Orzel Outpost Moc

[Frugal bricks]

Hello all! 

Id like to unveil my castle moc, Orzel Outpost! This will be a submission to the next BDP, but im also planning to upload it to lego ideas. Its a watchtower inspired by polish architecture, serving as a border outpost for the Griffin Knights against the serpent knights. I'll show off more renders in time, but the enclosed tower is built in removable sections and features removable panels in the back. The build is about 1650 pieces, as I wanted to create a smaller castle build that didn't chase the 4,000 piece mark. Let me know what you think!

Also please be sure to follow me on instagram: Frugal_bricks

Nice, compact watchtower setup. I like that you aren't going huge. Best of luck with it.

Nice use of non-grey bricks :)

Thank you so much! it was certainly the goal to create a much smaller set that can be bought for under $150

Of course! I wanted something that would certainly stand out

Beautiful color palette and nice, compact tower design!  I like the inclusion of a bombard cannon.  Colors for the landscape and trees are a nice contrast to the structure.
My only question/concern: do the wheels on the cannon roll?

Wonderful restrained details on this, just exactly what is needed to depict the different forms right down to the tree. It actually gives this model a very graphic feel about it.

Thankfully that cannonball isnt going anywhere in that puny barrel so your build is safe...for now.

Fantastic castle!

I like the use of the new colors for the grass, the walls and the roofs ...even the siege cannon is beautiful and very detailed!

you know, it didn't dawn on me, even as a closet play guy, that they do not. But I can certainly swap out the modified 1x2 bricks with 1x2 technic bricks and add in the grey linkers!

And thank you for the comment. I definitely wanted something that would stand out from the standard grey stone. In my personal lore for castle, the revival factions (Horse, Kraken, Griffin, Serpent) come centuries after the classic factions, so the bombard and fired brick tower design are a way of showing evolution towards the renaissance age.

Thank you so much! I really love all the warmer shades they have come out with recently
