The leader of the outlaws lives like a king in his hidden fortress, but will this luxury soon be over?

Good stuff, I don't recall seeing many foresty hideouts. I like the spiked fortifications.

Oh man... I hope you're not on my team.

Just kidding.

This is really top notch. Excellent stuff!

Some great stuff, Daniel! I love your style of building, very unique and, well, awesome!

I do have one bit of constructive criticism: the roofs probably shouldn't be red. I'm not sure if it is meant to be hidden at all, but I believe that is would look better with black or brown roofs.

Anyway, on to the praise:

The spears rule. Really.
I love the flowers with the lever bases. I might steal that idea in the future, if I may.
Beautiful rock-scaping!
I love the little stone tower. It has tons of great little architectural details, but it in no ways looks out of place.
The whole thing has a kind of thrown-together-over-a-longish-period-of-time feel to it, which I believe fits rather nicely.

OK, well, I can't spend too long sitting here and gaping. I have to go destroy my BrickCon stuff for pieces...

In Christ,

Another great piece of work! Your attention to detail and creativity makes me anticipate all of your MOCs.

Good job. A beautiful and well thought out moc.
Can't compete with that, but I hope Tiberium Blue will save me

Here's where being a Mod totally beats being an Admin... I can comment on all this stuff!

Anyway, the reason I'm happy to comment should be obvious: this is an awesome creation. The wood looks wooden, the rock looks rocky, and the vegetation looks vegetative. There is a strong quality of natural randomness to this creation that is the mark of a good landscaper--and the building is pretty to look at underneath its well-covered surface.

Well, that's some fine work. With only a few MOCs revealed so far, it looks like this year's contest is going to see the some fierce competition. It's a shame that you're on the wrong team though
