It’s still funny to see what the boys are creating with Mobaco.
The doors & gates are always used. Somehow they like this simple addition.

So after a request for new wall pannels, it’s also time updating the gates:

The wooden parts from the left 2 buildings were already made. Main concern: “The double doors of the middle building could open both inside & outside. That’s wrong daddy.”

Okay, that’s a quick fix. Gluing a small piece of wood on top of the existing doorstep, the doors can open only in one direction.

Honestly the portcullis on the left side is actualy used a bridge.
This needs an update too!

The most logic direction, is creating a portcullis which fully slides inside the columns. That is the left version, but standard floorstips will not be compatible and so the construction will be very weak.

So that’s why the right side version is build. This is the most easy way, combining the portcullis with the existing Mobaco floor pannels & strips.

For entring the fortress:

  1. Lowering the bridge,
  2. Opening the doors,
  3. Lifting the portcullis,
  4. Welcome in the fortress.

(Alternativly, walk around the fortress, since the backside is still open.)

Now 2 ropes could be used, one for the bridge & one for the portcullis. It’s getting more fun now, I hope.
