A Yellow Castle – but not as you know it.

I came across this interesting yellow castle on Brickshelf today and I thought that I would share the link.

Even though the castle itself is not massive or too flamboyant, I found the design to be very interesting. I especially like the gate design.

What does everyone else think?

This is not my creation.

I like it, this builder must have been commited to collect so much yellow. The red and black really compliments the yellow in my opinion.

Really nice! I like the little guy at the gate "bringing home dinner"

I really like how the yellow looks with all that dark grey. The gate design is also superb; I have to try it.

Great find, George!

This is a really cool yellow castle. He used the rocks in it to make it look authentic, and also he made a cool black roof to go along with it.
I LOVE THE AWESOME gate.

This is a very good MOC done in the traditional yellow castle style. I wonder if he entered this for CCC- I remember that either I or II had a yellow castle category.

The gate design looks quite familiar, reminiscent of this entry in CCCIV by stambi!

Is this one of his other works?

While I'm not a big fan of yellow castles (sorry folks, the yellow castle 375 isn't anywhere in my top 5 lego castle sets, but I really like the figs), but that said, I think the castle is very well designed, and the rock actually complements the castle very well

Hi,
yes, this is another MOC by Stambi, which he made for Svitavy expo. He made the whole lowest part of this showcase.

Nice looking showcase. I need to get one of those glass display cases for my Lego. The only problem is to try and convince my wife.

Very nice! I knew it was Stambi as soon as I saw the yellow brick & landscaping, & then I saw the gate

This look so much better than the original Yellow Castle. I agree that the gate design looks really good, although it reminds me more of Arabian building than European ones.
