Hello!
Here is my latest creation, Rewnsill Outpost:
I'm not particularly pleased with how the pictures turned out, but it's the best I can do at the moment.

Well done with the detailing of the walls. In addition I like how you have incorporated the BURPS w/out overpowering the creation.

Great stuff, I saw this on BS earlier & I really like the multi leveling of the landscape & the tudor / stone combination of the structure itself. Nice job

Very well done. I like how you've embedded the building into the rocks, since it really makes the whole structure look more natural. The wall design is simple but very well done, and your mottling is also excellent. Overall, a great MOC!

Very nice! I like the way you added green to the top of the rocks, since it helps break up the outline of the BURPS. Also, the building itself is beautifully constructed. Will you be entering this in CCV?

Nice Job On the Structure but the landscape looks fantastic... sometimes simple is better

Excellent MOC. Everything looks nice and clean. The angled wall gives it a nice touch and the tower has some nice work on it also. What technique did you use to have that small spacing in the wall? "Mottling"I think it was called. Did you possibly use 1 x 2s with a single stud?

Yes, I used "

Yes, I saw this on Brickshelf earlier too. I really like how parts of it are kinda "built in" to the terrain.

Nice MOC. Looks rather "Churchy" though...
