CCCVIII - Reconstruction of Orlik Castle

Post by Legacek »

2 kilometres east of the town of Humpolec(Czech Republic) there lies a widespread ruin of Orlik Castle there.

This is my LEGO reconstruction of Orlik Castle...

The walls are really nicely done with their angles and roofs. Also I like the landscape on the outside. Great work here.

This is one of the better reconstructions of a real castle i've seen in a while! The angles are really well done, and i envy the amount of bricks you have...

This was one of the entries this year that I actually spent a while poring over the photos in the brickshelf folder. I have immense respect for you that you were able to build such a cool castle, but for it to be an accurate reconstruction of a real castle... Man, it's fantastic, absolutely wonderful and I wish you a lot of luck in the contest!

That is an awesome castle. I love its design and all of the villagers and others populating it. The whole reconstruction theme is executed very well. Love it!

I love the landscaping in and around the castle; and of course the castle itsself looks top notch. The custom faction design is rather clever, what made you pick that particular design? The beige jugs look nice as well as the snot roofs. Very well done!

Beautiful MOC. I especially like your landscaping and the angling of the walls.

Good Luck :wave:

I always appreciate when someone builds a model of an actual castle, and then also provides some history and images of the real castle for comparison. It's an attractive castle, and an impressive build. Well done.
