Castle... WIP

[Sir Valiant]

This is looking great so far Ludzik. I love those windows on the right. Great use of the tire-well for an arch. The castle itself is really coming along nicely, she is going to be quite imposing by the looks of it. What faction do you plan of having inhabit the castle? Also, I really like the secret entrance/exit. Its very well concealed.

Happy Building,
Sir Valiant~

This is great so far!

Don't worry about tearing everything down to rebuild it "perfectly" the first time. I've found that the best way to learn is by building, but don't be afraid to just finish something without it being perfect. If you think of MOCs as partly a learning process, then you'll have those ideas in mind for the next castle (and the next, and the next). Your building style will evolve as you add more and more techniques and preferences to your repertoire.

Keep up the good work!

Still far from completion but I'm getting closer. In these pics you'll notice a lot of unfinished work (attic area above the stable does not have the tower walls and you can see into the attic)

Done a bit more work on the castle. Got two roofs nearly completed (one roof is missing a few tiles on the very top - just plumb run out...) and also still missing the rest of the lords tower. I'm deciding between 1 or 2 more levels that will either be topped off with a tall spiky roof or flat roof or...


After that's done, then the courtyard needs work and the armory towers need finishing off. Courtyard will probably get a kitchen and a small smithy THOUGH I'm considering converting what I have as stable (lower level - straight up from the entry gate) into a kitchen and soldiers quarters.....

Wow - some nice castles are being posted for the competition... I feel intimidated and a tad jealous of the skills BUT I figure as I am working on mine I can borrow some techniques from others and grow in my skills.

Anywas, a BrickOwl order came in while we were in the hospital (baby Girl ) and now I can work on the castle only from time to time (keeping my wife company as she's feeding from 2330 till now .... and it's 2AM)

Anyways, this is the updated roof (red on the manor to match the tower roof )

Nice job on this, you have a lot of lego castle pieces! I like the red tudor section.

Really loving this build Ludzik! The roofs look great and I cant wait to see the finished product.
