soccerkid6 Posted April 25, 2016 Thanks to de Gothia for letting me place this watchtower in Benoic. Having recently acquired quite a few dark green plates, I wanted to try a landscape in that color and chose to put a small tower/cottage combo on it. There is a full interior, though because of the small size the furnishings are fairly frugal. Both doors are functional as well. The corner stonework was inspired by Dwalin Forkbeard, the cottage was inspired by Legopard, the ‘gear’ mushrooms were borrowed from Captain Flint, and the tower windows were inspired by Gideon. Benoic has many stone watchtowers within its lands to provide warning in case of attack, and also as bastions of defense. This particular tower also has a small cottage to serve as living quarters for the soldiers stationed there. More pictures can be seen on brickbuilt. Thanks for looking, your comments and suggestions are always appreciated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TitusV Posted April 25, 2016 Lovely! While I am building in Mitgardia, you're building in Avalonia! What's wrong with your starting guild: Great tower, love the irregular base! Altough I don't really like the corner stone-Dirk, I like the wall-technique you used here (in fact, I like all you wall-techniques ) and I admire the fact you managed to squeeze such beautifull interiors into such a small space! Great job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
de Gothia Posted April 25, 2016 Wow! It's such a beauty!!! I know I have said it before but I really want to try to start building interiors in mocs! That brings so much more to the moc! And you my friend are the best in that school!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks dG Very nice tower, the amount of detailing is excellent! Thanks Gideon, I was pleased to be able to replicate your window design now that I have some 1x2 curved slopes Awesome, as always!

BrickCurve Posted April 26, 2016 Great job! A perfect watchtower, I really like how you added the dark grey to the corners, it makes the colour schemes more interesting and breaks up the grey. Also, an excellent irregular base. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LittleJohn Posted April 26, 2016 Absolutely gorgeous build, Isaac! The dark bley at the corners looks fantastic, and I really like the turret as well Beautiful landscape and house too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kai NRG Posted April 27, 2016 Very nice watchtower SK; I'm not completely sold on the color combos but you've done a fantastic job on the texturing and the little cottage off to the side is great! And the interiors are really neat as well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
