All sorts of nifty details! :)

Beautiful MOC! I love that wall design with all the slope pieces.

like the detail!!!

Wow! The detail on the walls is amazing! Great job with this!

Cheers! Hot. very, very hot :P Cheers, Thoy! thanks!

Wonderfully done Tim!

Yay! You're back! I like the landscape in this MOC and the tower design is fantastic! Btw, how is Australia?

The swamp is great, but the real highlight is, I think, the random bricks on the walls. Incredible effect!

Love all the technics you used here. very nice result!!

Looking good Tim. I see your brick arsenal has expanded again :) Aussie has been good for that so far. lots of great details, and I love the rustic look of the wild foliage.

funny scene, and love the rock work on this!

Good to see that you settled down and that you are building again. Lots of interesting details here.

Pretty fantastic build! The walls are so intricate, very very nice work! The foliage is also done very well too!

Cheers, LWC Guy and MC for the C&C. I did have some landscape, but you can't see it well in the pics, unfortunately. I'll definately take your advice to heart, thanks a lot! and cheers to everyone else, too! :D

Awesome! You have a lot of great techniques here: the root system of the tree is ingenious and the tower wall is quite nice. I agree with LWC, though: your landscape could use just a bit of variation. Other than that, fantastic job! Glad to hear you're moved in and building again.

Great Creation! You did a lot of work in the swamp, trees and watch tower detail. Can't wait to see more! :)

Fascinating build Tim! Some very unusual yet cool techniques presented here. It's nice to see you posting again. :)

Nice job! I love the technique for the bottom section of the tower walls and the mangrove tree is great! --Blast--

Great to see you back and building! I love your wall design and your figures are great. The vnes running up the wall look especially good. Excellent work, two thumbs up! :)

awesome!

Some really inventive stuff in here. Well done! -LB Senior

Wow, very cool! I love the vine! Great walls!

You should move more often, it does you good! ;) As always, great work Tim :D

Nice! Never seen those seen those stone footpaths go vertical like that--Clever!!

Fascinating technique for the base of the tower.

The build is good, but I am going to expand off of what LWC guy said. Add more land. You need high spots low spots, open patches, rocks and not so much folliage on a flat base. That mangrove tree needs to be closer to the water, because to me, it looks more like a Mongolia. About the water, Get that stuff contained bro! It's a nice technique, but you need to have that thing be part of the base, not just split it in two.The loose stuff is fine, but you should really have it be part of a full base. The tower is also good, well, at least the sections of it are good. You have the base, the middle, and the top. All three in their respects are good, but it's like taking three different building, slicing them into thirds and just taking each section and putting it with the wrong parts. The middle and the top go together more than the base, but it's still odd looking. The base is fantastic, that loos brick design looks great, now, if that was throughout the whole build, or part of a big castle that looked like that all the way around, that would look so cool. Techniques are most successful when they are not put up against a completely different technique. The build is still good, but it needs work.

Great to see a new post. I expect that means you have set up a new building operation in Aus now. The crazy paving walls are an especially nice technique.

Tim! Cool build, there's some great details going on with that tower. But Tim, your castle builds seem to lack composition. Castle builds of this type (a medium sized MOC where the focus is on the surroundings as much as the structure) need to have some more natural placement to them, not just a a tower sitting on a base with a whole bunch of foliage and a stream running by. Shaping the base differently helps, but may not be necesary. Picture a medieval scene and chop out the part of it you want to build. When you build from a flat base, don't think of it as your base landscape which you add all you features and details to. A landscape rolls and flows, it generally isn't a long flat plain unless you're building in the desert, then it looks a lot more natural. Build your landscape and place your structure on it where you can see the majority of the build at attractive angles from one point of view. Hope that makes sense :)

Nice work, the figures look great
