Here is my entry to the "defenses" minichallenge.

These walls are manned by soldiers from the lords and noblemen of Mitgardia, each owing a month of guarding some of the many fortifications around Valholl. All is quiet for now...
This is my first grey castle, and I love it :wub:

It is a section of wall with a tower guarding a road to Valholl. It also has a dock to receive supplies brought up the river. I hope you like it as much as I do :laugh:

I think the wall technique is new, I used mostly bley log bricks with some normal bricks mixed in. In my opinion it gives a nice texture.
I tried a tiled roof and don't think I will ever be able to go back to plates :hmpf:

For more pictures visit my website (including interior): here
Any comments of criticism welcome!

Wow this is really good Soccerkid! I love the texturing on the walls and the waterfall. I'm excited to see you build more grey castles, it's briliant! :drool:

Really good indeed! So many things to like here, waterfall, river, wooden roofs, brickbuild doors, stonework.

Nice job man!

@Alex the Great: Thanks, I will definitely be doing more in the future.

@Balthasar: Thanks! I'm glad I'm not the only to think the walls work well

@Sirens-of-Titan: Thanks :sweet:

I think you are absolutely right, hopefully I can beat this one soon :laugh:

@de Gothia: Thank you, I aim to improve on at least one aspect of my building with every MOC

@Hyler Talliwell: Thank you, this is my second time using that technique for the stream and I think it works perfectly for Mitgardia.

Wow!!

The way you crafted that tower is superb, and the snow, and the waterfall.. :look:

Everything is extremely well done.

Amen! This is stunning. The stonework, the river, the snow, the cart... I think to point out how much I like it, I will have to mention almost everything about it :tongue:

Looking forward to see more builds like this!

Where to start? The walls are awesome, the roof is great and the waterfall might be the best part. Normally i hate water made like that, but here it is perfect.
