I do not only think that, I even know that. I know the guy, he lives 7km from me. Trust me, he's not a LEGO employee... Many people have stuff like that... Not being a LEGO employee doesn’t mean that you can build in a professional way. There are more people who liked it to build on a bigger scale ...

This is really a good drawing. I am looking forward to see this castle being built in real LEGO bricks. That would be a very impressing edifice indeed. :o

This is a nice start indeed. Maybe not historically correct in construction, but this is ample compensated by great fantasy and many details. The style and proportions are typical for a fantasy-castle. I specially like the verticality in this building. And the use of unusual colours. It reminds me o...

I don’t think that somebody will copy my castle that easily.
But if so, I wouldn’t really care. We are all learning by copying..

So, no problem with me.... 8)

Mainly, because I can build with it in the living room without disturbing the neighbours by hammering and sawing and such..
And I don’t get my wife upset because it makes no dust or stains or strange odeurs…
..Or staying on the attic all the time…

I think that the min. age mention is mainly for insurance reasons. TCL simply don’t want the risk of getting claims when indeed a child chokes in a piece of LEGO. The max. age mention is nonsense. For me, it means I have to be a 12 year old for the rest of my life…Not really a problem of course… :) ...

Too old for LEGO….. :lol:

Maybe….When you get a serious form of Alzheimer’s disease, so you can’t remember the meaning of the word LEGO anymore.
Or Parkinson’s disease, and you can’t put one brick on another….

But as long as that is not the case,

Red can be a fine colour for a castle, Especially when it is build of bricks. But maybe, it is better to mix it with some other colours, like brown, sand red, and a few purple bricks. It is done in this old Dutch castle, “Kasteel Werkeren” , and well, it looks less err… red. http://www.brickshelf.co...

Everyone has his favourite way of building, of course, and there is no fixed rule to it. But speaking for myself I would say: Decide what kind of castle you want to want to build, the location in the scenery, and how big it will be. Start building your landscape roughly. Work from the lowest point o...

It depends, of course, which type of landscape you want to create. If it will be a steep rock formation, then I should start with the rock because that is your foundation. Otherwise, I should build the castle first. Anyway, landscaping is no option at all for me. My castles are, to put it mildly, a ...

The who,e MOC is well done, but somehow it doesn't feel like the tower of London. Maybe that's just me... God Bless, Nathan The real Tower of London, or White Tower, don’t have a caste-feeling either. I think, this is due to the fact that this building, like so many others, repeatedly is redecorate...

Exept for the stickering and the "false" windows, he did a nice job.
Maybe some mottling and some more details would have made his caste more "lively".
But it is fairly convincing..

This is really a real looking castle. I especially like the colour of it. Is seems that you don't have to need the grey's anymore. And I like its dimensions. A castle has to be big and powerful.

Go on!
I am looking forward to see the completed building..

I am really impressed by this castle, and that is something I don’t say so quickly.
Especially by the use of the tiles and the slopes.
Somebody a idea about the dimensions..?
