The tower is on the crest of a hill and the entrance is from underground. There were supposed to be trap doors between the floors, but I got rushed and did not plan very well.
P. S. I am going to keep it for a lich encounter were he moves from room to room in gaseous form.

I like the width of the tower - this one appears to have room for some living space inside.

Beautiful example of what you can do with some creativity and crafting skills.
I've got a couple towers I've created from Hirst blocks, and they have been huge hits in my campaigns. I hope yours is too.

WIP on replacement first level. Low priority, keeps getting shuffled on and off craft table.

OK what are you using for the stone blocks - foamcore? The foam cup in the background is what I am using to make the blocks. It is already curved and fits the curve of the bowl well. The top and bottom cuts can be tricky as they are arcs. I will wrap the cup around the bowl, sticking above the lip and mark it on the inside. P.S. Kroger also sells foam trays (rectangular plates) in a pack of about 20 for a dollar. I use these frequently. My granddaughters use them for chips and sandwiches, then I re-use them. It is what is wrapped around the peanut can. I clean them with a disinfectant wipe. I cross hatch the glue side to improve adhesion.

Another Work In Progress pic - note a few of the blocks have been replaced to hide the vertical seam, the vertical line on the right is a hair pin used as a clamp to hold the new piece until the glue dries.
