Wow that's a really cool tree.... I like all the little plants and butterflies outside it too, gives it a real mystical feel.

it looks very beatiful, beds inside the tree reminds me of peter pan and the neverland

Wow! That is really excellent! Very creative! I like the consistent tiled floor on the interior. Looks real good!

Good luck in the comp with it!

Very good! I like the way you have put the stairs. Also, is that a catapult on the top?

This is wonderful... I can imagine this as a headquarters for the forestmen or wolfpack... it's huge!

Great work on the outside to make it seem magical and fantasy-like, and great work on the inside to make it seem almost palacial. I don't think I've ever really seen a MOC like this... very unique!

I really like how the outside seems fantasy-ish, but the inside is more realistic! The whole thing is great and I hope you do well!!!

Wow... I always thought that the perfect Forestman base would be an enormous tree, and even though this is more like a mixed band of rebels, it's still just as awesome. The interior is amazing, I love all the stairs, and the trunk beds, and the dining hall, and the cellars.

The only thing missing is more pictures, but those can wait until after the holidays.

P.S. I just realized, if every member of classic-castle was active, and all of them (excluding the admins) entered twice in every category, there'd be twenty-four thousand, five hundred (24,500) entries! No wonder they want only three pics...

This is fantastic! Heh, I was actually thinking of doing something almost exactly like this for CCCIV but I never found the time to do it. Now I'm glad I didn't bother because this far surpasses what I had envisioned.

it is kinda of a fantasy genre, but i like the interior! the colours chosen complement the brown of the wood, and the details (stairwell, triple-decked beds?) are very nice.
i like the overall feel of a MOC, (though) I doubt if it would suit our traditional forestmen. a bunch of rebels? definitely

Wow, I built a giant tree for CCCIV too! Jinx!

I really like your interrior. Well done & good luck in the contest

What is the torso of the dual-crossbow wielder in the tree?

Lucius Malfoy's.

That's a viking torso.

Also seems like it will be used for soldiers in the new castle theme.
