Outpost #2

Post by spotfrog »

After looking back at my first castle and realizing how horribly dull it was, I decided to completely rebuild it in hopes of creating a more successful design. Thus was constructed Miste Castle-

So... yeah. Is there anything I should improve on? Please post. :)

It looks cramped. Can you extend the walls out a little further? Otherwise, it looks like a nice little outpost -- very TLC in its demeanor. I like it.

Hey SF,

Very nice little outpost. I think I commented in the previous version that I really like the door design. The whole thing would make a great small set.

I agree with everyone else. Landscaping would be good. It doesn't have to be much. You could add some little trees in there (brick built of just the small cone tree would work well). You could add a little stream or something. Nothing too big else it will make the little outpost seem even smaller.

Its a great looking outpost. The landscape gives it a lot of character, rather than just sitting on a green baseplate. Keep up up the great work.

Good job on the landscaping. It matches the style and scale of the outpost quite well. Both are fairly simple and not over-done. Rather official set-like, which is a good thing. An excellent job.

That is great! Comparing the old picture and the new picture, I'd say thats a great MOC.

It is worthy of my 500th post btw :D
