Thank you everyone, I really appreciate the kind words.
This build has taken me almost 3 weeks to complete.
It has gone through 3 major design changes, that required disassembly, then re-engineered to suit my new vision.
The choice I made on the windows with the toothpicks took me forever to derive, I wanted a iron bar look without the jail house look, seems cheesy I know. lol
Then the stairs design...WHOA ! Rebuilt the stairs twice, then added structural support for longevity, and heavy minis.
Then getting all the alignments the best I could, wow, glad I'm done with this one, weeeeeeeee Ok now what's next ?

I think this would have been a kick ass craftwar entry this month! As always, love your work Draklith, its a good, play friendly structure, with some really eye catching elements. The layout of the tombs and the floor features are nice, as is the mixture of stone textures.
Excellent.

Very nice. I particularly like the vertical elements and the long arches. If I made something like this out of my Hirst Arts Hydrostone blocks, it would probably weigh 15 pounds.

How did I miss this?... Holy craftastic, Craftman! Wow... Just, "Wow!" Absolutely amazing piece of work. I hope you get a great deal of gaming out of it. It is just too phenominal for a one-shot game. Cheers! And, thanks for the 1 million photo's -- it deserved every one of them...

Fantastic work. That second set of pictures that showed some of the steps you went through answered a question that I had. I wasn't sure if you used individual blocks to make up the walls and columns but I could see them in the in progress pictures. Of all the things that I liked, I think that I liked the modularity the best. I've had a hard time reusing some of my bigger terrain pieces. The ability to add and subtract features to change the layout allows much more versitility. I'll be borrowing that concept for my future projects.

Totally awesome piece. Do you cut the blocks yourself, or do you have a source? I use similar blocks, but I cut them myself and it is tedious. Those look very porous. Do they take paint well?
