AoM: Archery, Phase II: Spring Practice

Recommended Posts

Here's my build for the second Archery phase. I continued experimenting with cross braces, and took inspiration for the tower’s gables from Brickvader.

As the spring weather causes the snow to thaw, archery drills continue at the range.

Very nice, a great evolution from phase I, saw this on Brickbuilt earlier :wink: The braces on the tower work well, and so do the two shades of brown, gives a nice realistic look. Another amazing build!

The crossbeams here turned out really well SK, and I love the melting snow effect too - looks very realistic!  How did you manage to pull off the small crossbeams on the platform?  Are those just poles going from headlight to headlight?

Thanks Kai! As you thought, those are just 3L bars put into the back, then front of headlight bricks. A bit tricky to assemble sometimes, but quite stable once in place. The 2 stud width, 1 brick height difference seems to work best.

Excellent continuation of your archery range! The melting snow effect is wonderful, and I'm impressed by how well you got those large crossbeams to fit in the lookout tower :thumbup:

The upside-down plates work nicely for the roof here too :classic:

I like the changing seasons, and as said before I'm a huge fan of the cross-bars

Lovely build! The crossbeams are excellent and I love the tower. And I am very glad that the additional practice has allowed your archers to finally hit something!

Lovely continuation of your Phase I, with seasonal change [which made you evolve into a melting-Snowman! :pir-oh: ].

As the others said, both timbered structures looks great!

They might even come in handy in my next build.. 

:grin: 

Oh and Henjin has a point: practice makes the master! ^^

Thank you, and yes they're getting much better! Now to make things trickier for them with phase 3 :pir-laugh:

The beams are just splendid on the platform and the tower. The ground is also really well done, with the snow, and the snow melting. I like to use of antennae as arrows.

Sweet archery range and tower SK! I especially like the small crossbeams under the walkway! 

Thanks LordDan :classic:

Summer practice coming? I like the addition of the tower and the expansion of the range.

You guessed it! It's almost done, hopefully I'll have time to finish it and take pictures this weekend :classic:
