Eric, you are doing some *terrific* things there.
If you're not satisfied with the wall gate structure, I'd suggest making the
outer face a little more interesting. Maybe a few more windows, flags, or
shields...?

Actually it is not so much the facade of the structure I am unhappy with. The
feeling I wanted the stucture to give was one of strength and I feel that to
many windows and other things hanging off it take away from that feeling.
The part that I guess I am talking about is the Guard lookout building on top
of the center of the gate and inparticular the red roof. To me the roof takes
away from the feeling of strength I am going for. I have tried several other
solutions to date anyware from removing the room all together to extending it
and just making it another tower and everything inbetween.
It's not like I can't live with it. I have grown to actually like it to an
extent I just can't help but feeling that there is something better I could be
doing with it.
Thanks for the ideas though. If I ever get into doing a story board and I need
to decorate it for a celebration I will definitely be adding more flags and
decoration.
