Angled tower

Post by The dark tide »

Here is a tower I completed a while back. Unfortunately it now lies in ruins but you can still look at the pictures. Sorry about the fuzzy pics. Hope you like it.

Nice MOC!
I especially like the shape (?) of it.
Maybe you should enter this in castle fortification!?

i like the overall feel of the MOC, but I particularly like how you included the 45 degree walls into the design
a very nice piece or work
is there an interior to it?

I love the shape of the tower, the tree, the spears in barrels, and the use of the lion heads in the bridge columns. Fantastic.

I like this moc. The angle is nicely done. My only comment is the pilars (?) of the bridge. They seem a bit to small and so to weak to support the bridge.

It looks very nice, but were the bricks for the gatehouse modified? It looks shaved on the inside so the gate will fit.

Otherwise, looks great!

This looks good - I really like your tree. There is also a lot of interesting brickwork in the walls to keep it interesting - well done. I would have to agree with Ristriden on the bridge pillars being a little small though, but great stuff

No its not modified in any way. Thanks for the comments. I actually thought the same thing about the pillars on the bridge but I never got around to fixing it.

Good job! Great shape, and very nice. The only thing is that it seems too grey, for me that is. Of course, no offense. Great tower!!

I like the way it is angled, and the way you have broken up the wall. Nice work!

This has an Osgiliath-ish feel to it. Irregular towers are always more interesting. Good landscaping too. You could enter it in CCC4 I suppose...
