A bad chipmunk? Ouch. That's a pretty cool idea. Looks like a wolf to me.
Nice job!

Another creative idea. The 'talons' are great. Seems like something that
would scare away any killer 'Crocs in a moat or some such. :) I kinda hate
to say something 'bad'.. and hopefully it isn't taken as such..but the shape
almost reminds me more of a.. well.. a pheasant than it does a
falcon..(waits to be put on the list with your wife over calling your MOCs
silly names!) but hey.. It's still an awesome idea.

Now THIS is just.. wow. _Very_ nice. I really like the winding path up to
the fortress through the rock foundation. It's something I've realized I'm
struggling with badly - figuring out a good placement/pattern for use of BURP's
to make them look natural.. I like how you did it. Guess I need to study up
and experiment more (and spending less time trying to complete my
space/mecha themed stuff..gah.).
The levels are all nice. I like the abundant use of the 2x3 slopes. It
really gives me a sense of forboding strength - like it would take an awful
lot to crack through or assault one of those walls.
Some questions for you -
1. What set did you get the torso for your Warlord of Blakk fig from? It
seems familiar but I'm just blanking on what it belongs to?
2. I might have just missed it in the pic's but where does the large door
for the stable come out on the pathway, as seen in this pic?

I've looked and I just don't see it on the outside.. :)

As well you should be with MOC's like this! Thanks for sharing, Bill.
Please, keep it up!
