DARKspawn is building a castle!

Post by Bruce N H »

Hey all,

Remember DARKspawn? You should. Use the search function; it's your friend. Anyway, after a long absence (though I see you sneakily logged onto the forum a week ago, Aaron), h'es back on the scene and building a full-scale castle. You can watch his progress on his new blog, [url=http://darkscastle.blogspot.com.au/]DARK's Castle[/url], "The only blog courageous enough to cover the progress on building my castle". You could be lazy and only look at the pictures, like Karf, but I'd say definitely read along as he describes his thought processes and challenges. With an early WIP picture like this, I'm really looking forward to seeing how this progresses:

Thanks, Bruce! I was going to post this myself, but was holding out until I had something more to show for it. I'll be sure to post updates in this thread in future. It may have been a while since I last posted but I still lurk here on semi-regular basis. I know it's the nature of forums that people come and go but there's a core group of people on this site that have always made Classic Castle what it is and it will always be my favourite LEGO site. Thanks again, Bruce.

Hey everyone, I've got a bit more to report, progress is moving slowly but surely. Since the last up date here I've completed the interiors for the upper level

Click the pics to link to my blog

Including some fancy shmancy furniture inspired by Luis Baixinho

I've also built a sliding panel for the rear of the castle

I've already started the next section so it shouldn't be too long before my next update
