Posted May 25, 20168 yr I took my last castle build and made some major changes. I added a drawbridge and put a moat around the castle. I changed the keep, and added a nice looking library/ tower. Added a market village inside the walls as well. And made the dark forest outside the castle with a watch tower. The first picture was an entry for summer joust. The rest of the castle follows, I probably should have put minifigures in the pics, but i always like to take pics without the minis so you can see more detail and not be distracted.

May 25, 20168 yr Great perspective with the first picture, and the whole castle looks good and solid Excellent use of that printed baseplate for the path
May 26, 20168 yr Looking good! Some more vines on the castle walls and thicker landscaping would be the only main things that could be added hear to improve it.
May 26, 20168 yr I really like your castle, has nice dimensions and a classic look very well depicted.
May 26, 20168 yr Author Thank You. Yes i agree that more vines and thicker landscape would have been nice. I wanted to do more natural hills and trees, with larger vines. But ran outta green stuff haha.
May 26, 20168 yr That's a nice looking castle, I love the irregular shape! You've used mostly easy brick stacking techniques and this just shows what can be done in that way.
May 26, 20168 yr Nice shaping overall. Nothing too extravagant, but you don't always need to. Overall this has some good structure to it. It would probably do well at a LUG show so people can see all the little details. Adding in some figures might make the scene a bit better though, so keep that in mind.
June 17, 20168 yr I love this build. The size is really nice, I really enjoy large scale castles. Also, the plants in the landscape are really well put together. I really like the added tough of the flowery vines up the side walls. Good job!
