An entry for the Large Misc. category in CCC XIII.
This is my first Castle model entirely based off of a real castle: Bodiam Castle in England. I built only the front wall, and it isn't scaled perfectly, but I think it's close enough to be quite recognizeable. Also I changed the bridge layout, because of space limitations.
See a picture of the real Bodiam castle here: [url]https://www.raspberrypi.org/wp-content/uploa ... 0x1200.jpg[/url]
There's no interior this time, though the portcullis and main doors are functional.

Thanks for looking, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it

Re: CCC XIII Bodiam Castle
Really love it. The wall texture looks great in the pictures.

I'm pretty sure there were other soon-to-be entries posted before mine yesterday on Flickr, I may have been the first to post about their entry on CC though!Bruce N H wrote:Congratulations on being the first entry in the CCC!

Re: CCC XIII Bodiam Castle
You came really close to the original! Also, the tile technique fits perfect in this one...
Re: CCC XIII Bodiam Castle
Looks great! 
That's an awful lot of 2x2 flats to source, but great part use.

Re: CCC XIII Bodiam Castle
You pulled off the 'realistic' look very well, that tile collection certainly helped here !

Re: CCC XIII Bodiam Castle
Gorgeous castle SK, as mentioned above, the texture looks spot-on and this has a lot going for it architecturally.
Re: CCC XIII Bodiam Castle
Beautiful entry! Your tile technique really shines here and your photography (especially the angles) is superb. Excellent work!
