Wow, I dont know what to say exactly but the words "awsome" and "interesting" definitely come to mind. The water is beautiful (and expensive looking :P ), and the walls are so detailed that I have a hard time seeing a bare patch. I think it's interesting that you did a fort segment that doesen't contain any entraces/exits to the fort.Besides that, the figs and fig placement are just awsome, and I like your above window canopies made out of green doors. Cool stuff, and an excellent swan song.

I like the water as well, and this fort reminds me of the Spanish forts in some of the capital cities in Central and South America. Nice Job.

Despise learning and make everyone pay for your ignorance.

The water that floats a ship is the same that sinks it.

Nicely done. In the thumbnails it actually looks quite busy and a bit unsightly but when you zoom in and look at the build in all of its glory it really is quite impressive. I really like the swashbuckler who is hanging onto the crate that is being raised by crane. I would suggest placing a boat below though as it seems a bit odd to have a crane raising/lowering cargo without a vessel to raise it from. The doors as overhangs above the windows are also quite nice and add a nice bit of colour to your work.

A quick question; is there a particular reason the one guard is falling off the wall? In any case, this is a really nice build. Good luck in your schooling!

Elbadar - Thanks! Glad you like it!

Tower of Iron Will - Well that's good, since those forts are what it is modeled again (not exact, but basic look).

Blueandwhite - The thumbnail does look a bit busy... but I worked hard to try to make sure that it wasn't too busy in person. About the ship.... yeah, but I was lazy and didn't feel like trying to make something for there... And there is no real reason for the guy falling off... just a bit o' fun. Glad you like it, and thanks!

Nice looking fort! I don't think I have ever seen walls like that before, pretty cool design. The floor on top of the fort is really cool, that's a lot of tiles.I like your cannon and window shutters too. Sorry to hear you won't be posting any more MOCs for awhile. Keep on building.
