kniedzw gave me my Valentine's Day present early, on the grounds that it would be better for me to have it before I finish the last major work on With Fate Conspire:
Four thousand two hundred eighty-seven pieces in twenty-eight sacks. Three magazine-sized instruction booklets; god knows how many steps in total, especially since after you go through all eighty-one stages (not counting sub-stages) to build one tower, you do it all over again for the second one.
This is gonna take a while.
I may photoblog the process. (And, as
kniedzw suggested, try to stage that ending scene from Sherlock Holmes on the unfinished structure.)

*: This wanting is mostly theoretical. I would have no place to put the damn thing, since it's, y'know, 3 feet long.

- a generic fort, though they call it a castle, and
- a dark ninja fortress.
That said, these guys built Neuschwanstein.no subject
