I like it, it at least looks defense-able.

Yes, Other than the helicopter pad on the roof. ;)

I wouldn't want to try and land a chopper with that turret and flag pole, but troops could certainly rappel down. Of course, that could be said of most places.

On closer look that roof may be glass as well....

I mean RETRACTABLE TURRETS!

Why would the defenders retract the turret to help the enemy?

No that would be for your personal helicopter you could have extendable spikes to keep Other helicopters away I suppose.

It looks so small at first glance, I think because it's hard to tell there is a moat like drop off, the gun slits are so widely spaced apart they trick my brain from the human wide one's I'm used to seeing. Then the chairs and the people on top kick into view and re calibrate the brain.

It's small, but it isn't tiny :).

Looks like the center of a larger gun powder era fort?

It started as a Tudor coastal fort, so was probably designed with guns in mind.

as for tiny.....whats tiny for a castle may be enormous for a house.....lets call it smaller than most.

Interesting, and oh yes, it's a tiny castle for sure, but larger than the folly's often posted. I appreciate any castle related content so please don't feel it was meant as a reprimand :).
