"Hello boat, come to and show yourself. Be warned, if you try anything, you will
have an arrow shaft in your chest before you can lift your bow!"
"Hush Bjarne, if I meant to harm to you and the garrison, you would be sprouting
arrows from your eyes before you knew it."

The Watchtower at Fjordthrotte is a small stone tower on a tiny island, intended
to give warning when raiders sail into the Fjord. I made it several months ago,
but it wasn't until Saturday that I had a few hours free of the kids to set it
up and take a few pictures of it (the lighting is an odd color in the one).
Once again, I'm using my daughter's Jam Cam, the quality isn't the best, but
it's portable and cheap. I also had to borrow a head from my daughter's female
soccer (football) set, I couldn't find one my mine in short order.
PLMKWYT,
Thanks,
George

| (...) Hi George, I like your watchtower. The little dock and natural stone steps are neat. The entrance doors are beautiful (when is Lego going to make 1x4x6 doors in brown?!!!) Your sailboat is also very cool. I like the massiveness of the tower. (...) (21 years ago, 23-Jun-03, to lugnet.castle)

| Hello! Nice little watchtower! It looks quite compact and solid. The use of different shades of grey may stem from your limited stock of grey pieces but it doesn't derogate the model at all. Quite the contrary! (...) Hey, Don't say the quality of (...) (21 years ago, 25-Jun-03, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

| (...) I too like this tower. What makes it come more alive is the back-story you give it. Well done! It has a true-to-Norse-life feel to it. Old Norse behaviour was brought to my attention through the book "Farfarers" by Farley Mowat. It's more of a (...) (21 years ago, 26-Jun-03, to lugnet.castle)

| (...) Great idea for a moc! I was particularly intrigued by the small boat with the wing for a sail. Thought the tower could be a little more irregular in shape or show damage from erosion. This diorama nicely sets the mood and location of the (...) (21 years ago, 27-Jun-03, to lugnet.castle)
