Currently still on my wishlist, the 1986 Black Falcon's Fortress is one of those sets that was re-released for a reason: it's simple but epic. Therefore, I built a small castle for these cool and mysterious guys that surely would make them feel right at home.
Overview shot of the fortress, located on a small peninsula.
Two guards stand.. well.. guard, at the main gate as a patrol party returns to the castle. For one of the guards, this means relief from his duty and off to dinner!
The courtyard has stables for some horses and a walkway along the battlements accesible via a door in the keep.
There's also a trap door with a staircase underneath...
..that leads to a hidden door at the rear of the castle where one could moor a small boat.
The rear of the castle with de hidden door clearly visible (heh )
The keep opens up, as a play feature..
..as does the roof of the armory
I'm really happy with the composition of the castle, it's really compact and I find it visually pleasing.

On behalf of the Black Falcons, thanks for viewing, and don't tell anyone about the hidden passageway!
