[MOC] (Not so) Abandoned Tower

[Ravelino]

(not so) Abandoned Tower by Jip Kempers, on Flickr

"On the edge of Wither Woods, next to an abandoned watchtower, stands a Neverdying Tree. They say the fruits she bears are so sweet and hydrating one can drink seawater for days after eating them."

A noble prince and his entourage hunts for the tree but after questing for days through dense forest they find it stripped bare. Looking at the black tower next to it his bannerman notices the torches above the door are lit.

The prince sends in his squires to search for the missing fruits. But shortly after entering the tower spits one out running for dear life!

This place is abandoned no more...

Had this base left over from the Summer Joust. Shame to let it go to waste.

The tree uses the same frame as Carter Witz's Bonsai

 

Special thanks to Stuifzand from Lowlug for the idea to close off the back of the base, saved me a lot of time!'

Wonderful build. The dichotomy between the pink leaves of the tree and the bleakness of the rest of the grounds makes the tree really pop. I enjoy seeing the soldier's helmet jump at the sight of the skeletal warrior.

Nice to see skeletons vs crowned 😆. The bone detailing on the tower is a great detail!

I love all the foliage, it looks really well thought-out and adds a lot of life to the build.

Nice work Ravelino, especially the natural surroundings of the tower. Beautifully landscaped 😃👍

Thanks @noahtheb& @Vliebricker ! I can never get tired of building natural surroundings, I literally had to stop myself and add figures before there was no place for them anymore.
