I’ve been meaning to build an 18th century fort for over a year now. Finally got my life together and did it.
Read on for a walk through four days of building!
Day 1 and some color choices. Green under the blue? Easy and looks good too. How about light yellow for sand? Done! And am I crazy enough to go for slanting walls? I am.
Apparently if you slant the front wall you kind of have to slant the next wall. Fun fun fun.
Day 2 and more water, more slanted walls. But so far, so good.
Day 3 is the fun part, where the walls meet the system. The solution? Don’t attach the next layer. The problem? It moves around…
Day 4 brings us to the final result. And I finally put my brick separators to some use!
The LEGO savvy will wonder where I got the greencoat torsos. I made them myself… in GIMP.
Some of my builds are meant strictly for one angle. But this one is complete all the way around!
Yeah, I know, I’m always squeezing that cute rat into everything…
One last look from a new angle so you can get a fresh appreciation of the beautiful carrot colored roof.
More build logs? You bet:
