Gaurded Inn

Post by Shoes »

I built randomly while waiting for pieces from bricklink and i liked the way
it turned out...

It is an Inn/Tavern that doubles as a gaurd post for the lion Knights

So... Here it is,

Thank You-

It has some nice touches to it. I like the bottom part, but when its gets to the top tower, it can because a bit... I don't know, unappealing (In my opinion). Very good otherwise!

Very nice design - it took my sleep deprived mind a moment to appreciate that the right side of the tavern scene was an extension of the left. For a moment I was wondering why there was a classroom in your creation, which seemed slight out of place, before my mind put the left and right together. *sigh* time to catch up on some sleep. Lee.

My only complaint is that there are no ladders or stairs; the people are trapped!

Other then that, it looks good! Nice job.

I noticed someone else was put off a little from the top of the tower. That was the first thing I noticed, even though everything else looks superb.

I will add, though, that the four prongs isn't a bad idea. It would look better to make the pillars taller... maybe change out the inverted slopes for longer ones like a 4x2x1.

This Moc Doesn't Mean anything to me (In Fact Is Already Destroyed and
Sorted) Most of the ideas used here are just experimentals, I love the
constructive criticism, however keep in mind this was built using spare
peices that had no purpose in my castle(WIP) so far, Thank you For your comments.

I like the construction of the MOC, but I think it almost has too much gray. If you ever do another like it, using red, black or brown for the roof slopes would give it a much better visual appeal.
