The name is funny, ;) But the castle is EPIC!!

This thing is awesome man! The different angles and sizes of towers looks great!

Is the road in the exact middle? It would be nice if I could match it up for the Collab. ;)

Yes it is in the exact middle on both sides! So you should be able to make it meet up fairly easily! Also all my landscaping is 1 green brick high haha so keep that in mind when you're working on the border parts!

I like the splotches of dark gray in the walls. It adds to the realism. The round tower is great too.

The windows in tallest tower (and pretty much everywhere else) are great.

Very happy that you added more photos.

As others have said, this is great.

What is the footprint for this castle? And, how many more bricks went into this one over Ayleth (I really liked that one from you, too)?

The base is 112x160

And quite a few more bricks! I can't really estimate but I did get a lot closer to running out this time than with Ayleth! This castle is much larger. Aside from my boxes of grey being shallower I can't really give you much more information! Except I did have to buy a bunch more arches and slopes as well as windows for this one.

Arches and windows all utilized wonderfully. It's truly a great piece that certainly embodies the colossal aspect of the contest.

Other than its sheer size, I think all the customers at the weapons merchant and the covered walkway on the left side are my favorite parts of it all.

I envy those that will get to marvel at this at BrickFair.

EDIT: I know the castle's name was a play on AC/DC, but the name in the thread title is something else. Not sure if that was intentional.

Great work man! I like the addition of the arches, the different angles and the overall layout. :)
