Great looking Castle and awesome use of the technic bricks.
So thats where all those dark gray tiles went to, when they started to disappear from BrickLink.

Yes, that's an incredible number of tiles! What a textured look! I'm extremely impressed. Maybe I'll try something like it on a smaller scale.JPinoy wrote:So thats where all those dark gray tiles went to, when they started to disappear from BrickLink.

I think it is in old grey since the tiles look like old grey to me and I don't even think there are that many light bley slopes in existance yet!Graynar wrote:Hey guys!
I wonder if this breath taking construction was built with old or new greys?
Oh well, time to faint now.
Very impressive, best castle I have seen! I would love to know who the builder is and see if he/she has anything else we haven't noticed him/her build.

That was me with the High-Res pics, cause I knew people would want some up close pics.
It was made by Steve DeCraemer, and is called POV3. It won best in show.

No luck with finding MOC announcement of POV3, though.

It has 3 points of view.
One is a really nice town city layout, the other is the castle thing, and the third is this crazy Jesus-Robot being made by other robots in this crazy techno-world.

The first pic of the castle that I saw was this.
It's blurry, but that made it even more exciting. In that pic, it doesn't look like Lego at all, which makes it more impressive when in the not blurry pictures it still doesn't look like Lego.

The new mortar technique is pretty cool......it gives the castle a very realistic look. And it looks awesome!
I honestly don't like the cliff it sits on that much.
It looks more like melted plastic or a stone lava flow than it does a cliff!
But it's still very impressive that the builder was able to built it!
I can honestly say that I won't be using that new mortar technique (at least not in big mocs) because it...
A. Looks way too complicated
B. Involves way too many tiles
Though, it looks soo darn coool! I wish I had the money to to buy the necessary pieces to build a large castle using that technique.
I resized some of the pics so you can take in the scope of this big castle.....
