spaceman76 Posted May 13, 2020 Since the lake was finished, I have had time to get my inventory updated and added many new parts. But also a new build, a watchtower. That was again something I have never done before and spend much time to come up with ideas and design. A few months ago, I started to follow a german builder on Flickr, Ralf Langer. He build some fantastic things, including medieval builds. Once in a while he reveals his techniques and that was my inspiration to the tall cylinder wall. In the way of styles to make a wall look old and weathered, this wall is made with rings of mixels hinges. These hinges can twist and bend in many ways and makes it a perfect use for a stone wall. Each ring is completed in size and then placed on to up the one below. In 4 different spots, the rings are attatched to eachother with plates inside the cylinder. Once a ring is in position, tiles are put on the studs. Keep in mind that each ring have to be adjusted before you can add the tiles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zoth33 Posted May 14, 2020 Great tower. I like all the tiles and plates on the tower. The upper wooden part is excellent. Very nice railing and I like the use of the wooden round tiles to simulate wooden beams. The tiled roof is nice. I like the trees and plants around the tower, the trees have some nice diversity. I like the vine with the claw pieces, gives it some character. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beleg the Ranger Posted May 14, 2020 Very good, virtually flawless! Plates, plates and more plates that make your build the way it is, super detailed and super cool! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sarophas Posted February 24, 2021 Really well made! Interesting choice of colors, but it works quite well. The different building techniques are also really interesting, especially the wooden 'walls' look amazing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
