Tower In Turkey CCCVII EML

A fortified watch tower in the middle east. This section of town has been taken over by the crusaders on their holy quest to retake Jerusalem. The wooden structure has slits to allow archers to fire bows through at the enemy.

The market behind the tower, showing a slice of daily life. The man is bringing his sheep to sell at the market, while the woman butchers up another helpless pheasant.

The soldiers inside of the watch tower

(However, I'm informed that the the moc has no historical value what soever, because turkey didn't exist until the 1900s, and Turkey wasn't involved in the crusades. Regardless of the title, my ideas should come across in the moc.)

This is really nice. I like the angling of the walls and the cobbled floor. A lovely little scene.

Cream is a colour, but we call them tan bricks.

This is really nice. :)
I like the arch in the market. The ladder is neat too, cool use of robot arm. The mottling effect looks great.
...and that's how Equestria was made!

Good MOC. I really like the mottled look and the hoarding beside the tower is very cool, and I might add well done. It has a nice feel to it though I have only seen pictures of Turkey so can only imagine it.

Very nicely done. The tower is great. I especially like the wooden structure on the side of the tower. I haven't seen that in many MOCs. I also like the way of creating the veil for the woman. Nice use of an existing piece from a different theme.
