Ok, Big Time! I did the theme build for Laketown PVP. Thought I'd give it a lil extra effort given the head builder Finrod was placed next to me. I did a small, maybe half or fourth sized model of Laketown with accompanying snow and smog and Smaug. Ill add attachments for specifics and a cover pic. Sorry for the repeats in thumbnails

Hey @MITHLONDEL
Laketown
Avoid the excessive detailing on your structures, try going for a more realistic/simplistic look. Adding fences to all your pillars just makes the builds look way too complex/weird. I think you could try taking more inspiration from real life or the movies. These can give you a good feeling of how your style should look, and show you the most important details you need to have to achieve this style.

Cirith Ungol
Better detailing than your lake town for sure. What I'd suggest here is first of all the lower wall looks way too low for a massive fortress like the one you made. Make it higher. Defensively it doesn't make sense for your outer towers to stick out that high above the second layer as once attackers take that first layer they can now shoot down on defenders which is definitely not ideal. Overall the plan on the server is not accurate to how it'll look in the end. I'm not even sure who made it.

The small cracks on the walls are a nice addition, though I think the fortress could use a lot more blocks. I believe the Mordor pack is very limited, but look for comparison at the huge amount of blocks we used in the Osgo wall to make that look nice and weathered.
The inside could be more supported, try separating large rooms up in smaller ones. Think of how a real fortress would look on the inside.

 

[MITHLONDEL]

Thank you for the criticisms Bart! I would agree that I should find a balance between the size of my builds and the level/type of detailing I put on them. Also, thank you for the tips on realism. I definitely tend to build things a bit more fantastical than realistic, but having a practical basis for even fantasy builds is important. Thanks again, I will work more on these things in future builds.

 

[MITHLONDEL]

Speaking of future builds, I worked on the Erebor Theme Build here. I tried to give it a fairly large size of an entrance, but I tried not to give it too intense detailing. I got my inspiration for the main structure as a mix between the movie version and the Thorin's Hall in Lord of the Rings Online. I made the entrance and the dwarf head statues similar to the Erebor and Eastern Moria Entrance in Lord of the Rings Online. I used a similar color scheme as the Erebor in the movies but added a larger river stream and waterfall. I'll attach my fave pic in full and the others as attachments.
