Guarding Valholl

Post by soccerkid6 » Sat Apr 28, 2012 4:13 am

This is an entry for a mini-challenge over at Goh.

These walls are manned by soldiers from the lords and noblemen of Mitgardia, each owing a month of guarding some of the many fortifications around Valholl. All is quiet for now... (new scene to be added soon)

This is my first grey castle, and I love it. It is a section of wall with a tower guarding a road to Valholl. It also has a dock to receive supplies brought up the river. I hope you like it as much as I do :lol:
I think the wall technique is new, I used mostly bley log bricks with some normal bricks mixed in. In my opinion it gives a nice texture.
I tried a tiled roof and don't think I will ever be able to go back to plates :problem:

Here is a link to some pictures: http://www.legocreator57.tk/Mitgardian-border-watch.php
Any comments of criticism welcome!

Wonderful creation! So much great SNOT work as well. I like your rocks and the icy waterfall, the arow slits, the fact that you have ladders to reach the second and third floor, the snow cover, the door on the sally port, the crenelations, the cobblestones...

I could go on and on, but in summary it is a great creation. So much detail and so many great techniques. Very well done! I can't stop looking at the pictures. :-)
