I love the round curtain wall( right term?). I think the foliage pieces give the base plates a nice "wild" look but I often feel like this method makes it look like they are walking through a jungle. Anybody have any comments about that method?

In some cases i think you are right, but here i think that putting all of the foilage there was the right thing to do, it gives this MOC a more real look... but thats just me

The foliage does give a realistic effect, however with the huge amount that there is, it might have been a bit overdone.

Other than that, the MOC is awesome. The timber-frame houses on the tower and on the side are great, and the river is excellent.

Very well done. How long did it take you to plan and build?

[Tycho McKorley]

As always, your landscaping looks spectacular. I also love the curved wall on your keep. I've tried curved walls before and I know they can be challenging.

That is a really nice castle. I love the clean lines and relatively simple geometry. I also really like the SNOT river, with the brown banks. I do think that the bridge would look better brick-built, instead of the prefab piece. As to the foliage; I think it works great here. It looks like an un-mowed or un-grazed field, which I think could be quite appropriate. You could, perhaps, try to put in a slightly worn path though from the front gate to the outbuilding, where the figs are walking. I think that would add a bit more realism to it.

I love it, it's an awesome looking keep with great landscaping. The only thing I would say is that, like Cm2 said, a slightly worn path would look great and add realism.

About the grass, I'm not sure if it would look better done a different way, was just commenting on the method in general.

[quaraga]

i like the main MOC but the plants need to be cleared a bit. the bridge would be fine as is but might look better brick built.And i couldn't tell, are the forestmen allies to the crownies, or invaders?
just my two cents.

very nice keep with good landscaping - I especially like the tree

[mautara]

I like it a lot: expecially all the vegetation and the wizard's stick!

[Lewa Rocks]

Aww sweet! Very awesome! It's hard to comment on stuff this good because theirs too much too say! I'll just go with what struck me first: the environment is great! I really like the mud banks on the river! Of course the castle is splendid!

I like the little details like the hollow cross on the wall above the gate.

Also, what is that little red house suppose to be?

[LegoLord.]

The red house is supposed to be a peasent's house, but it can be what ever you want it to be.
