The first themed building to be built in the Citadel will be the III Arms Factory.
The picture above is just a picture - it has no bearing on our final design.
It doesn't need to be a massive structure, by any means. It has a singular function: To serve the needs of the gunsmiths and machinists who will build the primary product of the III Citadel - III Arms.
I do see the factory built along the lines of a genuine fortress, a place that fits the purpose. Sure, firearms can be built anywhere. Indeed, many folks build them in their basements, and many companies build them in non-descript warehouses or corrugated steel buildings.
I believe that what we are building, and why we are building them, deserves a building suited to the process.
I do not see the III Arms building as the centerpiece of the Citadel, placed in the center of the town. Instead, I see it placed high and perhaps along the rear wall, overlooking the town within the walls, perhaps as a Sentinel.
The III Arms Building will be built strong, defensible, and well suited for the task. Inside we will have men and women who are proud to go to work every day and build the firearms we will send out to the Patriots of the Country.
When tourists, Citizens and guests enter the front gate of the Citadel, far in the distance, high upon a hill, they will see III Arms Company, and they will know immediately that it is a building designed for building the weapons that come from within, and it is the original source of all the prosperity within the town they see before them.

I like the idea of the Sentinel being the III Arms factory. I do have a question,are you only looking for master gunsmiths? Is there room for interns, beginners? I have family/friends with machinist experience, just not in gunsmithing. Are there courses? It would be nice to eventually have a III Arms gunsmithing school, passing the skills from Master to the next generation of Patriots.
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not in the town of of Julietta there is an actual castle. Not sure if the old boy that built is still there but its Kind of cool.
