[MOC] Soldier on guard duty

[Delta_02_Cat]

Hello everyone,

this is actually my first moc I ever build and even if it is nothing special or very creative, I hope that you can give me a few suggestions to improve myself. I hope to build more when I find the time and sorted my bricks ;)

There is also a bit of a background story to this moc, I hope to build a little "kingdom" of my own.

This was never a place of much importance, even back in the days when the watchtower still stood. There are no valuable villages nearby, no mines or castles, but the ruin of this ancient tower is a great place to guard the surrounding area and to spot the occasional outlaws before they can do any harm. And so our "Hero" has the duty of guarding this forsaken place, together with a ranger who is currently hunting for a nice evening meal.

Thank you.

Very good for your first MOC! I like the ruined tower and the foliage is excellent

I would suggest using some green plates to make some small hills in the ground, then everything isn't flat

Nice MOC/Vignette. I wish i was this good when I started out! if you were to try something like this on a larger scale i would suggest some elevation change, like a small hill.

Well yer gotta start somewhere, but isn't lighting a fire that close to shrubbery a bit dangerous?

Thank you all for your comments!

I never thought about adding green plates for the height but I will certainly do that!

A simple but great MOC. The greenery looks nice and so does the tree.
