However, it will likely not be highly impact resistant. So there's always the possibility that if one stepped on it, or dropped a rock on it, or dropped the castle itself, that it could fracture. In that regard, it should be displayed and handled the same as any handmade custom, figure or otherwise. We will do some further tests with this material to get a crystal clear idea of its limitations.

thanks everyone.

**bishart** · October 24, 2011, 08:18pm

and some more!

who wants to see what's inside of that upper room??

**bishart** · October 24, 2011, 08:53pm

so as you can see there are 2 cutaway sections, one on each tower, the botom left rooms wall is not pictured, were working on it, haha. BUT the upstairs room is very special...

pose your figure inside, or remove the outer wall to see...

the weapons museum. ancient relics.

there is a place for all of them. they fit securely and safely.

can you keep them safe?

**AdultCollector** · October 24, 2011, 10:03pm

Another great batch of photos! A bit worried that those pieces holding the weapons will break off. Already wondering how much it would cost...you...to have someone professionally paint it.

WOW!!! That is the greatest custom Castle (Fortress of Power) I have ever layed eyes on. Ben, you two must be so proud and pleased to create a master work of art with this. Just fantastic craftsmanship and I completely love it. Thanks

**HORDE WEAVER** · October 25, 2011, 02:50pm

Wooooow!! Do you build houses?. Please make me one but without sorceress (my wife wouldn't want her there). Just joking my friends, you both Bens are amazing and as I said the first time I saw this thread: this is the best custom thing I ve ever seen.
