Fort Brimstone: An Imperial Soldier Base

[SirNadroj]

Ok, I finished this yesterday, but for some reason, I couldn't get on the site, so some of you may have already seen this on brickshelf. This is Fort Brimstone, an imperial soldier fort base on a small, rocky island. It houses my army. I used that brick technique to create a more 3-D effect for the patches of red bricks. There are 24 cannons (6 per side). I also gave it a little Spanish-Style roof, as you can tell. On the right is a strange rock formation (inspired by PoTC). There are many crabs around the island, palm trees with coconuts, and a small dock. There is also a prison for those nasty pirates. I've also added a few boats.

I think thats enough pictures :-D . You can also check this out on MOC Pages: http://mocpages.com/moc.php/34071

As always, thanks for looking, and comments are greatly appreciated!

Thanks Mr Tiber. I think I just fixed it. I think.

[ZCerberus]

Ohh-

I like the "Brick Technique" you used and the roof too.

High quality stronghold I say!

[Lt. Col. Thok]

Very nice! I like the way you did the brick imitation on the side. Altogether, a job well done.

[SirNadroj]

Thanks everyone!

[ZeekyBoogeyDoog]

Awesome *y* !! I *wub* this! I am particularly fond of how you rendered the printed design of peeling plaster and the exposed brickwork in 3D. The roof is fantastic, and I love the drummer!

Thanks! The drum/drumsticks are Fabuland pieces.

[SirNadroj]

Thanks Freddy LC!

[Asuka]

A beautiful fort, well designed and heavily armed. *y*

Those red bricks on the walls

[SirNadroj]

Thanks, Asuka, I appreciate it!

[Grand Moff Viceroy]

As always, I do love it. What are the red spots for? Anyway, very great work. I hope this isn't the last of good creations, the roof is my favorite part, it looks like the real thing, eh?

[SirNadroj]

Thanks. The red spots are patches of exposed brick, as if the fort is battle damaged. If you look at some older pirate sets, they made printed wall panels with exposed red brick patterns, so I wanted to create a more realistic effect.

[Grand Moff Viceroy]

Now it makes sense. The damage is convincing

[Fordo]

Yes, very excellent job on the damage of the walls and the roof, love the whole fort and the cannons great job.

[SirNadroj]

Thank you! :)

[Piranha]

Thank you kindly Piranha.

[Bonaparte]

I just love this fort! Really, I'm not exaggerating.

The overall look and all the scenery is great.

It all just looks right: the roof, the walls with the red parts, the arch next to the tower.

You clearly put a lot of effort in this MOCs!

Thanks. I did a lot of planning. Well, more planning than I usually do, like sketching, and a lot of bricklinking as well. :-D I'm not sure who is in charge of the indexs, but if you could add this to the land base MOC index, that'd be great! :)

Our Mr. Phred is in charge of the indexes.

I'm sure he won't forget to add this beauty.

[SirNadroj]

Ok, thanks!

All comments are greatly appreciated! :)

Really cool. The rock formation is neat. BTW where did you get a drum?

[SirNadroj]

Thanks. The drum a drumsticks are fabuland peices. I think they came with one of the monkeys, though I'm not sure which set they came with.
