Fortress of power

[bishart]

hey guys, this got moved here to the customs section.

THE FORTRESS OF POWER!

well what do you guys think of this ? its actually called THE FORTRESS OF POWER, but it bears a slight resemblance to the castle.

this is all before its cast so, not the final product.

the tower walls are magnetically removable. so you can pose guys inside,a and put the walls back on, having them look out the windows.
and there will be a drawbridge with chains, turret gun, and flag.

thanks! glad you like it. alot of people had a hard time grasping what we were thinking with the wall cutouts, but we wanted to take the PLAY that peaople would miss from an OPENING fortress, and put it on the front. also opening up many many more areas to actually display figures, rather than just having a fortress as a backdrop

[bishart]

Beautiful work bishart!!!

thank you. heres an aerial show of the fortress of power, showing where the gun will pop in and out of. and the nice wood texture the cast will have.



these are all just iphone pics too. should have some good photos soon.

[FakeEyes22]

This is awesome, obviously, but I'm particularly fond of how you guys made it a bit more toy interactive than just a backdrop. My favorite part is the way it's built up on a hill to add some environment.

And I like how there's some nice stylistic interpretation in the skull, but it still looks right to me if that makes sense.

[Pravus Prime]

Wow, amazing work there.

[Skeletortilla]

Incredible workmanship...I really, really love the crumbling blocks of stone inside the upper turrets. That kind of attention to detail is unusual.

Astounding!

[Tyke]

My jaw just dropped....AMAZING WORK!

I like the style. I also like the magnetic wall pieces idea. Would have been cool I'd the base were more robust and more "play area" had been hidden there.

Not sure I like the lack of jaw-bridge.

Does it come with a bonus Spirit of He-Ro or Grayskull figure?

I'm guessing you renamed it, and do emphatically pronounced that renaming, so you could make us all aware that it will be for sale.



I'm afraid with the cost of the line proper, I'll have to wait for the real thing, as beautiful as this turned out. I don't think is ever be satisfied with a partial playset, though it is quite beautiful!!

[Eterniandreams]

That looks awesome! I would love a bigger one.
Please make one that is 50% larger with expandit so the door is in scale with the Golem door and it is a 10. I know, wishfull thinking

[orsogranito]

Wonderful!

Spectacular!

[BadVermin]

Absolutely the best thing I've ever seen on this site. I can't imagine if a retail version is made that it will look this impressive.

[Lewd_Squirrel]

wow, grand piece of work there.

[bobtheodd]

Fantastic work!!!!

[Mike Bock]

This is awesome! Very very cool!!!

[smanomega]

[Sky Breaker]

hey man, im glad you like it overall. there WILL BE a bridge. i mentioned that in my write up.

and thanks to everyone else who has had awesome things to say. pretty exciting to know that our hard work has paid off and people really like the style/way it looks. and these are only work in progress pics. wait until its cast and you see all the guys swarming all over it! i myself cant wait.

[bishart]

what type of material is that ?

by the way superb job !

right now its clay, wood, metal, plastic, foam, and more, but once its cast will just be plastic.

here are a few more shots.



this one is older, before the stairs or the tower cutouts were finished. but it was actually taken witha real camera as opposed to my phone. wait until you all see the textures of all the diff. areas up close. really cool...


again, thanks to everyone who commented.
