Very cool!
That is alot of tan
Great decorations on the walls. Love the technic red crosses.
See a piece of hair in the wall. I hate when that happens
Did Torgugick eye this(meaning: built it just by guessing) or did he have some references of the Tower of London?

Oh, that´s a really good use of the KK towers, I didn´t know they came in tan.

I like the use of the 'thin brick' for the windows...hopefully you know what I mean. The who,e MOC is well done, but somehow it doesn't feel like the tower of London. Maybe that's just me...

I think, this is due to the fact that this building, like so many others, repeatedly is redecorated, embellished, and modernised. The considerable widened windows, the spires on the corner towers, and other ornaments are additions of later centuries.
Trying to build it as a MOC, it mostly results in a kind of nineteenth century post office.
Nevertheless, apart from the odd windows in the upper part of the corner towers, it is a great MOC. Especially, the arched windows are well done.

I noticed the arched windows with the 1*1 bricks stuck to them, it makes a great effect! Most of all, the MOC looks very similar to the real tower; however, the real tower is grey, not tan, I don't see why he made it tan.
Ahh, that's what they are! I thought they were stickers at first, then I assumed they were modified pieces. Oh well, I don't have much technic Lego.Love the technic red crosses
