[Freebuild] Medieval Break In

[SimWies]

My entry to the 12x12 vignette category of this years Summer Joust 2024. (My very first MOC)

"Tax money is collected, stored and protected. But how about it being stolen. A scene how it could happen in any city of Avalonia"

The way you did the dark grey stones on the edge of the lower story is pretty neat!  Neat interior too.  A really nice little first MOC.

Wow, what a great build, and a first build at that!  I love it!  You used the footprint very efficiently here, and the lines are all very clean and smooth.  Your use of the stone wall as the base for the wood floor eliminated the 'brown plate in the grey wall' issue, and it looks great.  I love that the tax collector up top is not at a right angle to the scene.  The thief climbing up the wall just ahead of the patrol is well done and funny!  The stonework on the outer wall is really fantastic, and you have a great use of the tiles to interlock at the corner, which is not particularly easy to do.  The Tudor section up top looks nice, and I appreciate how you chose the colors to be visible on both sides to save on space on this small footprint requirement.  I also appreciate that you took the time to think of lighting and included torches, a nice detail sometimes overlooked.  Lastly, the inclusion of a few masonry bricks on the inside of the wall helps sell the 'bricked' look from the outside without having to make another tiled inner wall.  Great job, and look forward to more of your work!

Thank you @Grover for your detailed feedback and very kind words! I am especially proud of the stonework and happy that you mentioned it. I had great fun putting together this scene and am looking forward to my next build.

The stonework is really cool. I like that you used brackets instead of travis bricks so that the walls meet nicely in the corner and don't have that half plate offset. And you have many nice details on such a small footprint. Nice work! Keep it up :-)

Great job showing both the exterior and interior - it works very well with the story.
