32 x 32 Blue: Island Tower

Post by JRod_the_Pirate »

I had some fun digging through my collection for these pieces. I'm pretty sure that a fair number of them came from the first set I ever owned.

This is pretty cool. Has a very distinct feel to it. The blue really jumps out at you.

I like this castle. It has lots of interesting lines for the eyes to follow, including all those vertical blue lines that really jump out at you. I also like the detailing on the second level, with the arch over the window and the detailing underneath, along with the torches burning. What was your first set which provided many of the pieces for this castle?

My first set was one of these: Build-N-Store Chest

I received it for Christmas when I was four years old, and it was love at first sight. Most of those bricks have a yellowish tint after all these years, but it's not too apparent in the finished structure.

I like the very interesting supports to the battlements how they continue up to form the merlons. The color combo is good as well. Looks like a great place for a blue wizard to dwell.

I'm so sorry. How about, this is very nice, the blue is lovely and looks great with the white.

That is much better. Thank you for the apology, but don't fret about it. You aren't on any Admin "black list" or anything. ;)

All these two-tone castles remind me of cakes. Now I'm hungry! :lol: Seriously though, charming castle.
