[MOC] Riverwatch Falls

[mvk]

Riverwatch Falls

A watchtower protecting a bridge over a wild river, situated just above a small waterfall. Semaphore tower with signal engineers, signal fire and drawbridge included.

Built as part of a Local Challenge for the Lands of Roawia.

A cool creation, especially the tree.

Very atmospheric build you did there! Love the Tower architecture and the little bathing area!

[Exetrius]

No way... Is that a functional signing post!? That is so cool! :thumbup:

Besides the main attraction (the castle) here's something I noticed that I thought was interesting. Instead of leaving the dark bley wall, you put slopes in it to break up the monotony. To you, sir, I say great work!

Looks great.

I like the whole build itself. a Bright and 'happy' scenery.

One of the things I really like is the waterfall, and the stairs to the 'beach'.

Love it, the tower looks very good, the drawbridge is awesome. The river itself is very cheerful and nice.

Semaphore towers are quite rare in the Lego world (I can only think of one more here on EB) and this one is lovely. The structure is nice with the brown over grey and the basic architecture is good. In my opinion you can't go wrong with bridges beside waterfalls, and the rest of the scene looks naturally placed as well. The tree design is a little more basic, and due to it's size I think it detracts from the tower a little, but that's strictly up to you. I really like the drawbridge and overall this is very nice. Good work.

Absolutely gorgeous!

The building looks amazing and the waterfall is just stunning.

Very impressive stuff

In retrospect, I agree that the tree doesn't really fit with the rest. It was the first large tree I have built in years, and I haven't found a style that fits me.

To be fair, the main topic of the challenge was water, so it is rather the other way around, the tower got too big for the whole MOC and unintentionally became a focal point. I didn't think it through and i kept getting bigger and bigger.

Great selection of characters and techniques.

[Graham Gidman]

This is awesome in so many ways. Love that waterfall!

[Schreeuwwitje]

Damn, could you people perhaps stop making these so god damn high quality :( Love it mate :)!

[Isundir]

Phenomenal, the build is an excellent example of how beautiful clean style can be I love your design, I wish I had even just half your skill

Nice fort, and good landscaping. Keep it up!

[Stelario]

What's the point of having drawbridge if you can use a ledge to pass it? Also there is no gate so after I pass the bridge I have like 5 studs space to go inside.

Except that it's a really nice MOC. Waterfall and tree are really good.

[Fletcher Floyd]

Fantastic work!

So many great Details! Totally cool!

[Blufiji]

Great scenary sir.

[soccerkid6]

Beautiful build packed with lots of interesting details to appreciate The non-standard layout of the fortress is really attractive, as is the double waterfall layout

[Ninja Bomb]

The architecture, bridge, water features and signal tower are wonderful. But the sense of humor in this build is absolutely priceless!
