Yes, Kinggath's.
Some pictures:
I'm in the process of being extremely OCD right now. Gotta admit that most of the stuff has been vanilla assets, this "looking good" is a few bits from SS. (Support pillars FTW!)
...I haven't really started spamming the machine guns as yet. <_<

Ya know what I really like about this?Roughas military barracks gone up, with what turned out to be an armory up the top.
More to come.
Well placed stairs, guides the NPC's along the path..cause they need all the guidance they can get!
But best of all... that glorious non quest breaking hole in the wall! Ronnie's super sized ego will have no problem fitting right through it!

That's going to cost a lot of maintenance caps. Plots are free ...

This IS the Minutemen's main fortress.
Moar picture spam, starting with Ranks of Steel (Warhammer 2k style):
On the opposite side of the Minutemen Radio Operator, space for a Retrieval Station, a Radar on top with guns (shack bridges are great for placing small generators):
Pillars holding up things, plus a couple more MGs in an otherwise-dead space (covering an entrance):
Mist coming in...
I shouldn't have spammed MGs so much in this area - though protecting the water-supply is fairly vital - might move some of them to the top of the wall and spread the rest around:
The back entrance where Ronnie goes wandering through:
The front entrance, probably spammed too much again:
Still need to work on the inside. Work in progress indeed...

It may be, but by level 3, if it doesn't make enough money to pay for all the turrets, it's not going to be a fun city plan. Caps are not shared via supply lines. Keep an eye on the upkeep indicator and work it towards breaking even.This IS the Minutemen's main fortress.

Is that the little caps bar in the HUD? I don't play with upkeep on, so I'm not certain.
-edit-
Admittedly at present everything is L1 - no L2/3 agriculture plots or commercial plots.

lol,
hahahah, you have this now! haha, hiding all kinds of cool stuff in here aren't you?

you can do so much more of the killing yourself.
That little tiny machine allows you to:
Transform from just
Whisper into An Avalanche of Carnage
, Death and Mayhem... 
HAHAHA, just saying.....
Turrets are for kid
s.
You are An Avalanche of Carnage,
Death and Mayhem... 
with that cute little thingy in your settlement.
Loving your build. I see what is woodfuzzy saying about the stairs. I think that little tips like that, that folk can see really enhances the experience. I also am a huge fan of the combo build with the plots integrated into your own creative interpretation of the location.
I hope more folks see your post and are encouraged to post similar.
"there is always something to learn in a creative work" some folks may think their creations are not on par or fear others will not appreciate it so don't share them. "I think, otherwise" and it is a lot of fun finding that flash of wonder that is always there in the works of others" often the best insights are in the middle of all that, ha - whatever all that is. hahaha "no one is so smart that they are going to wrong all the time" even they can contribute
I've always liked that quote.

Also keep in mind, the Defend the Castle attacks (unless you change them (very bad)) spawn from 2 points , and target 2 sides of the Castle. So protecting the backside of the Castle is pointless. Well other than looks.
Even the teleporting synths don't bother the backside. LOL
And yes BS Defense is da BOMB!

@RayBo my character is already a death-machine. Hehehehehehhh...should I go for that 10th point in Perception and then Concentrated Fire, or should I increase his Intelligence and roleplay that after the physical damage and mental trauma of being frozen, thawed, seeing his wife shot and son stolen in front of him, and frozen and thawed again, he's starting to heal mentally...hehehehehehhh...
@woodfuzzy I will put some stuff inside and at least a minimal amount out on the points of the star. Especially covering the two entrances. It's good to know that BS Defense fixes the silliness I was having - I can now go and reduce the amount of firepower at all my settlements, to sane levels.
And I added BS Defense to the "What are your essential mods" list, looks like it was missed in the round-up.

Never mind, he has Piper and Curie to take the edge off.
(Still Cait, and Heather, and Ellen out there to try...I'm going to Hell for sure...)Back on topic:
I'm actually quite impressed with the basic building stuff now. Adding Place Everywhere and just a very few SS assets and simple techniques has improved the look of things tenfold. It makes me think that I can actually be semi-creative.
I will have to showcase my tiny 1/10th size "concrete bricks" in the secondary entrance wall that you liked. Later tonight - before I go and remove MG Turrets from all my other settlements, then start my slaughterhouse spree across the wastelands again.

An area to block, so that the idjits don't just stand there lookin' dumb - at least they will walk up this part to get to the top of things:
My tiny concrete-block "bricks" in the middle, which I see that I need to block another area to the right too:

Fully supported shack barracks (plain as inside):
Fully-supported commercial area, three internal plots and the couple on top:
In-Castle-walls medicine man (there's another medical plot too, nobody yet assigned):
Bathroom area inside the walls too (with functional door to the loo):
The entire courtyard is pretty-much wide open, good lines of sight from most everywhere:
Kinggath's martial plot at the entrance, currently L2:
Note that I've not yet used the SimSettlements power sources, this is powered by ordinary generators. I will fix that at some stage.
For now though, I'm damned tired of building. :/ I'm gonna go kill stuff for a couple of days.

I might...just might...
...have gotten a little enthusiastic...
...with the "boom-boom-shake-da-room" minefield out the back of The Castle.
I spread close to 200 across three back areas of The Castle (leaving only the two sides with entrances to really protect).
One bullet set them all off. Oh well. Anything that lands there is not gonna survive.
"Overkill" is my middle name... LOL
