soccerkid6 Posted January 29, 2013 Author Posted January 29, 2013 Agreed with the above comments, your castle does have a very solid look - the only thing that i feel is missing is a hill to put it on, with some outer fortifications! But that would probably make your moc unfeasably large. I love the double "D" shaped towers in front, and the attention to detail in the courtyard is great. I'm looking forward to your other round 6 builds! Thanks Gabe Adding a hill and more fortifications would indeed be a bit large, especially as part of a challenge VI entry. Hopefully will have the second build finished before the end of February, I think it will be even better than this Quote

Captain Settle Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Avalonian's being beaten? Unheard of! I said baseplate with figs would be good, and I was right. Lovely foliage. Quote

de Gothia Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 Oh I just love the last moc SK! The waterfall under that perfect bridge is just epic! I can see the influence of SoT but I think you have your own style to it! Well done! Quote

mrcp6d Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 That bridge is awesome SK, and coupled with the angle you've built the structure on, the second castle in this story is your best work yet. Quote

Kai NRG Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Great job on this so far, since I never commented on the first two builds I'll mention all three now: Nice work on the castle, it looks appropriately strong and fortified. I'm not sure I really like the snow on green though, it looks a bit strange to me. Nice round towers though! Neat landscaping and good use of faces/expressions for the peasant group! Since the other two builds have borders, it might have been nice to put some black around that one, but good job anyways! Fantastic second build! The angling of the towers is great, as is the bridge over the river, and you've got some superb rockwork there! Very nice bridge design, great work on the waterfall too. Probably my favorite of all your work so far, great job! Quote

Thanks, snow on green is a little strange, sand green or dark green would look better but I don't have much of those, as it is I wanted to capture the feel of an early snow that hadn't really accumulated yet. The cliffs in the second build were a ton of fun and went really quicky. I wanted to do a more fantasy styled build, thus the bridge over the river and the keep being a full story higher than the tower because of the cliffs, glad you like it Quote
soccerkid6 Posted February 18, 2013 Author Posted February 18, 2013 Great moc dude... Well done!! Thanks, I'm very happy with it Quote
kabel Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 hey man way to go, what a great castle. So many things to love about this: the water, the castle itself, the rockwork, all just totally nice. Can't wait for your third moc!! Quote

Balthasar Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Beautiful castle! Lots of interesting stuff and great attention to detail. The overal design is excellent, love how its angeled and high over river. The SoT style suits well. I don't mind seeing that more often. And ofcourse very neat bridge design! Quote

I thought having it go over a river and one side higher would be an interesting design as well as being defendable Quote

Gideon Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 Stunning! I especially love the battle-ready feeling the hoardings on Daydelon castle create, and I don't even know where to start commenting on Cameria. Being an admirer of angeled building placement I think your success in making it look so naturally placed like that is fantastic! And the waterfall... Quote
