lightningtiger Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 Well, here's my watchtower..... Though I do need to make a hillside with defensive ditch in front of the tower yet. Avalonia Forever ! Quote
Stash2Sixx Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 Short, solid, and to the point! Excellent usage of your guild color. My only concern...that guard is way too happy to be on guard duty! Quote
Si-MOCs Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 How doth one get inside the tower?! Though I think a splash of green or dark green would be nice - maybe swap out sand green at the bottom with a line of dark green bricks? Quote
Angeli Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 Short, solid, and to the point! Excellent usage of your guild color. My only concern...that guard is way too happy to be on guard duty! maybe his not alone in there :) Quote
Lordofdragonss Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 I never saw such adorable tower! Quote
Augen Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 Looks very solid and I like the use of one of the guild colours. I think that it could use some foliage, perhaps the dark green parts to match our other guild colour. Quote
Fred Daniel Yam Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 Methinks I like it. Happy Tigerius sitting there with some beer and a sword, what else could a man ask for? Quote
lightningtiger Posted November 14, 2011 Author Posted November 14, 2011 Thanks everyone for your comments so far, it's actually a W-I-P....well the tower is complete but the hillside for it sit on and trench in front of it will be tomorrow's job....oh, and there is a ladder to climb up and also the figure you see is Lord Tigerius himself. He will joined by at least two crossbow archers from his home country at kind bequest from his Queen to the people of Avalonia. More to come.....Avalonia Forever ! Quote
Jason Cicchini Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 Great work, guildsman! Can't wait to see it finished! Quote
de Gothia Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 Looks promising!! I like the fact that you used sand green in your tower! Do you have more bricks in that colour? Maybe you could increase the height of the tower...? Look forward to see your update with landscaping!! Quote
lightningtiger Posted November 15, 2011 Author Posted November 15, 2011 (edited) Thanks for the comments 'Jason Cicchini' and 'de Gothia', yes I still have some sand green left, but I don't need a higher tower do I..... I still have to finish the ditch and hillside too....might put a gateway along side it yet...I haven't decided ? Avalonia Forever ! Edited November 15, 2011 by lightningtiger Quote
Abu Dun Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 Great update, the small tower greatly benefits from placing it on a small hill and adding some landscape It probably wouldn't hold its own against an enemy raid, but from the looks of it it is meant to watch the borders and secure early sightings instead of slowing the opposing troops down. After all, watchtowers that could defend themselves over a span of several days or even weeks are the minority. I can imagine a bunch of those being placed at distinctive/strategic locations near the borders while being supervised by something like Silver.Smiths' small fort. Quote
lightningtiger Posted November 15, 2011 Author Posted November 15, 2011 Thanks 'Abu Dun' for your feedback, actually my design is inspired in way by this..... More to come.....Avalonia Forever ! Quote
de Gothia Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 Wow! Huge improvement by just adding landscape! Some foligae to it and it´s done!! Quote
lightningtiger Posted November 15, 2011 Author Posted November 15, 2011 You are right 'de Gothia' more foliage.....though I still must complete the small hill it sits on plus something to one side perhaps a small forge and anvil belonging to Tigerius....he likes to make his own weapons ! Avalonia Forever ! Quote
kabel Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 nice, sturdy tower indeed, only thing I'd consider would be to form the hill using green slopes Quote
lightningtiger Posted November 15, 2011 Author Posted November 15, 2011 (edited) nice, sturdy tower indeed, only thing I'd consider would be to form the hill using green slopes Well, thank you....though I stick with the plates....money reasons which is the reason for the sand green stonework.....you gotta love paying those water and power bills eh ? Avalonia Forever ! Edited November 15, 2011 by lightningtiger Quote
Derfel Cadarn Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 Well done sir! The tower really benefits from being perched on a hill. I like the use of sand green and even though its a small tower, it still looks strong and able to defend. A small moat round it would look good and some foliage. Other than that, great job, you do your kingdom proud DC Long Live Mighty Avalonia! Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 Thanks 'Abu Dun' for your feedback, actually my design is inspired in way by this..... More to come.....Avalonia Forever ! Wow! I love your replica of this fantastic tower! Quote
lightningtiger Posted November 16, 2011 Author Posted November 16, 2011 Wow! I love your replica of this fantastic tower! Thanks 'LT12V', I'll be working on the rest of the hillside today....plus a gap fill of Roman-ish ruins next to the tower....keep watching.....be on guard so we can defend our kingdom of Avalonia ! Avalonia Forever ! Quote
lightningtiger Posted November 19, 2011 Author Posted November 19, 2011 I have made some additions to this creation..... Yes, Lord Tigerius is also a smith, likes to make and repair his own weapons....if it fails he only has himself to blame....not as yet though ! Avalonia Forever ! Quote
Gabe Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 Very nice - looks great on the hillside there. I do like your custom banner as well! Quote
lightningtiger Posted November 20, 2011 Author Posted November 20, 2011 Thanks 'gabe' for your comments, it's a man-made hill next to old Roman ruins where Tigerius is able to play with his hobby....smithing. This hill has Roman walls under it as it's foundation that's why the tower doesn't sink into the ground or fall over......clever Tigerius ! Avalonia Forever ! Quote
Wout Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 Thanks 'Abu Dun' for your feedback, actually my design is inspired in way by this..... More to come.....Avalonia Forever ! Which tower is this and where is it located? I don't recognise this architecture. Quote
lightningtiger Posted December 11, 2011 Author Posted December 11, 2011 Which tower is this and where is it located? I don't recognise this architecture. Cyprus is where this structure is.....I though my tower was forgotten about. Which reminds me to finish filling the gap in the front of the defensive ditch, oops. Quote
