Preparing for War 12 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr ------------------------------------------------ A build that I have had in the works for what seems like forever! Finally got around to posting. Sorry for the slightly unedited photos. My laptop has been overheating so I can't do any graphic intensive work on it at the moment. It consists of 6 32x32 base plates for a stud count of 6,144. The storehouse is to be licensed as a medium commerce and the blockhouse as a small residence for Spudkirk. C&C are welcome and appreciated and thanks for looking!

That building went through several phases before coming out like that. I'm glad the end result turned out! 9 hours ago, Thomas Waagenaar said: Woah, that's impressive!
