Looks really good, though for the Crusader HQ, I would use tiles instead of plates for the timber frame. Great job on the Wolfpack hideout. I really like the landscaping.

They both looks great. I really like the WP hideout. Very cool.

The Crusader Tudor House is cool too. I'm not much of a Crusader fan though...

I'm not really much of a Crusader fan myself, but most of my other factions were already being used in my other entries. I am trying to keep all my entries intact for now, so I didn't want to steal figs from another one for this.

Thanks for the comments,
Josh

Saw these on Brickshelf yesterday. I loved them both, but the Wolfpack was definitely the better of the two, in my opinion. It seemed a lot more original. I love the concept, and the hidden entry is beautiful. You did a great job of making the inside of the cave look like the inside of a cave.

The Crusader base looks good too, definitely one of the nicer Tudor-style building I've seen, but I find the idea of using a house like this as a military base somewhat incongruous.

I like the den better as well. I worked the idea for it over in my head for a week before I built it. The exterior of the tudor building was built before I had decided what it would have inside. I was going to use it as an inn but someone built a tudor inn already. So it turned into a field headquarters kind of thing.

Thanks for the comments!

Hey 'Mr. Wedin' : )

Really liked the WP hideout. If it wasn't such a blatsnt rip-off of the entry I'm working on : ) I'd congratulate you on the lovely details, esp. the barrels (pirates and drunken...)

Keep up the good work and God Bless,

Nathan
