Arghyr Teur prison tower

Post by wobnam »

This is my first castle creation. I've learned a lot building from building it, but I'd love to know what you think, too, so comments and criticism are very welcome.

That's cool. Love the upside-down look to it.

Awesome :)
I love al the slopes and SNOT you've used, especially the 1x3 slopes on the corners, they look great.
The only things that I don't really like are the slopes on the tree, and you could maybe use more different colors on the rocks, they look a little too plain. you could for example use dark green or sand green slope on the bottom so it looks like there is moss growing on them.

I hope you come to Legoworld next year, so we can make our castle layout even nicer :wink:

Superb job Wobnam! This is much better than my first castle MOC, I must admit.

I love the fantasy feel it gives, with the top being larger than the base. It certainly has a unique feel to it.

This is certainly FAR superior to my first public castle MOC!!!

You have successfully avoided the big-grey-wall syndrome, have included fantastic structural details, and made a very unique structure. All to be applauded! I'm not so sure I did the up-side-down-ness, but that's really personal taste.

The mini drawbridge is great, and I love the 1x3 slopes snotted to the corners.

Very well done sir!

That is awesome! Your structural details are impressive! I like all the SNOTted architecture you've got going there. The fantasy look is great too.

God bless.

Yeah, overall this is very nice, but those SNOT'ed 1 x 3 slopes are genius. Very nice!

You have some good work here. I love the use of cheese slopes and way you have done the sides of the tower. The drawbridge is nice as well.

Very unique and intriguing, I like your style a lot! The perspective is excellent and the model engrossing.

Well done and God Bless,

I saw this earlier on The Brothers Brick and made a comment similar to Kibosh's :P

Anyway, nice work, and I hope to see more from you soon!

Statical mayhem! :D I love LEGO because you can create things which'd most probably collapse in real life.

Great idea for a prison! Esaping really isn't an option there... Cool landscaping too!

:lol: So true!

I particularly like the upside down arches - it took me a moment to figure out how you did them. Very clever!
