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!
