MOC: Archery Range from Age of Kings

[Vorkosigan]

First off I have to give thanks for the inspiration for this MOC, Artizan's great AOEII Ideas project: http://www.eurobrick...showtopic=88044

However this is not a build of his model, though it does share some strong similarities. I went through the source material from the ground up and came to some of the same conclusions and some major differences. I would've liked to make the roof dark orange but there were not enough parts available in that color. I added some details not visible in the game like a simple interior. I used a 40 x 32 base because I could not fit real stairs to the tower in a 32x32 model. The top of the 8 sided tower was interesting as I'd never made anything with angles like that and I wanted to keep the interior usable.

Here is the source material:

Nice

Good build, I like the way you did the interior of that house, plus that it looks like the Archery in the game

Excellent archery range! The build looks very good and matches the source material well. The different structures are nice and the arrangement utilizes the base well. I would like a little more detailing on the base (plants, a few rocks, etc) but I realize the archers would want the range kept clear. The interior is pretty good too. Nice work.

I really like this idea, I remember wanting to do something like this, but for Stronghold 1/Crusader.
