Thanks for sharing your building of the fortress.
It's been a real treat.
It has turned out to be one of the nicest builds on LAF in a long time.
Love it. :-*

This is madder than mad, bigger than big, more piratic than piratic! I pull my hat, throw it, jump on it and kick it around. All to your honour, my good Admiral. Beim Klabautermann, what a fine fortress you have there!!!

No, "we" don't have anything!  You built it and now your client has it.  What's his address again?
