3 Turrets inspired by 6094

Hello, people.

These are my first Castle MOCs I've ever posted here (I've posted a few other things over in the LEGO forum).

They were inspired by this weeks Set Re-Review, 6094 Guarded Treasury.

First up, the Crossbow Turret.

The whole thing

Next, we have the Catapult Turret.

Last, but not least, the Prison Turret.

Thanks for looking!

Looks good for your first Castle MOC (that you posted here, thats is). I would love to see these on a wall or a whole wall of them

Hehe, I like these. They really do give the feel of the sets, and would work very well for a modular castle set on those raised base plates.

Thanks wunztwice and lol (have you ever been called that?

).
Those are some good ideas.

I thought meybe they'd look intresting sourounding (sp?) one large castle. Although I woudn't have enough parts to build them and a large castle.

These look very impressive. Something I'd like to see LEGO make, or to have put into a small castle.

Those buildings have the feal of real lego sets and the sensibility of MOCs, I could actualy see lego building these. Great job.

God's speed

Thanks, jango and Imdol. And yes, it'd be fine for you to use these in a MOC... I kinda thought people built these kinds of things already.

These look great. I would like to see them on a larger creation, or at least with some surrounding landscape detail (if you don’t have more gray to build a larger structure), like a tree, or a grassy mound or even a garden of flowers. I think this would add a nice contrast to the gray. But overall they all look great. Job well done.

Thanks.

The main idea of these things was the 8x8 green basebrick. Not really a whole model with a landscape and everything, but almost like a vigenette.

You try to pack as much as possible into the turret, as you try to pack as much as possible into a scene on a vig.
