Desert Fortress

Name of Model: A Calrissian outpost

Details:
Esteemed Castle builder Rocko has decided to take a break from the usual entertaining castle scenes to build this fortress in a desert. His regular sense of humor shows through, though, with Star Wars cameos and a woman being chased by spiders. The fortress itself is gorgeous, if a bit castle-ish, and the mosaic walkway and sculpted desert around the fortress are both excellent. I'm not sure what I think about using BrickForge animals though - BrickForge is technically off-brand, but since they only make special components and are themselves LEGO fans, most people make an exception to the "rules" when it comes to BrickForge elements. The fort itself, though, is particularly awesome - I can't remember the last time I saw a studless castle building.
