My build for Round 3 of The Tourney at MOCpages. Halhi141, Infernum, and Brick all gave me helpful suggestions for this build. Credit for the lantern design goes to Brick, though I modified it slightly. This was an extremely fun build. I tilted the wood sections using ball joints, for the first time. The idea of the build was to create a wacky, and whimsical atmosphere. Hence the unusual colorscheme for the build.
There's a full interior, and the elevator actually works. Also Amfridus has devised a bucket system whereby he procures water without leaving his home.
Amfridus the Inventor lives in his tower outside of Guaire. Unlike some inventors, he is very friendly. Naysayers claim his chemical experiments have polluted the stream which runs by his home, but the plentiful aquatic life seems to show otherwise. Rego and Dedan pay Amfridus a visit hoping to procure some new inventions and potions that will give them an edge in The Tourney.

Re: Amfridus the Inventor
Wow, I really like all the Derfel-style angles and the intensive detailing! The colors looks good too, very original and not something you see often, but they work here. I appreciate how this is not just a square, flattish base with a single wall(something I am very guilty of ), but really a very 3-dimensional model, with lots of things to catch the eye, especially well executed with the rocks and river underneath. All in all one of your best IMO. You and your bro both have really been outdoing yourselves recently. Keep it up!

Lol, by that I meant: "You guys have really been doing better and better lately. Keep up the awesome MOCs!"

Re: Amfridus the Inventor
Awesome work! You really did achieve a whimsical atmosphere. The use of the purple and touches of pink is excellent, also the somewhat bubbly-looking smoke coming out of the chimney fits it all very well. And I think the choice of beard for the Inventor is spot on.

Re: Amfridus the Inventor
One of my favorites from you yet! The angled window in the rockwork and leaves on the roof look fantastic!
Great bridge too

Re: Amfridus the Inventor
Awesome angles and rockwork, great color usage, and amazing job with the working elevator! I also love how haphazard the windows look and the purple stream is a great touch. Fantastic build!

@Brickninja: Thanks Brick, I really like including interesting landscapes as a base for my buildings
@josdu: Thanks
@Maedhros: Thanks! Glad you like the smoke design, I thought it fit well.
@LittleJohn: Thanks John, I think you're the first to mention the leaves on the roof.
@AardWolf: Thank you, glad you noticed the window placement, the ones in the stone are actually tilted slightly.
