In general these days, I don't like the direction that microscale is taking. It all seems so random these days, what some people call NPU, I call horrible part usage. Maybe I'm a bit too traditional, or don't think abstractly enought, but I think a lot of it is really ugly. Not yours though

Yours has just the right amount of randomness, and the "random parts" like the claw, chain, and peg leg are used well, because the viewer can actually tell what they are supposed to be. The leaf parts and the trees work well in the base, and I love the use of those gears at the top of that tower. Great job!
