Hmm, the scene looks a bit too much like that one Hogwarts set, but the minifigs are all very nice.

hmmm I guess that could be a problem with so much tan.... however if it does it was total chance I have never even seen one of the HP castles in person much less paid attention to how they were built from the pics.

Hey Dave,

It's good to see more people building Narnian MOCs -- better us than M***B***s, eh?!

To be honest, I've always thought of Cair Paravel as a fairly traditional castle (thus gray and fully enclosed), but that's just my own mental image. :? It's always interesting to see how other people interpret the words they read on the page. :D

Can't wait to see what other Narnian creations you build. Keep it up!

Bricksidge- yeh they are pieces from HP mostly which explains why it looks similar to a HP castle.

HenrytheV- thankyou for the corection on the spelling I knew it wasn't correct but I do not own the books and didn't feel like looking up the spelling.

Dunechaser- beter us building than MB? 'like heck yeh'
and well I have always thought of it haveing more of an open/ pourch area around the thrones.

Looks good to me. However, I think you should put some more detail into it, but I shouldn't judge this. For I have not read the Narnian book yet. :oops:

Great job though!

I like it, as all well done Narnia things. (I'm still holding my breath to see if the movie will be in this category.) Pretty nice work, I like the detail. It might look less HPish if you flipped the long yellow flags to not show the sticker side. Maybe you've tried it and it looks better this way, who knows. I'll be looking forward to your next Narnia creation.
