"Once there was an old oak tree inside the forest. It was a couple hundred years old and nothing could ever destroy it. War, fire, ice, time. And a few forestmen, on the running after stealing a very powerful and rich merchant, used it as a hideout during weeks. After that, they decided to use the strong structure as a pillar for their future fortress. And even after a hundred years from it's foundation, the fortress remains as strong as the great oak tree ever was. And so it shall be forever" - The Oak Fortress

Wow, I just love how the different colored leaves blend together! Thank you TLG for finally giving us the leaf piece in other colors than just shades of green! :wub:

Truly a magnificent creation, great job! The minifigs are great, as well, very fitting.

Glad to have you in GoH! The tree looks fantastic, I especially like the different color leaves in it :thumbup: The fortress section is also superb, I especially like the curved shape and the hoardings over the gate :wub:

Great first build for Avalonia, looking forward to many more :classic:

This is awesome. My favorite part isn't the tree though, it's the windows on the tower spiraling up. I imagine there must be a spiral staircase in there--great detail!

I wish the photos weren't so small and blurry.

So.... click on them? His flickr has the huge resolution you're after.

What a lovely build! I really like the shape of your base, really different. And what about the tree and the tower... So perfect in my own opinion! Wow, well done. And good luck for your contest!
