[MINI ENTRY] The Little Ripper

[CaptainDarkNStormy]

Yet another entry by my 7yo 'Lil Stormy. This little half abandoned fortification is called the Little Ripper.

I like the use of the round cannon balls. Although they don't fit in the cannot they do look nice in a stack.

I like the idea of semi ruined abandoned fortification, but i'm not sure what going on behind that door :) i mean, it seems that they open up to the jetty, but there's realy not enough space to open them :) So i guess this could be worked out nicer with those 92 years he's got left to uprade this design ;) 

And with abandoned semi ruined outposts, i guess perhaps wooden elements should be the easier to deteriorate? Cause that jetty seems to look nicer than the bastion itself :)

But the simplest uprade would be to add a minifig, there's a broken cannon, so why not a broken cannoneer to go with it. Like a skeleton of a guy in shako, with a linstock who tried to fire that gun till the very end. And no wonder he failed and the bastion become forgotten since he was provided with some realy oversized ammunition! ;)

Also a flag ripped by balls or time would be nice... if there is such thing as a rundown flag in the Lego world ;)

Yet another great little build; it needs some trees, animals, and a minifigure or a skeleton to bring it to life.  You have a very talented builder!

Yes I love those too. I typically use them on my MOCs despite them not actually fitting in the cannons.

Those would be great additions!

Another great moc by 'Lil Stormy, all it needs is a minifigure, make those walls white with dark red, and make the dock one color, and your good, happy building 2 you and your son :)
