so this is my first moc here ever, so im pretty nervous...
this is a castle I builded to se what kind of pieces i had and how big castle I could build.
i know its not a realistic castle and it cant hold against a siege for a long time, but thats not what i was trying to do when i made this.
please post your views and idies how i can improve in my future mocs! tank you for your posts!

this is my wives creation
she made this while i was building! i have no idea if its a hint what will hapen to me if i buy more legos
anyway im realy proud of her!
Wow, that looks superb for a first MOC! You sure included a lot of detail. I know it's better than any castle I've made to date, so I have little advice to give in that regard. One thing I would do though is to make a detailed interior. It always makes a MOC more interesting. Hope that helps.
that is a good advice, i have som interior but im not so proude of it so i decided not to show it to you in my next MOC i will sertanly put more time on the interior!
thank you Tom!
I love the opening of the front gate in particular, though I would have loved to also see two other things:
1) The interior of the gate looking just as interesting.
and
2) Some way to open the castle to get a sense of the layout of the interior courtyard. This is tough to do when you have a limited piece selection, but there should at least be some sort of usage of the interior space if you want it to be populated by the minifigs like it was. I did like the main tower with the king in it. I don't have one of those guys yet so at the moment I'm limited to Knights/guard captains as the authority figures. I do have a queen but by herself...
That's very interesting, I like the height of that tower in the front, and you're use of those big turret pieces was very skillful. And your wife's creation made me LOL!!!
Don't be nervous, really! The more you show, the more tips you will get.
I enjoyed seeing you use quite unused pieces, like the giant axes and helmet. I like the arch use too. When you get some more pieces, I suggest landscaping. it really improves MOCs.
Nice work. I can see you put effort into this moc. You got some nice details in there. Also good work on the consistant color scheme. I remember my first castle wasnt that consistant ...
Indeed landscaping would def. boost your mocs. I would also advice you to add that in you next moc.
Wow! This is really great especially considering it's a first MOC. I really like how you incorporated quite a few seldomly used pieces into the build. Great job!
