Darraor Castle

Post by soccerkid6 »

My build for Round 4 of The Tourney at MOCpages. Halhi141, Infernum, and Brick all gave me helpful suggestions for this build. Credit for the tree design goes to Brother Steven, and the bird design was inspired by Eklund.

This is my second largest build ever at 64x48 (plus the border), and weighing over 21 pounds.
It was built over a period of 8 days.
There's a full interior, and the castle doors work.

Another beauty! There's some very cool details, it almost has an Eastern vibe . Oh and did you have trouble carrying this to your photography area? :tasty:

Lovely build! :twitch: You incorporated the angles of the wall flawlessly and the river's waterfalls look great!
I can't believe you built this in 8 days... :shock:

Wow, this is an all-round beauty. You've always been great at thatched roofs, and this is no exception. Good job! :)

Fantastic work once again. I'm a big fan of that covered bridge and as LittleJohn said the angles of the wall are perfect. The interior is awesome too!

This is REALLY good...! It looks like LEGO, but it also doesn't look like LEGO... I love it! Really good scaling and modeling. Excellent choice/use of pieces!

This has gotta be my favorite from you! The sheer size, plus the perfect use of colors is amazing. :)
