Blitzard 2.0: Elken Watchtower

[soccerkid6]

The stonework technique is made using half stud offsets, see a tutorial here. Check out more info on the Blitzard 2.0

The Elken tribe has been building strong stone watchtowers to fortify their lands against their polar bear neighbors:

Wow! The wall details look amazing! Also the Elken tribe member looks amazing!

[KlodsBrik]

Lovely MOC.

The snow on the baseplate is looking really good, but as already said that wall technique is looking even better.

The overall tower is gorgeous. Then their is the vegetation, the little path and the tree with snow.

This is looking really really beautiful.

I love it !

I'm really liking that design. Very clean and simple and very good looking. Great work!

[HawkLord]

The base looks amazing and the raised concept works really well. It's nice to see such a well designed and asymmetrical base. The brick technique on the tower is perfect and I'm interested in trying it.

Thank you for posting such an awesome build!

[Graham Gidman]

That's quite the tower! Terrific work.

[Schreeuwwitje]

This is very awesome! Great job.. very jalous.

[Ninja Bomb]

The entire build is fantastic and I found the tutorial very insightful.

Such a clean execution, amazing tower!

[Gunman]

Beautiful tower SK.... grat job!

[Rogue Angel]

I was wowed when I saw this. Excellent brick style, and very nice terrain. The Elken has some great parts usage too.

Thanks Rogue, the Elk was the most difficult part of the MOC

[Balbo]

Amazing work

I really like all the techniques you used for the tower. Furthermore the Elken minifigure looks

fantastic, too

[Staslegomaster]

Your creation is unusual! Perhaps we can exchange building techniques because I like some of your ideas. The Elk with its horns is impressive. What set is it from?

[Puvel]

Very clean build! Love those windows

The elk looks like a proper badass

[dzidek1983]

If we only had more intersting modified bricks this would make this build even better.

Great work as it is though.

[Captain Dee]

Fantastic tower. I've long wondered if such a wall technique was being used (never tried it myself but I had visualized the concept) and now I have my answer. The snowscape and tree look great as usual and the elk is a nice design. Good work.

Thank you, the elk isn't from any set, but was based off of this build by Siercon and Coral:

Thanks! I've had the thought for a while myself, rather surprised it isn't used mroe.

The master of snow & towers has struck again!

[Isundir]

Another fantastic build from you That is a sexy stone technique! It just makes me a lil bit sad that if one wants to use this technique (which I definitely would) it disables the opportunity for any sort of interior.

Thank you, and it is actually possible to do interiors with this technique. For the battlement area, it is visible from both sides and is only 2 studs thick. Doing it that way however, is much more piece intensive and uses 1x1 or 1x2 plates in dark bley to offset the bley blocks

[sander1992]

Interesting looking tower.

I really like the stone work and the windows.

Great built.

I like the Elken guy! Cool masonry!
