Incredible lolas. The sheer architecture in the model is marvelous. I love the way it all opens up, especially since I'm big on playability. I also think the size is really appropriate, perhaps bordering on too large but defineately not as large as some others. The jail fits in nicely, and doesn't seemed forced (as it does in some entries.) I'm not big on "undead" armies, but this tower could fit several other themes.

Overall, magnificent job lolas. Coming from me, that doesn't mean much. But, wow, really nice.

I'm echoing everything he said. It looks like something lego would even make an actual set. Keep it up.

Very impressive. I love the picture of the whole thing opened up. Not that it functions in anyway like this, but it looks like one of those Russian doll things that open up to find a smaller one (now that is an idea just screaming for a MOC). I really like the causeway/bridge part.

The only thing it needs is an actual sorcerer/necromancer and not just the skeleton guy with a wizard hat...

Steve, who now wonders if it is possible to have an undead necromancer?

There is a lot of good architectural detail here. Also, the fact that you can separate the pieces is a great idea. This is one of the highlight pieces of this contest.

Very very nice work. I like the architecture, with all its detail AND logical workings! This is a great size to work in, I found that out with my WP fortress redux (I know, a bit bigger, but same basic idea) And it allows for alot of the super work you've done here with out needing a huge collection.

Anyways, as you can tell by my blabbering I really do like this MOC alot, you've done yourself proud with this one!

A beautiful clean and clear design. Very well built. I like this a lot, the simplicity (not that it is simple, just the image it presents) makes a very powerful impression. Great work!

God Bless,

Nathan

At first glance, this MOC screams "winner". The building is clean and has nice touches, and the landscaping is very nicely done. Good job.

Nice! Complex & interesting to look at but still looks very much like an actual set. Great job

Now THAT looks like a winning entry! Every inch of the MOC is well built...and then it opens up to boot. The great photography work helps too.

The rat gargoyle/statue is a nice touch. The first story arrow slits and the recessed rounded windows are also nice. Who's locked in the tower cell?

Undeads locked three knights in the cell.
You can see them in my gallery

nice! I like how it opens up, and the architecture! The name "undead tower" doesn't suit it much because of the color theme, but other than that it GREAT!

I only see two. But this is a great tower, well made, and the scene is nice (the zomummeton [zombie+mummy+skeleton] falling off the bridge), very cool.
This is a great MOC you've got here.
