Hey guys,

For someone who was at Brickfest, oh my gosh, who made THIS?!?!?

DUDE....I'm not usually completely blown away by Castle MOCs, but I'd seriously have to say that even from that one photo, that's about the most impressive Castle I've ever seen. I *LOVE* the way he got the stones and mortar, and the cliff is awesome. We need more photos!

BTW, here's an upclose shot of the mortar technique:

I think I have a good idea of what's going on. Now I'm off to experiment!

Sweet jumpin' Jehosephat!

Even my wife was impressed.

At first she didn't believe the cliff was brick-built.

Holy freakin' Megabloks!!!

It even makes Ulmaris look small! This is now officially the best MOC I've ever seen. It's not my favorite yet, but once we get more pictures, I might change my mind.

Me either!! That is some amazing landscaping there! Definately some inspired use of bricks... I've learned quite a bit from this MOC.

man this thing is awesome. Thanks for the hi res pics breadman. I just keep thinking how many pins he must have used, and how many bricks in general there are there.
This style would also lend itself nicely to smaller mocs I think.. something along the lines of a large gray baseplate maybe?

anyway.. awesome job whoever..

Daang, I didn't think that the rocks were LEGO. It looked like crumpled up paper. Whoever did this deserves a high five.

I am really impressed by this castle, and that is something I don’t say so quickly.
Especially by the use of the tiles and the slopes.
Somebody a idea about the dimensions..?

Yeah, it's pretty freakin' wow!

Incredible stonework, and the best mortar look I've ever seen.

I love the way he handled the castle corners. Oddly enough, I was at a Friendly's restaurant the other day. It's all brick, and the corners look very similar to this castle's. I remember thinking, "How would one do this in LEGO?" Well, now I know!
