New Backstory:
An evil wizard with an ambition to take over the kingdom has cursed the inhabitants of a tower and turned them into an army of the undead. They have abducted the princess in a bid to blackmail the king. But the king has already made his move, sending his three bravest knights to challenge the army of skeletons and rescue the princess. But who will emerge from the battle victorious?
Includes 12 minifigures, a horse and a removeable roof to see inside!
What do you think? As usual, tell me if I've missed any photographs. Please comment this time!
UPDATE #2: Second-to-last update (I presume). It was originally the last update, but I'm going to have to re-shoot some pics that looked awful on the computer. Anyway, I've made the tower taller, added skellies and knights, done the landscaping and locked up the maiden. Now I just need a new backstory, which'll come tomorrow along with the last pics. Speaking of pics:

I have replaced the dynamite, but that's on the pics that need to be re-shot. The interior hasn't changed, so you can just scroll down to the original post to see it.
Important thing: Are there any picture requests? I want to know if I've forgotten to photograph any important aspects of my MOC! Oh, and I invite anyone to come up with a good name for this tower (I suck at names. God help any kids I have in the future! I'll probably call 'em Typhoo or something
)Well, I'll update tomorrow, along with a new creation that's not online yet!
UPDATE #1: Woo, I'm back! It's been a while and, due to prior commitments, I've not been Castle-ing as much as I'd like to. As a result, I have only just gotten around to doing some landscaping. I don't do a lot of landscaping (I'm mostly a Star Wars MOCer), so no masterpieces, I just think it adds a little more character to the model.

Sorry about some of the pictures, they're a bit blurry because I was cooking at the same time (now there's a trick!).
How's the landscaping? Good? Bad? Unnecessary? (I hope its not unnecessary!)
All C+C welcome!
To do list:
Make 'tower' bit taller,
Add skeletons,
Add knights,
Swap dynamite for 'magic',
Make Medieval backstory,
Anything else?
ORIGINAL POST:
Hi! Okay, I'm a little bit late posting this (fine, a LOT late!), but here is one of my entries For the Castle Contest. I have a slight problem, though. I originally built it for the 'Castle' category, but now I see that it's generally the wrong shape. So, I figured it looked like a tower, and it's got a locked room (albeit a ground floor one), so I think that's how I'll enter it. What are your opinions?
Anyway, enough yapping, here's the pics:

Backstory:
Long ago, in the Middle Ages, a small tower in south-western England was cursed by an evil sorceress, it's inhabitants were forced to battle one another until Judgement Day. One knight prevailed over the rest in terms of skill, but even his flesh turned to dust over the centuries.
Now, Johnny Thunder and the gang have arrived to claim his hoarded treasure. But they had better watch out, as Lord Sinister has formed a ruthless gang of villains, who also want the treasure for themselves.
At least the Skeleton Warriors are dead... right?
Includes eight (and a half!) minifigures, a removable roof, an opening tower, a detailed car, lots of minifigure accessories and working dynamite action!
So, what does everybody think? Tower or something else? Good or bad? Cool or lukewarm? Eligible to enter?
All complements and constructive criticism are welcome!
Jinja..
P.S. Sorry about picture quality, but as long as you can tell what it all is...
However I think you should better choose your minifigs so that they fit into the catagory - have a reread of the catagory discription. The tower needs to be a bit taller too. I think if you made the top structure taller & made the bottom into a raised landscape that would look much better. Keep it up!
