superb! is the other half still being done or was that scrapped? amazing work!

The fact that it ready for display while being unfinished is a testament to how great this build is.

Amazing build mate! Keep up the good work! Really love the crane and mill!

you can see some more pictures taken by Will from HOTBRICKS:

and thanks maydayartist for your update. Looks promising the castle!

This is still one of my most ismpiring MOC's and it gets better and better!

With my recent historical craze, I've caught myself up in this topic, you're doing a wonderful job with this MOC!

That looks really impressive, very nicely done!

It looks awesome. It added more life to the land by the way you had workers constructing the castle.

Here are some additional pictures of the construction zone done a few hours before the convention.

I didn't have the time to complete this so they are without minifigs.

But this is not bad. You can see the details better without them

I absolutely love your tread wheel cranes! And thanks for the extra photos.

this is pretty insane

Very impressive, the finished project is going to be stunning

I like that you put a floor in the circular tower

Absolutely awesome!

That's awesome! The cliffs are just amazing!

Simply brilliant. I love the look so far. Great attention to detail and the aesthetic is very pleasing.

I can't wait to see more. This makes me want to do something similar, but I lack time.

I just read through all of this from start to finish.

Wow... just wow. I'm so impressed that you've had this much patience! :thumbup:

Great job! You've gained a fan

That's all kinds of amazing! That castle looks awesome already, all the colors and different shapes integrated in...wow.

Thanks for the close ups! really nice!

The cranes are awesome! You did a great job yet again, Maydayartist. Wish I had been there to congratulate you personally.

this is awsome

amazing!! Are you going to build the castle till it is complete?

How do these work? In real life I mean. I've never seen them before.

Awesome build! I love the WIP pics of a WIP castle.

People or animals get inside the wheel - basically like hamsters :D

Yes I will.

But I can't repeat this nowadays. There is another big build for me to do before.

It is like TheMagician said. Peoples walk inside the wheel to rotate a windlass. Forwards and backwards to lift and lower the weight. It was a dangerous but well paid work for the middle age.

Huh. Never heard of that, but makes sense. Learn something new everyday! Thanks
