Which One?
I'm planning to build a Castle based off of a real life one. What keep design do you guys like more?

Re: Which One?
The first one has a lot more angles and colors, so I'm going to say that one.
The second one looks like lots of other MOCs, I've seen before. Though I really like the upper levels on the left end.

I love the upper levels on the second one too, but the first is more complex...Athos wrote:The first one has a lot more angles and colors, so I'm going to say that one.

Re: Which One?
If you're up for the first one go for it! I think it looks better than the second one.

Less talking, more MOCing!
(but if you think you can pull it off, the first one is definitely cooler)

Re: Which One?
The first one generally looks cooler, has more angles, and is more complex than the second.
The second one looks simpler and easier to design, but it looks a little "less cooler" than the first.
In my opinion, I would go with #1.

Re: Which One?
I like the jutting out parts on the left side of the second one, as well as the tower on the right side. The first one, though, is nice.
I must admit I lean slightly towards the second one. It also looks like there's an area with a really tall ceiling and stuff in the middle of it, which would make an awesome area for a "great hall" or something.
Just my opinion.
God bless,
Crushmaster.

Re: Which One?
I'm going to say go with Caldicot out of selfish reasons. I'm already working on something pretty similar to Stokesay manor.

Why do I have to add the word "minifig" to my spell checker every time I use it?!

Re: Which One?
If I had to pick just one, I would build the first one. If I had the bricks to do so, I would build them both. The first looks like more of a challenge. Also, it would depend what Hero/Heroine I was building it for.

Re: Which One?
My vote is for Stokesay. That castle has very interesting features which are not shown in that picture. A few years ago I designed a timber frame gatehouse loosely based on Stokesay's: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=24491

Re: Which One?
I have to go against the flow this time and vote for Keep #2 (Stokesay). I looks more like a castle to me, the first looks too much like crazy modern architecture. This is probably a stereotype, but I really don't like huge sloping roofs on #1 at all.
My two cents, but it's your MOC!!!
