BrickCurve Posted August 24, 2014 (edited) One of the first fortifications to be built on the inland sea. I rebuilt my fort adding in the tan 1x2 bricks to brake up the wall a bit thus avoiding big gray wall syndrome. I also wanted to try out this roof design.

IenjoyLego89 Posted August 24, 2014 The splash of tan in the tower works for me, and I like the technique for the roof :) My one nitpick would be with the lighting in the pictures. The seem rather dark and it's hard to pick out the detail. Maybe try taking it outside or in a better lit room? But apart from that I really like it :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scaevola Posted August 24, 2014 A nice build, I like the landscaping, base, and the shape of the tower. Not so sure about those helms on the roof however, and it would be best if we could just see your white background. Nice job overall Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gabe Posted August 24, 2014 Very nice follow up to your coastal fort BrickCurve! Good to see you trying out some new things here. I really like the varied hieght of the path leading up to the tower, and in general the landscaping is very well done. The only nitpick i can see there is the straight green line on top of the little rocky outcrop, to look more natural you might want to break that up further or have vegetation spilling over the edge of the rock. I like that you have incorporated a door, window and the lion's head into your round tower, and the tan lifts the colour scheme too. The roof i really like - the helms on the corner look great and are an ingenious way to cover an unsightly gap. A couple of things you might want to consider further for walls (both round and otherwise); using more textured bricks, or snot bricks with plates attached to simulate brickwork (also good for attaching vines or creepers too), or introducing plates of differing colour for a subtle weathered look. The top of your battlements are a little plain as well - you could experiment with using inverted slopes to make them jut out from the wall a little, or vary the shapes of the merlons. The last shot is curious btw... an ancient greatsword, buried beneath the tower? What story lies behind that blade i wonder?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hobbythom Posted August 24, 2014 Wow, I like the roof. Very original. Your landscaping is pretty sweet too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike S Posted August 24, 2014 Great addition to your town! I like the "effect" of the winding path up to the tower. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunman Posted August 24, 2014 I like the underground cave detail and the landscaping dude. You needed more light at photoshooting though.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Vladivus Posted August 24, 2014 Nice, the tan works well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrickCurve Posted August 24, 2014 I know I need more lighting because I managed to lose my lamp (just after I got back from camping) so yes I need to replace it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

soccerkid6 Posted August 25, 2014 Another very good round tower, I like the inclusion of tan here The roof looks great, especially the use of helmets Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kai NRG Posted August 25, 2014 Good work here, I like your solution for the top of the tower... I've agonized over round tower tops quite a bit (and generally end up leaving them flat!). +1 for the UoP credit! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
