Great Job !
The roof on the top floor might required a little bit of weathering. A little bit clean to my taste.

Excellent job, to mirror the first response - my initial thought was "doors and deck need some weathering/dinginess".  Looks great as usual!

OUTSTANDING! The Tower is BEAUTIFULLY modeled & painted...the conical roof is a BEAUTY. VERY WELL DONE!

Repeating the bit about the roof, but it's actually the wooden sections. It's a bit to clean compared to the rest of it.
