I really like the idea of the wall.... Nice!

Looks good...

You stole my idea of creating a whole castle as a chess set though!

It looks nice all set up--but it would be pretty entertaining to watch the walls shift around as you play!

Looks real nice. Good idea on the wall.

I like playing chess, but playing it on this would be real fun I think.

I like this idea alot. Actually I have a pretty cool idea for an opposing faction- the opposing faction would be laying siege to the castle.

The pawns could be crossbowmen behind pavises, rooks could be catapults, bishops could be battering rams. Knights could be knights (unmounted) standing in front of their pavillions Queen might be a massive trebuchet

not sure about the king though... maybe a huge fat king being carried on a litter by servents lol

Well, as said before I love the wall idea. The whole thing is well-made, but that wall just takes the cake..er whatever you're trying to get...

Thanks for all the comments. I really tried to make this look good. The only one I'm not too happy with is the knight.

Hehehehehe, I guess you'll just have to do one a little more different, Though actually, I have seen this done before, in the first Chess contest.

I was about to say, Sava has done something quite similar. Link Here.

It looks very good, El Knight. I like the towers you built next to the knights. It looks very good.

Good luck in the contest!

God bless.

I like how most of the pieces are buildings instead of mini-figs like most people will do. Cool set!

That is awesome! I like how they all connect to make a castle!
