least a good part of it.

Excellent work, the playability of the whole thing is so downright amazing! This sure was a pure stroke of genius.

I love the colors! The building is so well made, and combined with the semi circular part of the wall, it works so perfectly. Great work!
