Captain Fortune Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 (edited) Hi! I present to you The Soldier's Fort 2.0. This MOC is in fact an alternate model from 6242 "Soldier's Fort". Let me explain some characteristics about it: - I always agreed with our friend and user in this forums Steve, who imagined a typical fort when he heared for a first time about the 6242. I really love that set but to be honest, it is not a fort, it is a harbor. I missed a defensive building for the Imperial Guards in the 2009-2010 wave. - As you can see, I maintained the structures from the original set, but I changed totally the design to create a closed fort. - I only used the original pieces from the original set. I only added some complements (minifigs and accessories) but the structure is 100% from the 6242. - I wanted to use the original little blue base plates to form a 26x24 surface for the reason above, but use one base plate if you have it, it will be more stable. - I completed the Fort with some minifigs and the sets 8396 Soldier's Arsenal, and 6239 Cannon Battle. - Try to add another cannon under the blue roof, you will have all your flanks covered! Thank you very much, I hope I have given some ideas for you! Edited June 16, 2014 by Captain Fortune Quote
ManInATopHat Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 Nice MOD! I really like how you're seamlessly incorporated the original set into this (much better looking) alternate model. Only one thing: Those walls might need to be a bit higher, we wouldn't want any bluecoat cannons getting into such a pretty fort! Quote
Matthias Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 (edited) It reminds me to 6263 Imperial Outpost, but in a current version. I don´t like 6263, but I do like your little fort a lot. I hope something like that will be available next year plus a Eldorado Fortress-style-set. Great work, thanks for posting. Edited June 17, 2014 by Matthias130182 Quote
Kolonialbeamter Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 Nice MOD, especially since you've only used parts of 6242 Like Matthias, it also reminds me of 6263, but I liked that set Looking forward to see something like this as a medium set for the next pirate wave. Good work, keep it up! Quote

You're right, I'll try but it won't be easy, don't forget that I only want to use the pieces from the set! Quote
