Finally done...
This MOC was originally built for BrickCon 2008 and has sat in a "Mostly finished state for over a year taking over my LEGo table. It's time it goes, so I finished it off quick and here it is.
I'm not particularly proud of the castle, but I think most of the landscping came together quite nice.
There are alot of details in the gallery/set.
Hokay, so here's the story I worked up in my head:
This small border outpost was attacked by some rabble during the winter, only causing some damage to the front wall and burning the barracks.
Now spring has come and the baron in charge of the area is able to pay a visit. He is coming to check up on the progress of the new barraks, while the town patriarch wished to discuss paving the courtyard to quell the mud...
The miller takes a break upon the arrival, while the Inn maid and stableboy finish their tasks.
Not even the stable boy is aware of the secret passage under the stable.
The diorama features a working waterwheel and millstone, secret passage, and more than enough rockwork to drive me crazy...

Met Life North building and Met Life Tower in the background.
Met Life North featured in "The Adjustment Bureau."
Met Life North:
"The Metropolitan Life North Building, currently known as Eleven Madison, is a 30-story art deco skyscraper on Madison Square Park in Manhattan, New York City, at 11-25 Madison Avenue. The building is bordered by East 24th Street, Madison Avenue, East 25th Street and Park Avenue South, and is connected by an elevated walkway to the Met Life Tower just south of it."
"The North Building was designed in the 1920s by Harvey Wiley Corbett and D. Everett Waid as a 100-story skyscraper that would have been the tallest building in the world. However, due to the Stock Market Crash of 1929 and onset of the Depression, the construction was halted at floor 29 in 1933."
"The building as it exists today, which has 2,200,000 square feet (200,000 m2) of space, was constructed in three stages, and was finally completed in 1950. It is finished on the outside with Alabama limestone and marble detailing, and marble in the lobbies. The building features four vaulted corner entrances, and its bulk is mitigated by numerous setbacks and its polygonal shape. The building contains 30 elevators, enough to serve the originally-planned 100 floors.
From 1994-1997, the building, which has served time as Met Life's records warehouse, had its interior redesigned by Haines Lundberg Waehler and the exterior renovated, all at the cost of $300 million. It is currently owned by The Sapir Organization and primarily occupied by Credit Suisse, with the Danny Meyer restaurant Eleven Madison Park occupying street-level retail space on Madison Avenue."
Added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.

Met Life Tower:
"Metropolitan Life Insurance Company Tower, also known as the Metropolitan Life Tower or Met Life Tower, and currently being converted into the New York Edition Hotel, is a landmark skyscraper located on Madison Avenue near the intersection with East 23rd Street, across from Madison Square Park in Manhattan, New York City. Designed by the architectural firm of Napoleon LeBrun & Sons and built by the Hedden Construction Company, the tower is modeled after the Campanile in Venice, Italy. It was constructed in 1909 and served as world headquarters of the company until 2005. It was the world's tallest building for three years, until 1913, when it was surpassed by the Woolworth Building."
"The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972, designated a National Historic Landmark in 1978, and a New York City landmark in 1989."
"Between 1960 and 1964, the Tower itself was modernized by Lloyd Morgan and Eugene V. Meroni. . . . The original tower was sheathed in Tuckahoe marble, but during the 1964 renovation plain limestone was used to cover the tower and the East Wing, replacing the old Renaissance revival details with a streamlined, modern look. Much of the building's original ornamentation was removed."

I think this is the staff with Hillary Clinton. Anyone know the date? The names of people?

Postcard showing the border checkpoint in Vaals, Netherlands. Germany is over the border. This is postmarked 1956.
This is a little less intimidating than passing from West to East Berlin used to be when I was there in the 1980s – note the tram tracks in this view. The street scene is not very much changed, although there are now no formalities at the frontier.

border with India at Tetrinot check post. this is a high security area...we would not have been allowed this close if it was not for the army escort we had travelling with us
Just around the corner the border starts, it took us almost 4 hours to pass 8 checks, eternal question: What do you have for me? Answer: Well...Nothing!
This pattern is for sale in my Etsy shop, Hardcore Stitchcorps.
I love the first of the lower borders especially. It came out much prettier than I'd anticipated.
