Eh, I've been bored, and even though I'd still say I'm in my Dark Ages, I decided to mess around with a little castle creation. It's nothing much, and I plan on making some much cooler once I have sufficient supplies. Of course, with another convention in about three weeks, I don't think that'll be happening too soon. Links are on photobucket instead of Brickshelf until I get better pictures. So, without further adieu...

This is actually one of the best implementations of this baseplate I have ever seen. My only concern is the shortness of the walls in the middle. I never liked how Lego made them so short, but I suppose it's all personal opinion.

Good job, I look forward to more soon!

Ditto--it looks great! There may not be much in the size or complexity of this MOC, but it's sure inspired me. Good work!

This is quite nice-looking, surprisingly. It seems like a sort of hill-fort, or part of a wall around a town. The buildings look strong; and even comfortable (in a way) to live in. The only thing I would change is to raise the battlements by one stud everywhere. Of course, that might be hard to do on the curved pre-mold pieces.

My thought exactely.
I like your tower concept - it looks strong and steady.

And who says premolded parts are good for nothing!

Great job Zacku! This MOC is about the scale all my castle MOC's are, so you've really inspired me here.

It's a nice little moc, with good colour coordination. Good use of the big molded baseplate too.

Thanks guys.

I took your advice and added to some of the walls on the castle.

Very nice. I like the way it looks like it's built into a hill. It makes me wish I had one of those baseplates. Also, good use of those larger wall pieces. It's simple, yet still very nice. I like it.

From what set did the dragon crest on the left tower come from in this pic?

It a nice detail piece that enhances the MOC.
