Wow! That;s really awesome! Fantastic brick work, the wall is awesome, the mushrooms are cool (:-D) and it's neat how you've shown the 3 different stages! *y* *y* Where'd the name come from?

I love all of the people building the fortification and how much detail you put into it. It really adds to the MOC and makes it feel like they are preparing for a major assault. I would love to see more soldiers, but other than that it is great.

I have no words to describe my feelings about this MOC.

It's amazing by a factor of 10 !

I looked at the 3 pictures in sequence and witnessed how this beautiful nature scene was transformed into this gray wall.

Each scene on it's own is *wub* but the three scenes together are 10x *wub* .

How long did it take you to build these?

[Brickmaster]

Thats absolutely beautiful! *wub*

Simply amazing work.

[Asuka]

Simply an amazing and very wonderful work, ingeniously and full of great details! :'-) *wub*

[DNL]

thanks for the compliments!

How long did it take you to build these?

3 days, i built one stage each day.

[Wout]

Very nice, good luck with the competition. :-)

[Bonaparte]

3 days, i built one stage each day.

Only 3 days. You must have build quite some hours on those days.

Did you make sketches first?

Or did you just start with only the idea in your head?

i didn't make sketches, but i did make a prototype of the wall.

Great MOC! I like all three stages, but especially the one in which they are building the wall. *wub*

[TheFrisian]

I would love to see more soldiers, but other than that it is great.

Actually, assuming this wall is part of a series of fortifications around a town, I wouldn't expect to see more than one sentry on guard on this tiny section. Even then it would require quite a lot of soldiers to patrol the entire length of the town wall.

Man I hope this wins. It's really cool how you built it show the wall's proggression. I really like the pics of the walls when it's half-way built. Good luck on the contest.

[Siegfried]

Congrats on your much deserved win in CCCV! *sweet*

[Asuka]

Very fine indeed, congrats! *y*

[hollisbrick]

Congradulations on your win! *y* *y* thats one of the best MOcs of ever seen *wub* but i cant seem to see the 3rd pic?

anyway great job *y*

[MagPiesRUs]

I could've sworn I commented on this before *wacko*

DNL, your MOC is fantastic *wub* Clever idea to make three stages in the city's life *sweet* My favourite is the second stage - packed with detail, the scaffolding, mortar and rocks are brilliantly done in a scene full of life *wub* Other things worth mentionign is the great roof on the small shack and the complete wall.

Congratulations, you deserved to win *wub*

[nausicaakro]

wow, i think that we have a masterpiece here.
