Wooden Fort

[WesternOutlaw]

Just came across this beautiful wooden fort on Maj.com. It appears to be a wooden castle. Something like this would make a great Forestman Fortress. I'm admiring the SNOT techniques used as well as the overall look of the structure. Very nice.

Looks very nice. This is another CCC4 entry from that snot-loving Mocer who made that Viking Attack Scene with the brick-built sail that the pirates are raving about over there in Forum 68. I really like how the he built the wood planks on a 90 degree angle, not the most original idea, but very well executed.

Oooh, veery nice. I like those SNOTty walls, and the flag. Those cables holding up the roofs looks interesting.

Interesting design to have the strings. I'm not sure that I've seen this technique used before on roofs.

I don't like the horizontal use of the wooden walls because it reminds me of corrugated iron or a garage door.

I like them a lot. They remind me of a log cabin. This method would work well for WW and Vikings.

Thanks for the reframe Brickster, I can now fully appreciate this MOC!

I love the double axe over the door idea! *wub*

The flag(s) is nicely designed as well.

Hmm, this caught my eye on brickshelf a while back. I respectfully disagree with the Brickster that this would make a good

I don't like the burnt orange corners much at all. Other than that, its a great creation.

Steve, who wonders why Lego didn't make the log bricks horizontal rather than vertical (hope you're listening Lego, lets make some new molds for these, rather than crappy zwords)

Good point Steve. I always wondered this myself, esp. with the WW sets.

Nice find! I've always thought the vertical logs suited castle better (motte and baily, tudor frame, etc) and this horizontal log pattern was the western look. This MOC attempts to prove me wrong... ;-)
