I'll second friskywiskers on that this is a really nice MOC. The third scene seals it, I can imagine the brave knight defending when all hope fails. Very well built MOC.

I really like that in each shot I get the whole MOC - I can see the details of what is going on, while still getting in the scene. Very lovely setup/photography as well as a good build.

I'm not going to lie, the last scene/poem gave me goosebumps. Well done!!

Did you write the lines yourself, or are they from something? Overall great builds and lots of NPU!

Keep up the good work! :mrgreen:

There are a couple of things I really liked about this one. For the first scene, I liked the big windows, it took me a second to realize that the blue was sky and clouds because I'm so used to seeing stained glass windows, or just blank windows. Nice effect, I thought that was pretty cool.

I also really liked the fig posing in the last scene. The guy laying in the corner was a nice touch and I liked the guys frantically trying to block the door.

The rhyme was also great, and I thought all three scenes overall made for a nice storyline.

Good luck in the contest!
