Impressive! Red roof isnt common on these asian lego castles, but it looks nice.

The heightsick bandit guy seems to be puking or something... :roll: :lol:

Hey guys!

Pretty good looking moc. The red roof is differen't for this theme, and hasn't been used much.

Very nice.

Indeed. Black is the most common, but there are a few Japanese castles with green copper roofs as well. I'd love to see this with black roof pieces instead, but it's still really great.

Brickshelf user kk's Himeji Castle is also very good (but unfortunately also uses red roof pieces):

I lived in Himeji for about three years when I was a kid. :D

Great looking Castle! BTW... there are reddish-orange roofs you'd see on Chinese buildings like the Forbidden City Palace complex.

Thanks for pointing it out.

I think the red roof looks great. Black roofs look great too.
It's a Christmas Miracle!

That's Kung-Khoon Quah. In addition to his Brickshelf gallery he also has a website. He's a member of GFLUG along with another Floridian you might recognize, and they've put up a joint display of their castle creations.

Cool. I'd love to see you try your hand at some Asian-themed castle creations.

That´s really nice :) I don´t really like the green and yellow colours though. And the burps seem a bit out of place but anyway. It´s a very good MOC.
