mikey Posted December 1, 2011 Deep in the desert wastelands our borders are kept safe with watchtowers: The advance watchtowers are ready to alert the main army with a beacon if needed: Home comforts are provided for the soldiers which make up our first line of defence: An off duty guard prepares a small meal: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikeyB Posted December 2, 2011 From one Mikey to another, Nicely done. I especially like the timber pieces that extend from the tower. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NiceMarmot Posted December 2, 2011 Very nice! Love the beams sticking out, and the interior scenes. And I'm jealous of that dark-tan landscape; I've got to get more dark tan plates and bricks! And a very nice arch effect around the front door. I hadn't thought of using that small 1x4 arch in combination with the other two; I'm going to steal, er, borrow that technique!

Si-MOCs Posted December 2, 2011 As everyone said, the wood braces are brilliant. The subtle dark tan terrain and the interesting wall motifs make this a fantastic tower. It's clean and simple. fantastic! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CptMugwash Posted December 2, 2011 Great job comrade! I really like the smoothness of it, it contrasts really well with the rough studs. Really digging the beams and arches too. I'm just wondering whether I like it without some bushes and maybe a snake or scorpion, idk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Basiliscus Posted December 3, 2011 Brilliant work mikey! Great use of the wooden beams, it reminds me of Malian architecture. Lovely use of half-stud offsets throughout. Nice work with the arches at the door entrance - using that 1x3 arch to bridge the gap was inspired. Hope to see more from you in our Guild! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rucorder Posted December 3, 2011 (edited) Excellent work on this! I especially like the archway above the door. Edited December 3, 2011 by rucorder Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sok117 Posted December 3, 2011 Looks Great! Your watchtower gives us a chance to fully assemble our troops should we need to fend off an attack! Love the wooden beams, and the smooth look to the whole thing, nice job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
