There is so much wonderful detail it is hard to isolate one or two. You have set the bar very high with your first few entries, and I can't wait to see what is next! Great work!

Yay! Another great entry for Team Bruce! Now I need to get building...

Anyway, superb job! I love the castle. The wooden parts are superb! The rest of the MOC is incredible as well. I'm glad that you are not against my team!

Brilliant! Just brilliant. I am glad we are on the same team.

As for the MOC itself, I love the trebuchet, and the Jester as a distraction is priceless!

GO TEAM BRUCE!!!

Wow, DNL, this is a fantastic siege entry. I love the design of the trebuchet, as well as the fortification. Man, I have to get my nose to the grindstone if I'm to pull my weight on Team Bruce!

Go team!

My MOCs will be coming late in the contest, I'm away from my LEGO for a while unfortunately.

Great entry!

It`s very good entry. The trebuchet is the best part, but in brown it will looks better (black is not a good colour for pictures). Castle is also very well done. I know that is size limitation but it looks little strange that trebuchet is so very close to the castle walls. But the size limit, the size limit... :lol:
Anyway it`s very good and looks interesting.

i love that siege, expecially because it's very realistic...i think that size limit is a problem for that category, in my opinion it has to be larger.
A very good job overall!!!

This is an amazing piece of work; the trebuchet is one of the best designs I have ever seen, and the use of small details such s the slope of the castle wall and the nice use of landscaping really adds something to this. Love the fortifications too. Good luck in the contest, although you probably won't need it. :wink:

How did you make the bottom of the castle where it touches the ground by the water. It is so incredible looking and I can not figure it out for the life of me and I have been staring at your flickr and brickshelf trying to figure it out. Simply in awe. Is it a million jump plates?

Very well done. I like the little details at the bottom of the wall. The jester is a nice touch as well.
