Bran Castle
Bran Castle
Hi,
I introduce You my new MOC. It is built according to Romanian castle BRAN. I have never visited it but after all this castle belongs into my favourites. Bathory dynasty had owned this castle at one time. And Bathory´s heraldry I have applied on singboards and clothing of the minifigs. Beyond the photos of real Bran I have drawn my inspiration from this creation http://www.carneycastle.com/Bran/index.htm
You will like my castle I hope. I will be glad for every your opinion and notion.

Re: Bran Castle
Excellent castle, lots of interesting shapes and rooflines to enjoy - I especially like the 'in construction' look of the conical roof. Great work.

Re: Bran Castle
Excellent angling! The roofs are also very nicely done. An excellent castle.

Re: Bran Castle
I agree with all of the above, great angles, good roof design, and it doesn't suffer from the grey wall syndrome! Well done!

Re: Bran Castle
Thats killer! The individual bricks jutting out everywhere are awesome. Excellent build sir.

Re: Bran Castle
There's not much I can add to what's already been said: everything about this castle is great! My favorite part is the wooden construction of that conical roof, but I also like all the different shapes and angles, and the rockscaping at the base of the castle. An all-around good build!

Re: Bran Castle
So much to love!
The rock formation along the base of the castle is great. The walls are broken up very well and look very natural. I also really like the stairway to the castle entrance. Such a great build. ^__^
