I thought this might be kind of fun to share.

So for the last couple of days I've had an odd yearning to rebuild one of my old castle kits. How old? Depressingly, probably older than several of the people on this site. In retrospect, I'm honestly not sure I actually ever built it before - I think my mom made it for me because I was only about six or seven at the time. Some of the pieces have been scattered around over the years, so there are a couple I had to salvage from newer kits (a couple of 1x3 black slopes) and one that I had to fudge a little (only to realize, after I was done, exactly where I have a bunch of them). So, with digging through multiple storage box time included, this build actually took me a couple of hours (five minutes alone was spent on finding the last little black hat plume). But it was really fun, the kit looks great, and I feel a little badass for completing an old school "we won't tell you what pieces you need for this step, just look at this picture and spot the differences across the entire length and breadth of the whole build" instruction booklet.

So, with no further ado, I present, straight from 1987, 6066 Camouflaged Outpost:







I had a ton of fun with this. Part of me kinda wants to do this again with the Black Falcon Fortress the next time I have a slow day.
