Chillon Castle

Post by soccerkid6 »

My build for Round 2 of The Tourney at MOCpages. Halhi141 gave me several ideas for this build, including the 'mirror'. This build is based off of the real Chillon Castle from Switzerland, in particular this section: http://brickbuilt.org/Castle/2015/Chillon/small.jpg

It's the first castle I've done that is pretty realistically scaled. On the first floor is an armory, and on the second floor is Lord Chillon's room.
The layout was rather challenging, as were the roofs, but I'm pleased with the final result. The thick walls let me use some new window and arrow slit designs. I experimented a bit more with my SNOT wall design, as the tower gradually gets thinner. The bartizan (overhanging corner turret) is my first, and I'll probably be doing lots more of those in the future.

The Chillon family has always been respected in Guaire, and their castle is admired by all. Upon hearing that he needed to infiltrate a lord's castle, Dedan decided on the Chillon Castle as he knew it would provide a real challenge.

:shock: Outstanding work! The interior is excellent, but that angled wall section is executed perfectly! :woo:
