That is beautiful. I like the use of the ship steering wheel thingy as a chandelier.

I remember seeing this on Brickshelf a while ago and thinking to myself, "Wow, that guy really made raised baseplates look awesome!" That has always been a tough thing to do and that tower is superb!

There are some things I really like and a few things I dislike here.
Likes:
Great use of the raised baseplate
Use of the turret top piece as a balcony in the shorter tower
Wall details using clips and black 1x1 round plates in the shorter tower
Detailing around the windows in the taller tower
The little drawbridge between the towers
Dislikes:
The transitions between gray and tan are kind of jarring
Technic pin bricks by the windows on the top level of the taller tower

You have a nice moc here. I like what you have done with the small tower quite a bit. I'm not really a fan of the raised baseplate but I must say you make it look not so bad. Good work.

wow... I could say so much... I like the skellie climbing tools, and I especially liked was the inside of the tower. I don't like, though, that no one is dying, not even a skellie. Other than that, it's beautiful.

Wow. Just wow.

How did you make that brown ladder looking thing the skellies are climbing? I'd love to see a closer look at that!

This is a great MOC. I really like the design of the tower, which looks almost like it's going to fall over its so tall. A great fantasy MOC, to be sure!

This is great. The inside decor is very well done. I like the flag pole at the top of the big tower. I too, would like to know how you made the skellie ladder.

Wow, nicely built, great looking. I like your choice of color.

Wow...that is an incredible tower. I echo everything said before, but I'd also like to congratulate you on your excellent use of a very hard-to-use baseplate. I like the random feel the tower has. It's not just one straight, uniform chunk of rock. It really has a personality all its own. I love the little drawbridge spanning the towers. And I also would like to know how you constructed the ladder/stair the skellies are climbing. I have a guess, but I don't want to make a fool out of myself by being wrong. Well done.

Wow How did you create exactly what I wanted most when I was thirteen?

Really, very inspiring tower man!

(though I do have to agree with Bruce that the tan kind of jups out a bit much)

Thaks all for comments!
Some of you wanted to know, how the skellie ladder is made... So it's not a ladder, but wooden stairs. This link is the new uploaded foto (when public) of it on the BL: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/gearc ... 170081.jpg

Ohhhhhhh.... Funny! From the reverse angle, it looked like a bunch of wooden slats sticking out from a cylindrical core. Now I see the core is a railing!

The old eyes playing tricks on me...

Still a very nice build!

That's what I thought it was, but I just wanted to be sure. Thanks, Michal H./gearcs!
