This is nice and simple, and the construction looks really sound. The landscape profile is good too.

What I like most is the architectural detail of the tower, particularly in the arches. It seems to be a running theme throughout the aesthetics of the tower, conforming to a particular style. I like the archers too. :wink:

Excellent job! Everything about this MOC is very well done! It's fairly small, but shows a ton of appropriate detail and alot of thought. This is an excellent example of why one doesn't need a huge collection to make a GREAT MOC!

I love the upside-down crenellations and slits/windows all around. The landscaping is superb, as is the fig posing.

I'm blown away!

The inverted arches you have used for crenalatinos are awesome. Very original. Good luck!

I like your take on the upside down battlements on the top of the tower. The entire setup of this looks very nice. Well done.

I agree with everyone else about the upside down arches used on the tower's top--they look great! I also like how the archers are positioned so that they're aiming at their enemies. Too often archer MF's are just standing there holding their bows so that the arrows are pointed off to the side...mine included. :oops:

This moc has a very clean look to it. Its simple, yet it looks good that way.
Those upside down arches are fantastic! They make excellent battlements.
I like how you conveyed the sense of action too, with the archers in the tower and the crossbow men on the ground shooting at each other.
Also, excellent photography! I love clear, crisp pictures.

Wow, I REALLY like this, but what's with the lack of shields? After the contest I wanna see more photos.

Soldiers dont need shields. I love this tower. I think you did a great job, and also with the designing of the tower walls.

Very nice! The battlements are very creative and the arrow slits are also well done (thought they would suit a crusader castle better ; ) I would like to see a slightly more imposing version of the tower, as it seems a little basic, but the excellent landscaping more than makes up for this!

Great work and God Bless,

Nathan
