Does anyone have a good round tower tutorial?

[Tomsche]

Okay, so i've been scouring the intrawebs, tried LDD and some other, but I can't really wrap my head around how to build a decent round tower. Does anyone have some good pointers for this?

The idea is not to really build a high and mighty tower, but more of a small and 'fat' round building, as I'm bar a Lego-ista also an avid World of Warcraft player and would realy like to MoC up a Blood Elf based building, a bit like this one in style:

but my modest skills and swiss cheese for brain doesn't seem to get itself wrapped around how to start out on the techniques required, mainly the part of how you connect a round building to a square baseplate, and how to get to the building of a roofing structure on top of the round tower. The how to build the round part itself I got (more or less) covered by using the cones and 1x2 brick technique I saw on some MoC's here though, it's the "what to do afterwards with them" parts I am going all misty in...

That guide is pretty good (well, excellent) for a variety of medieval building techniques. Sorry if the link doesn't work- stupid iPad and it's lack of flash. If not, the guide is in the pinned historic themes guides and indices- Derfels Guide to building a medieval village.

It works, thanks

THIS is also a nice round tower technique, which is a little bit less detailed and so easier to incorporate if you don't want to do a whole DC styled build.

Z broke down a good tower technique here. Farther down in the thread are a few variations.
