Hi there,

I've been silent for a long time, but there is my new castle :

The landscape is heavily unachieved.

Regards,
Denix

Its looking good! Yet another great castle, I really like your work. The buttresses along the walls are perfect and the tower looks very formidable. I assume you are going to finish the landscape? The drawbridge looks a bit odd, opening into thin air like that. But other than that its a great MOC.

I guess that is why the draw bridge is hanging on the air..

Anyhow u must realise heavily unachieved > never started

A chain operated drawbridge, playable interiors and comfy beds. What more can a castle fig ask? Is that u who is fishing at the back door?

My favorite is that arch in front. I took this from one of your others and have something remotely similar on my own.

The butresses look very nice and the interior looks nice and cozy. I particularly like the light blue beds and the armory. Be sure to post more pice when its done.

Great work!

I like the overall design of the castle pretty much - it looks, I would say, very functional. And all the details you've added in the interior are very nice. As for the surroundings, one can immagine that this is in fact a border castle which is far (and I mean really far) away from anything else so there is no wildlife or vegetation there. Just take care of the drawbridge.

I like it, can't wait to see it finished. I like the buttresses, battlements, windows and the roof lines, as well as the salley port and boat dock. But I must say what I like the best is how you used the BURPs to build the base of the castle without making it look obvious that you used any BURPs at all. Well done.

This is awesome, Denix. I really like the windows, and the roofs are cool as well. The interior is very good, as usual, and it looks very comfy. The way you made the buttresses not have even bases (with eachother) is great. The courtyard is very nice. There's really only one thing I don't like, and that is that the wall walk seems a bit precarious in places. Other than that, it's great. Oh, and what is that chain on the left of the door for?

Amazingly done! I hope you do the landscape well, or I will have to critisize you

.I really think this is good. It was well thought up, and well done. Keep it up, can't wait for exteriorness!

I love your work, and this new castle is great even without landscaping. As others have said, the interior and the buttresses are well done, but I also like all the moss on the foundation. Plus, I really like the well. It seems like everyone has gotten caught up in building round, realistic wells. I do like the round wells, but seeing this square one is quite refreshing. Well done!

This is an all around awsome castle!It way better then anything I could have come up with.

It doesn't matter if the landscape isn't that good, it's the castle that matters.
