Though I'm not a fan of the color scheme, I do like the idea of two towers coming from the same base. The height is also pretty cool.

Welcome to CC!

yea I'm not a fan of the colour eaither but for me to be able to build such a large castle (9 floors highest point) I hade to mix it up

Hey Sgtduckman,

Welcome to CC. Ignoring the psychadelic color scheme (understandable depending on collection size), the castle has a really nice shape. Hope you enjoy your stay here.

BTW, you'll see that I changed your pics to smaller thumbnails. Try not to post over-large pics in the forums. Thanks.

That is HUGE. I enjoy the creative color scheme. The building shape is pretty awesome too like others have said.

Welcome.

It's not bad; but the color scheme, as others have said, is off-putting. Perhaps you could next time make each part of the castle a separate color instead of mixing them? I really like the shape, though. Very much fantasy; don't you just love making things out of plastic that would never work in stone?

I agree with Bruce here... the shape is nice and since there is a reason to the different colours I can´t really pick on that...

Good work (and may your collection grow

)!

I tried posting last night but my comp was acting up ,anywho like some of my space mocs I didn`t make it colorful because I wanted to I did `cause I had to.A great design!I really like it,what you might be able to do is as you gather more gray you can change it slowly brick by brick

and below the two towers is the forge and the the great hall. also all the things are going up.

P.S. other then not haveing the peices this castle is for playing with too as well as looking sweet my friend and I are soon going to start Brickwars. I have no Idea what team he is going to be but I know I'm being my order of the serpentine and what makes this even better is that I found a ebay stor that sells the sheilds and swords along with it. (wow this should be in the main post

)

Now that's a solution to the big grey wall syndrome!

I do like the overall shape and style of the castle, as others have said the two seperate towers coming out of the base is a cool idea. I would enjoy seeing more buildings with that concept.

yea this summer I am sereously thinking about buying 100$ of grey and darck grey bricks and yea building a new version of mine and my friends castle and if we do I will be adding a east wing a stable on the west (left and right

) so yea what do you guys and gals? think about my layout of the rooms.

peace DuckMan

This castle is very well built... I imagine it must have taken some time, but I'd say the results are worth it - nice structure, nice outward appearance with the towers and arches and what-not. This looks very nice overall, and I'm not worried about the colors so much, as I know how the price of the brick can make a man poor very quickly...

... I guess you could just spray paint it gray ~

I see it as the colorful and non-evil version of Dave O'Hare's Wizard Tower. Both MOCs have a keep that has towers rising from the same structure.
