ShadowWolfHount Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 Pretty nice house, I really love the roof design, especially the use of part to make that round shape. The only small thing I don't like is the olive color for the tower, it really sticks out from the rest, I think it being the same color as the walls below it or maybe some other color would've work better.

Thanks for your input! I was inspired by this photo, and wanted the tower to stand out: DSCF6099 by Mark Scott Abeln, on Flickr Quote
MAB Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 The texture on the red roof is also nice, much better than roof slopes all aligned. Quote

LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 Wow that curve is incredible and so close to the real picture ...the roof is a joy for my eyes! Quote
Agent 86 Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 Very nice. I really like the red / blue combination. The tower is a great build. And the red roof looks incredible. Quote
GeoBrick Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 Beautiful roof. For the overall build, I can't shake the feeling it would fit better on a dedicated ground floor. Perhaps because of the lack of ornamental stuff as compared to regular Modulars? Quote
adwind Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 Beautiful build, I would add some things going on outside, but that's just my point of view. The roof of this tower is simply amazing. Thanks for sharing ) Quote
jalemac34 Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 Nice!!! A lot of good techniques, specially the roof of the samll towers.... Wich part did you used in the center i didn't recognized it? Quote

I usually put a lot of figs in the picture, but I wanted the building to speak for itself this time. On an exhibition, I would add some features. 8 hours ago, GeoBrick said: Beautiful roof.

I'm not sure I follow you, what would fit better on a dedicated ground floor? This is an unusually clean build for me. I didn't think there was enough room for more ornaments. 6 hours ago, jalemac34 said: Nice!!! A lot of good techniques, specially the roof of the samll towers....

Is it "Plate, Modified 1 x 2 with Angular Extension and Flexible Tip" (https://www.bricklink.com/v2/search.page?q=61406*#T=A) you mean? The round LBG piece where they meet, I have no idea what is it. I just found it in one of my drawers. Edit: I found the piece I didn't recognize: "Technic Driving Ring Extension" (https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=32187#T=C).

greg3 Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 Nice build!! That roof design is pretty much perfect and I love the way it seems to fit seamlessly around the tower. I also like the use of the dual coloured pieces to create the tower roof - very clever and incredibly effective. Would definitely like to see this brought to life with minifigs etc as part of a display!! Excellent work and thanks for sharing!! Quote

At first, the dark orange roof didn't go round the base of the tower. It didn't look too good. I didn't think it would work, but I gave it a go and the wider quarter circle fitted great. It hangs a bit loose, so it's not for kids to play with (as none of my builds are). Quote
paupadros Posted January 6, 2019 Posted January 6, 2019 Really good! Colour schemes work brilliantly and I think that the tower looks great (could have looked a bit out of place just poking out of the roof). Really really like that the roof is kind of shallow, it gives it a rather unique touch. Without anything being too dramatically flamboyant, I think you've pulled off a real stand-out! Quote
carebear Posted January 6, 2019 Posted January 6, 2019 Love the real Classic look of this corner! Great Great Build!!! Greetings! Quote
