When I first saw “Floating city of Lanac” by First Order Lego (

Luckily, my father-in-law did some metalwork that inspired solution I used here. And so, "Bakłabych Fortress" came to life.
I opted for early modern trace italienne fortifications on the top, something I want to build in minifig scale one day. There was some experimenting with the rockwork in the floating mountain and the number of bastions floating around, but finally weight constraints forced me to use BURPs and only three bastion forts. Well, less is more they say, right?
