Yes Panos, thats a great lot of Steck!

In other news, l I got a box of loose parts today which has about 40 or so piece of wall and various other bits. Might start working on expanding tonight, because I also got another 3667. Also had some more Steck succes on Ebay today :-) And got a wizards workshop earlier this week!!!

Need to focus...where to start!

So much to do so little time :-)

With all the new Steck I of course couldnt resist building something (eventhough it's 2:10 am now)

So here is the Sages Tower for the village of Winterhaven!

In the first picture you can see roughly how big the tower is. It will stay the tallest building in the city standing at 5 steck high.

In the second picture you see that the shape of the tower makes it hard for flooring. I will make some custom floors from wood!

In the third picture I decided to try and capture the dominating presence of the tower. It's hard without anything to relate tom, but I think it works!

ENJOY!

That's a very nice tower.  It reminds me of the 1965 Universal film The Warlord.

Wow Gis, looking fab! I must get me some steck, but like many of us, don't have the free funds at the moment. Let us know if you win that big pile..I see it is well over 350 euro now.

Flooring wouldn't be too dificult for that tower Gis...
You could use the rounded floor pieces from set 5725 if you dont mind having small gaps in your floor sections. (Very small gaps... ;) )

I would like to congradulat you on the construction of that tower,
It is just the type of tower I was hoping to create though I never would have thought of this...
Mind if I "steal" the design? Not that I have enough steck to make it anyway,
But one day... ;D

Thanks for the kind words Justindo, Lindama, WoT and WK! I must admit that I was pretty pleased with the effect myself.

WoT thanks for your suggestion and I thought of it the only problem is I also want to install stairs and that means there is only room for 2 of the rounded floor pieces per level leaving lots of empty space. I will do it however as I don't have the time to make it in wood At the moment :-)

Debating what the built next I think the Main castle is going to be a challenge :-)
