Ninja Superfortress

I am currently working on building a "Superfortress" in the Ninja Theme. The design consists of a very large feudal fortress completely surrounded by an impenetrable wall. The image to the left is a tenative drawing of the final layout. You may move your mouse over parts of the image to reveal which portions of the fortress are completed. Clicking on the highlighted ares will take you to a page containing images of that structure.

The fortress spans a total of 96 x 144 studs. There is a 96 x 96 stud area enclosed by a the main wall. You can see the baseplate layout in the image which currently uses 12 green baseplates, and 5 blue baseplates, and 10 other baseplates.

The top of the image shows the site of the Imperial fortress. This structure, which is currently under construction, rests on the baseplate from 6276 Eldorado Fortress. A bridge (using pieces from 6089 Stone Tower Bridge will span the river.

The red building in the left is tentatively going to house the prison facility.

In the center of the enclosed grounds are two practice areas.

At the bottom of the image is the gatehouse. The gatehouse and adjoining guardhouse are the major defensive features of the main gate. On the right side north of the main wall is the stable barn.

You may click on any of the highlighted areas on the map or directly on the links above to go to those areas, view images, and learn more about the structures.

This page will change as more pictures are added.

The images below show wide-angle pictures of the superfortress. The front view shows the most latest incarnation of the gatehouse.

* Photos with asterisk show slightly older version of gatehouse. Current version pictured in the first image is taller and provides enough vertical gate clearance for a mounted soldier to pass beneath the gate.
