I originally got a fortress which was really nice but just too large for my needs. Then I got a watch tower but just wasn't want I wanted. Finally I got something that I think is just right for me. It  measures 16x16x8 and I think this one is just what I want. Here are some pics.

Would it be possible to get a link to the auction? I'm curious if the seller has anything similar up for auction.

Yes I had one made by him and bought one off ebay but I sold them. Real nice stuff. You usually  can only contact him via FB.

Here's 2 that I bought . The first one from Old Glory was really nice but was so big I needed something a little smaller. The second one was nice tower from colonial steamboat  but when I was able to purchase my latest I sold it also.

Mark, that fort looks like the one Al from Askari Minis made. He used it in a game he ran at Historicon decades ago. It’s an amazing piece.

Maybe that's where the Colonial Steamboat guy got the idea from.

I have the Afghan Tribal Stronghold and roadside village too - Xmas presents from my good lady wife.

Have to say the OG one looks good
