Quoting Sebeus I The thoughest one to judge so far, in the end I decided to vote for you, this whole build is a beautiful fantasy location, great job.

Quoting Matthew Oh YES!!!! You won Mark! To round 4! Man, that was very exciting and scary, wanting you to win, with 1 vote for both of you. Awesome job Mark!

Quoting Leda Kat =^..^= Mark, firstly I hope that you have some nails left and haven't chewed them all the way up to your elbows! And secondly I have to say mate that you have been pronounced Officially Awesome. I am happy to lose to such a great artist such as yourself and I couldn't think of a better build to go out against than this. Those trees just blow me away and the general composition and delicate techniques and details that are throughout show that you are the next up and coming big thing to hit this site. I hope to see you all the way to the final. Don't disappoint me!

Quoting Timothy Wallace Congrats on getting to R4 Mark! I was checking this MOC every day to check if you won and now that you won I'll be following you till the end.

Quoting Justin M Wow, Mark. 102 Likes. Not to shabby! ;)

Quoting Paul Vermeesch This could honestly be the toughest matchup I've judged this round. While Leda's variety and presentation style that she gave us was really enjoyable, my vote goes to you. The quality of your detail and compositional techniques just added to the "wow" factor here. The touch with the interior just put it over the top for me. This was an interesting round because you were both able to build within your comfort zones to some extent, but in the end, your MOC was just a bit more solid in my perspective. It looks like Sebeus will have the final say here, I think you've totally got what it takes to make it to round 4.

Quoting Blake Baer 100! Grats Mark.

Quoting Chris Phipson My vote goes to your opponent. ~ Chris.

Quoting Leda Kat =^..^= This is simply stunning Mark. A true masterpiece in every sense of the word. Wonderful details throughout, even an interior for the lodge! I was reading the comments just now and I honestly didn't realise you were only a TFOL! By your skill level I had assumed you were an old master of the brick hiding in your underground den like us mad AFOLs do, despising the light and human company... Gorgeous colours and texture and wonderful design on the lodge. I don't even need to wish you luck here, because honey, you've got it in the bag.

Quoting LukeClarenceVan The Revanchist Mark, the amount of awe I'm in is beyond words. In the last round you stepped up your game to build one of your greatest MOCs outside of your comfort zone, and in this round you've returned to your comfort zone to show us all what you are truly capable of. Despite my aversion to non-LEGO accessories, I admit that the leaves work very well here, especially with your superb tree building skills. The landscaping on the whole is amazing (no surprise there), but the lodge stands out as well. The architecture is flawless and eye-catching, and I really like the beams that support it behind the rocky foundation. The amount of detail and thought that went into this is quite evidently very much, which makes the fact that it was constructed in so short a time-frame all the more inspiring. Truly you've cemented your status as the best speed builder around, and as one of the top TFOLs on the internet. Masterful MOC, if anything will take Leda down it's this.

Quoting Blake Baer I would have paid a lot of money to get my hands on some of those leaves when Rivendell was up. Boy, your scene is gorgeous though. Awesome, awesome, awesome job Mark, and best of luck with the judges as you face one of MOCpages best.
