Modular fortress *new pics 5Apr 05*
Here is my latest large project;
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=105730
It is built CCC like, with technic bricks and pins, so that it can be taken apart for transportation. I only have 2 parts done shown here, the gatehouse and a corner tower with some wall.
A couple of details I want to point out is the machicolations on the gate house
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=1000492
and the murder holes between the portcullis and wooden doors
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=1000484
Questions and comments welcome.

Re: Modular fortress
Very good job, Troy! The wealth of architectural detail is enormous. I especially like the arrow loops in the guardroom. They are different than any I seen before. Keep it up, I can't wait to see the finished product!

Thank you all for your kind comments. Did you notice that there are bleys in the mix (all the capstones, some arches and bricks)? I decided to get over the colour change issue and bought 1000 bley pieces off of BL. It is more work building because I purposely tried to mix them in so there would not be big patches..... Another 1000, preferably 2 x 4's and it will be easier.

Ever notice how real life gets in the way...... I built a bit yesterday and finished it off for now. I have the interior of the keep to finish (some fiddlely bits on their way via Bricklink) so no pics of that. Plus real life stuff prevents me from uploading all pics at the moment. LMKWYT.

Very nice. I really like the way you put points on those bricks that come up off the wall. I don't know the correct name for that castle structure. This is what I am talking about:

Well, not much more to say after everyone else's post... but I wanted to give special props to the battlements... I know it's a simple detail, but they are kind of unique and add a really cool touch. Really great work!

Actual Machicolations & Murder holes!
Very cool!
The level of detail on your fortress is awesome!
Didn't really notice the bley bricks in there myself.
Excellent work!
