Servertijd Posted May 6, 2021 Hi all, I decided to do a build for GOH again, here it is! The city wall of Oxenfurt.

jtooker Posted May 6, 2021 Lovely MOC! Great texturing on the paved ground. The 6 sided tower is terrific. I like how the buttresses at the corners fit so well. The stone technique does a great job of looking good and consistent both on the flat parts and where they meet at non-90-degree angles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zoth33 Posted May 7, 2021 Great build. I really like the texturing of the wall. The way you did the roadway looks fantastic with the uneven plates and tiles. The vegetation on the outside looks great too. Nice brick built flag. Figs look good, especially the ones with the older torso's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Stad Posted May 7, 2021 This is amazing! Wonderful texture, great attention to detail, and very nicely done with that hexagonal tower. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kai NRG Posted May 7, 2021 As I said on Flickr, I really like the shape of this tower! Something about the hexagon is so pleasing and the smooth way each angle meets is great. I also love the bright yellow on the foliage outside the wall! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grover Posted May 7, 2021 Great to see a GoH build from you again! Make sure to claim the build for Military on HSS! I really like the build, especially the proportions since you built to minifig scale. The realistic height on the town wall and towers, along with the functional crenelations look fantastic. The brick built flag gives a good sense of motion, too! You have enough texture and detail in the wall with the dark tan and the headlight bricks on their sides that the wall is interesting and yet not too busy. I also like the buttresses on the corner of the octagonal tower. The help with the sense of being round and break up the angles nicely. Very well done!

Yeah, it was about time I did a new build for GOH :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrcp6d Posted May 18, 2021 An awful lot to like here! Great way to make a hexagon tower, I'm definitely going to have to try it sometime. Love the flag at the top and the minifig posing too. Sweet little slice of a castle here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
