I like the look of your tower. It has everything a good MOC needs, but it would be nicer if it was bigger. And with some interior pics.
Too bad you are short on gray. A pain I know too well

.
But I really like the building, so keep showing these fine works.

This moc does look very well. Its nice even though its small, imo. the foliage on the burp on the right side looks nice as well. Good build keep it up.

Very cool. I like seeing the progress you make. When you ge to a point in the future where you have time you should put all the pictures togther to show the development it has had.

It looks good. The little covered entrance and the red stais are a nice look.

Thanks, I like the stairs as well,
Size wise, For this piece I didn't want to make it bigger. I had enough bricks left to do more but stopped as I liked the look of it.

This one had no interior.

I'm still ordering more light gray (as I sell other stuff in my shop)

It's a nice outpost than can be of strategic value in the defence of the land. Enemy forces can be seen from a great distance allowing for mobilisation in time.

I like the windows..

Nice. This seems like it might be a lego set, being sort of smaller than minifig scale. Or at least that's the feeling I get when I look at this.

P.I

Yeah, I sort of smegged up with the front door a little. It was only when I put the minifigs in place that I realised it was a bit too small.

Ok then, next one will be bigger!!

It's cute, I like it. It packs some neat little details in while remaining compact. I think the only thing that doesn't sit right with me for some reason is the transition to the top floor of the tower. The slopes on the front are nice, but something seems off. It's either because there are no inverse slopes beneath it, or that the slopes don't go all the way around the tower (which could be a brick limitation too, if you don't have enough of the corner slopes, it can't be pulled off as effectively).
Red carpet treatment

Well done, you spotted my architectural mistake. haha.

I Didn't mean it to turn out that way because it wasn't till I was at the top of building the tower that I knew what was going to be on top. So when I chose the arches design it was a bit off.

I may rebuild it tonight to get it right.

Tower looks good. You prevented the tower from looking boring by adding some good architactual details to it. Nice work and keep it up!

Not bad. It will be interesting to see what you can build once you have more grey bricks.
