is it possible that they used a kind of spray to make it so sparkling?

Most impressive. The detail on this is just stunning. The rocky terrain isn't perfect, but even so it is amazing. And the tower is just... :shock: The size of this is also very impressive, especially to someone like me who would never have enough bricks to build it.

Yeah, this castle is amazing, and as already mentioned, it was built by Steve DeCraemer. It is absolutely stunning up close (and, since there has been some question, it is all 100% absolutely unadulterated, un-'sparklied' LEGO brick - I saw an early version while he was building it). Steve won some sort of general "best overall builder" award at Brickworld for this creation and others. Definitely well desrved.

It is a very interesting looking castle - I am not sure I am sold on the mountain portion, but I am only looking at in pictures.

In an effort to see what this may look like in person, I am going to play with the technique. As such, I have been raping and pillaging Bricklink for tiles and slopes. A dark-bluish gray tile on light-bluish gray brick with a dark-bluish gray mountain (more like a cabin on a hill).

I cannot argue that the design is not clever, and this certainly one of the 'freakier' castles I have seen. The round tower with the tiles I find especially interesting, and this is where I am going to focus my efforts.
