hello!

i built this small castle, because i wanted to practise making a diagonal castle wall, and a very detailed tower:

please tell me what you think about it, and how i can improve the diagonal wall.

hmm i really like it - wall is good, but tower is too big for me. Base of tower is good but i don`t like the top.

An excellent start, the proportion of this MOC need a little work but you are definitely headed in the right direction!

God Bless,

Hmmm, a diagonal wall. Looks good. Can't think of any ideas for it though.

I like it a lot. seems very realistic to me. The main tower could be a keep or just a tower. Could be a part of a larger MOC or a stand alone. I like the diagonal wall, you did great on it. This is not a boring MOC at all.

Needs some minifigs walkin the wall though.

thanks!

it was just to trie, so i did not use minifigs yet.

i think i will make a larger MOC of it, but i did not have time to do it yet.

Wow, DNL. Thats pretty good. I have always been puzzled on how to do that type of stuff.

P.I

Looks great, as the others have said, it is a very realistic design. Regarding the diagonal wall though I think you can get it to look a little better if you were to use brick hinges at the corners & green tiles underneath the wall to make it appear "attached" to the landscape. Hope that helps

It looks good ,but it looks like it can open...maybe some things to connect it to each other would do it some good.Well I like it...Great job.

Well executed wall. I like the MOC as a whole as well. It's a very nice looking fortress. Curved/rounded/diagonal walls are difficult, but I like your solution here.

Very nice nice! The diagonal wall is good, and also the way you used the long inverted slopes for the tower creates a cool effect. Good job!

Nice looking diagonal wall. I have indeed noticed that some castles have their curtain walls at various angles to each other, and to the keep, and so the need to re-create a diagonal wall with Lego bricks is a very important task. I think that you have achieved a successful result with your diagonal wall project. I personally want (and need) to create a diagonal wall for my upcoming Lego castle.

Overall, I would say that you have done a great job. Well done.
