Beautiful! I love the texture of the walls.

Great color choices, the red trees look lovely. I also really like the shape of the tower!

(I thought I sensed some similarity with my tower when I first saw this, before I read the text Unlike me however (I only had PF stuff inside mine) you've done a good job with making the interior as well )

Great conclusion SK! Love that tower, really nice idea with that half plate offset! . The windows are great! Love the trees, and the landscaping in general is awesome! The path is awesome.

Thanks so much for your work in our collab! It was great to work with you!

Thank you, Infernum, it was fun building this storyline with you

The offset looks really good here SK. The landscaping is awesome too.

Thanks mrcp6d, I was quite pleased with the landscaping

Beautiful! It's nice to see something from Mitgardia after all these Avalonia style builds.

Thank you, and yes always good to see some more Mitgardian themed builds

Awesome build SK! Love the half stud offset and the swamp!

Thanks LV!

Awesome tower dude Isaac.... Lovely landscaping aswell, beautiful colours around!

Thanks Gunman, I used plenty of bright colors in the swamp to contrast the monotone tower

Great tower! I really like the stud offset and the trees

Thank you

This is beautiful Isaac! The swamp is very... swampy!

Thanks, that's what I was aiming for

Another nice build!

What I like about this build is not only the tower with its great texturing and the half stud offsets (great idea ), it's also the beautiful landscape I fell in love with^^

The little swamp area is well done and the trees (I use that technique too and love it ) look great. Especially the earthy colors of the leaves and the path are an eye-cathcer.

Thanks Wat-Tambor, this was my first time using dark red and that orange together for trees, I really like it

Great stuff, glad you could kick out those nasty darklings!

Thanks kabel! Got to keep Mitgardia strong

Lovely tower and that landsaping is gorgeous!

Thanks dG

The interior is very impressive, especially considering the ladders and stairs as well as the offsets between floors. The pillars of trans-clear studs detract from it, though - would it still stand without them? If not, even stone columns would look better in my opinion. Those would probably be thicker and get in the way of a whole-tower picture like the one you included, but the rooms could be seen pretty well from the sides, I think.

Thanks Gilbert, and good call on those pillars of 1x1 rounds, I'll switch to bley or leave them out if possible in future builds

Awesome tower, great path, and I'm envious if your collection of 1x1 trans green tiles!

Thanks Carson, I used to have thousands of those 1x1 trans green tiles (got them off of PaB), for example:

I've given away quite a few as I usually don't need that many. But then I got some trans green 1x1 plates off of PaB too, so I still have plenty

Awesome tower SK, I really love the texture, and the landscaping is beautiful.

Thanks Torgar!

Looks great sk! I love the use of the darker colors for the landscape withe light bley of the stone, it creates great contrast to add to the beauty of the build itself

Thanks Kayne, glad you like that contrast

Gorgeous build SK, so much to appreciate here! Such detailed landscaping (that path is lovely), and the castle itself is fantastic. I love the texture and the look of it, considering this is a single color it is very well built! The SNOT rockwork is nicely done as is the pond. I definitely like those bushes from made from sand-green leaves and white flowers, I would love to add some in my next build.

Thanks ME, those bushes were a last minute addition, glad you like em. They're a bit fragile as some of the leaves are just set in place

The half stud offset turned out really well, looks great! I love your landscaping too, it's always very nice. Cool build!

Thanks Hammerhand

Great tower SK, I like the 1/2 offset, really works well! Good work with the colorful landscaping as well!

Thanks Kai, the 1/2 stud offset was easier to work with than I expected

Like I said in the Mitgardia thread: one of the finest Lego towers I've ever seen.

Thanks

Great tower. Love the texture of it, and all the landscape details that you have been able to fit in a base of this size.

Awesome !

Thank you!

Great Job SK! The half stud offset looks great and so does the tower itself.

Thanks

You definitely can tell this is a tower created by you SK!!! I also love the swamp!

Thanks DM, glad it's recognizable

Another great build from you! Probably my favorite part is how you incorporated the dirt pathway into the rocks. Nice work!

Thanks Mike, I used that path design in one of my previous castles and really liked it

Excellent build SK! Love the tapering tower, looks very solid and has some great texturing to it. The landscaping is top notch as well. The only thing i'd change is the column of trans-clear 1x1 round plates at the back, i reckon you could get away without them for stability, and ditching them would invite the viewer into your lovely interiors that much better.

Thanks Gabe, and you're totally right about those columns

The marsh looks good, and I like the dark red/dark orange colors for the leaves. Are the dark orange 2x2 plates on the ground supposed to be fallen leaves?

When I say "something is good", it doesn't mean that everything else is bad, it is just that it stands out or find it clever, and the rest of the build brings the usual high standard.

Thanks Yooha! And I figured the 2x2 round plates were either fallen leaves or moss

Beautiful! I love the texture of the walls.

Thanks

Great color choices, the red trees look lovely. I also really like the shape of the tower!

Thanks Gideon, glad you could see your influence on the tower design

Excellent build! The causeway is great, and the landscaping/rock work are excellent. I love your diminishing tower technique as well. Beautiful build!
