Captain Braunsfeld Posted April 8, 2017 Posted April 8, 2017 The Cuboid Castle that Samuel Marron has visited is probably worth a few additional pictures It was probably not my best idea to shoot a grey castle against a grey background... This is where Samuel Marron goes to seek for further support in the battle agains Ravaage. Inspired by La Sagrada Familia I had build two differently coloured glass windows. one blueish - one reddish C&C Welcome, pictures to be found on my flickr album. Quote
Garmadon Posted April 8, 2017 Posted April 8, 2017 Very nice castle, Captain B, love the light streaming through the window on the last pic, and the outside of the castle is quite impressive as well! The gatehouse is excellent, and for some reason those arrow slits and the corners of the towers are really drawing my eye! Keep it up, mate! Quote
TitusV Posted April 9, 2017 Posted April 9, 2017 Really cool castle man, I'm glad we got some extra images to look at! It has some classic feeling to it, which I can greatly appreciate! Quote
Tezclatipoca Posted April 9, 2017 Posted April 9, 2017 A very good castle ! It has a real classical feeling ! I like the gatehouse particularly ! The colour windows are a great addition too. You did an excellent job ! Quote
Henjin_Quilones Posted April 10, 2017 Posted April 10, 2017 Thanks for the extra views! This is great. As I said the first time, I like the legs for arrow slits. Other details like stained glass and brick-built curtains are also lovely. An impressive creation to be sure. Quote

soccerkid6 Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 The gatehouse certainly did turn out well! I like the drawbridge/portcullis set up, and the landscape works well to make a dry moat Very pretty windows, both those with stained glass and without. Always great seeing interiors too, I like the curtains you have in there Quote

LittleJohn Posted May 4, 2017 Posted May 4, 2017 Really excellent castle! The rounded edges of the gatehouse towers work very well in this build, as do the windows made of legs. The landscaping has an appropriate desert feel to it, I particularly like the brickbuilt cactus. Always nice to see interiors too, and yours looks lovely in that last picture with the light streaming through the window Quote
Captain Braunsfeld Posted May 5, 2017 Author Posted May 5, 2017 High praise, thanks You seem to like the MOC for the same reasons as me AndHigh praise, thanks You seem to like the MOC for the same reasons as me Still I had hoped that this castle would bring me on the brothers brick site... Sadly they don't seem to like my creations Quote

Sadly they don't seem to like my creations Speaking from personal experience, you tend to get blogged when you least expect it, and often with builds you don't consider your best. It usually takes quite a long time before being blogged too, though once you are, it tends to happen more often. Basically, have fun building and the bloggings will likely come eventually Quote
Grover Posted May 10, 2017 Posted May 10, 2017 I've never been a huge fan of square towered castles, but this looks really good. I think the mini out front makes me think of reniassance castles, which really lend to the leg arrow loops/windows. The wood/stone structure on the breteches and other windows looks great, too. Nice work! Quote
