This is a cool creation Josh. I really like the crocodile's head peeking above the water. But what piece did you use for the water?

This is very well done. The landscaping is awesome, and the fortification is solid. However, I couldn't help but notice the little drainage gap that allows the river to flow through; inspired by Helm's Deep, perhaps? :wink:

Wery nice! The wetland is well done, and the ninja wall pieces are very nice in this setting. Still, something was bugging me, and I finally figured it out: why (not to mention how) on earth did a guy build a castle in a swamp?

Good job and nice use of that baseplate! As soon as I saw it I recognized it, because I have one myself, but someone put a big, target-like sticker in the center :lol:

We can get in there. Aside from gliders, a bomb in that archway can open up the wall.
