That is pretty slick. I hope the gent living there has a warm room, living that close to sea seems cold. I like the detail you added to the water as well with the foam!

Very cool idea a light house. Love that song as well.

Very pretty. Almost ... idyllic. I like the design of the upper levels, with the arches, pillars, and open spaces.

Your treatment of the water and waves catches my fancy very nicely.

PS The whole thing is great, but it's the water for me.

Wow! The whole thing is nice, but those waves are certainly unique! I may have to use them....

But I'll be sure not to put to fine upon on them....

Not bad, but I won't be happy with it till I see the thousand screaming argonauts.

I think this shows the bird house post killing, Tony.

I really like this!
The tower itself looks fantastic.
It has just enough detail to make it appealing but not so much to make it over-crowded.
The interior details are great. I like the way you made the ladder built into the wall, that was cool.

Where did you get the red bird piece from?
It looks like one piece, unless my eyes are playing tricks on me?

Great MOC!
I like the studdless water, and the waves are great.
the climbing plants on the pillars are a nice detail.
I also like the top of the tower, that's a nice technique.

It comes from this Harry Potter set.

I believe there is also a classic plume on the bird's head, which I didn't know was possible.

Anyway, it's a great tower, E.

Thanks everyone, I'm glad everyone appreciated the water!

It went through a couple of versions before it came out looking as nice as it does now!

The interior was also fun, the sideways log bricks as the wood floor especially. That arch to the ladderway was a pain to integrate!
