CCC XIV Falcon's Winter Fortress

Post by Elephant Knight »

My entry in the Ice Castle category, and second in the CCC.

This is the largest castle I have built, and I am very pleased with how it turned out. Not completely happy with how some of the interior turned out, but still pleased with most of it.

You are right to be pleased -the Castle, the snowy surrounding and espescially the mosaics in the walls are really cool. A great entry!

Excellent winter castle! It's great that you included an interior too, and the wall mosaics are stunning.

Thanks for the replies!

I figured the falcon mosaic was going to be popular, it turned out really well.

This reminds me of a significantly upgraded 6073/6074/6085/etc. layout; and I like that a lot. And of course there's the snow and the mosaics on top of that. Sweet castle! :D

A great castle! The layout and construction are simply beautiful, as well as the snow scenery around it.
And, to list some of the numerous nice details:
- The mechanism to raise the gate is very well done
- The mosaics are fantastic
- I really like those stone falcons over the entrance
- The interior is very detailed

Overall, an excellent MOC!
