Holy smokes DNL!
This is an amazing little MOC. I love the design of this castle so much, especially how on the main walls the turrets are held up by two different sets of inverted slopes at different angles.
Lots of great details and good landscaping too.

The landscaping is nicely done with a very compact & interestingly designed castle, which makes this a very nice MOC. I think the minfigs could use some adjustment theme-wise but this doesn't detract from the design as a whole. Great work

This is one of those rare castles for me that gives me the spark to build one myself. What I like so much about it is how compact it is, yet imposing. The farm on the side is also very nice.

This, as all of your stuff, is quite wonderful. The design of this castle is beautiful without being extravagant, and it looks like it could almost have been built in reality. The landscaping is also really great; especially the dark green, which has the perfect look for a bog or fen.

Excellent work, DNL. I really like all of the details that you put into the landscaping and figures. The simple colour scheme of the main castle really compliments the busy goings on well. Lovely architecture.
Wow, that's the first MOC I've reviewed in a while, holding back on my posts to save up for 1000

Excellent, it looks like you took a knife and cut it right out of the landscape. The soldier sinking in the swamp, hilarious.

Awesome..... just plain awesome. I love all of the detail and the look of the castle. The way you incorporated detail and vast amounts of slopes, ect. into your castle shows that you know your lego's quite well.

Nice Castle. Its small but well detailed.
To me it kinda "Jojo-like" but at a smaller scale.

The assassins sneaking in as the knights are heading out...cool
The MOC is very nice as a stand alone with all of that foliage and landscaping as well as "life" as various minifigs are doing different tasks.
That quintain is pretty serious with the curved steel blades and all
I really like this shot http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/danie ... stle/2.jpg I like the overall atmosphere and especially the doors in the castle wall and the stairs that use the natural rock that the castle was built into.
The fellow in the bog is quite amusing.

I think the general consensus is that this is a great MOC. It also inspires me to make something about that size. I hope mine will come close to being as good as this. I like the small house-like dwellings inside the Castle. Great job, keep it up!

Very nice MOC. I like how the soldier is sinking in the swamp, and I also like the design.
