Excellent. I love LEGO creations like this that, when photographed, show no signs of being LEGO. The background gives the illusion of an overcast sky, and the planks which make up the door complete this very realistic MOC.

An excellent set. The high fig ratio makes it worth every penny. The simple design of this set makes it attractive to the eye and realistic without being too busy and filled with unnecessary contraptions. I hope to one day get my hands on this true LEGO castle legend.

It's just speculation, but since we saw an imperial torso and a pirate torso, it looks like these will be the two opposing groups.

I love the pirate theme, and am on pins and needles in anticipation. I am hoping for a large European ship, as well as a large fort such as the Imperial Trading Post or Eldorado Fortress, although I don't think it's likely that LEGO will make two large colonial sets, (or any pirate sets at all, for ...

Wow, this is great. It's not often that we see a MOC from you architect, but when we do it sure is cool. I love the SNOT tapering. Architect is definitely a fitting name for you; very few builders have your level of structural expertise.

Meh, it's alright... :lol: No, I'm just kidding. You know, it astounds me how every time you build something, I think that it is impossible to improve on that creation, and yet each new MOC gets even better. The details, both structural and other, bring this MOC a high level of authenticity and visu...

I'm not a big fan of zwords, but that's about all that I see wrong with this fig. The decal is simple but very attractive, and once again you have a very good eye for colour. All that I would recommend doing is replacing the sword with a chrome silver greatsword.

He's an... otter, right? I love those guys in the book. My only complaint on this is if you could color in the nose with a color... that's it... really. I like the custom colors of the zword, as that makes it far better than the regular, single colored zword. The decal's great, and I like the hood ...

This is, once again, an excellent Carney creation. Although it doesn't necessarily have the subtle architectural details of some MOCers here, I echo Bruce's words when I say that it is a flawless reproduction of a beautiful historical castle. The design is great, and I like the solidity that is pres...

This is very nicely constructed. It definitely has a very rustic village feel to it, and I like all of the nice details that you have included. An excellent MOC, and even better considering its your first.

This is very well done. I like all of the architectural details, which really make this relatively small tower stand out as a high quality MOC. Nice work!
