I stumbled onto castle MOCs (still don't know what that stands for) when doing an image search for my 6081. That led me to a MOC of that set by a fellow named Dan. I spent hours poring over the some of the incredible creations on display, before a mention of Classic-Castle.com (in reference to a set made for one of the prior CCC events) directed me here, where I have lurked for a week or two admiring the many CCCV entries.
I have been inspired! One of my favourite things to do with my LEGO had always been to rebuild it into little castles of my own making, and now seeing these MOCs - I had to begin again. Though starting small (in terms of both pieces and techniques) I plan to work my way up to some of the greater creations - in size at least if not in beauty.
Fortunately I did keep what pieces I had through the Dark Age.Thank you all for bringing me back to the light!
