[MOC/MOD] Fort Legoredo "2.0"

[mouseketeer]

As a child, one of the best Lego sets I ever received was the classic Fort Legoredo set. When the Lone Ranger line came out a few years back, I loved the new designs and styles for the cowboy theme, but felt it was missing an up to date version of the classic cavalry fort. I decided a redesign of Fort Legoredo was in order, and set about designing this to incorporate new pieces, new colors (reddish brown palisade walls, and light and dark bley rockwork!), and improved design techniques. It has custom cacti, a vulture-watched cattle skeleton, a lightbrick in the fireplace, much more detailed roofs, joined up walkways along the battlements, and keeps all of the classic play features too - including the hidden gold beneath the rocks, the rifle cases, an of course the trapdoor chairs in the headquarters, dropping into the jail beneath!

Wow, great MOC! The roof is my favourite bit, those tiles look great. The old set looks very shabby compared to your version!
