I think this is the best of my Tourny builds so far. Not necessarily because it's the most aesthetically pleasing, as I feel like that goes to my R1 build. I think this build however, was by far the most creative. In my R1 build, I used a lot of well known techniques, and though the half arch was kinda cool, it still wasn't that creative or hard to achieve. With this build I went for a very different style, trying to keep the overall look simple, while trying to create some more complex angles and aesthetics (like the lower wall). Likewise, I wanted the tree to have a simple somewhat smooth feel, but at the same time have branches sticking out at all sorts of angles. Building the fort around the branches was surprisingly difficult for me, and it left the upper part being an rather awkward shape.
Aspects of the build I would have liked to work on more would have manly been the base, and the transition from the lower to upper part of the fort. I think the overall aesthetic of the build would have been much better with a wider base that wrapped around the fort more.
