Wow; the interior is truely worthy of the structure!

I really like the way you did the bed; that is one of the best looking LEGO beds that I have ever seen.

Some other of my favorite bits are the doorway/gateway, and the well.

Great job!

Hello!


Congrats to your newly born son! And congrats to this (other) great MOC. It's nice both inside and outside, and I like the interior details. The well is superb and so is the rat's lair.

Well, airships... OK, it's fantasy. At least there can land dragons on the platform, too.


Bye

I love it! My favourite part in the entire creation is the little rodent tunnel that is visible when opened, awesome detail! I also love the well and the way the water is shown. Oh yeah, the castle is great too! :D

Hey Denix,

First off, congratulations on your newborn! Very cool.

On the MOC, while this is smaller than some of your castles, it might well be my favorite of what you've done. The balance between the colors is outstanding, and the details (especially the rat hole and well as Terrance noted) are especially good. Great work.

The interior is fantastic!
I love the storage room with the stacked barrels & the well!
That well is so friggin cool!
Everything else is also great!

Though, your Castle owner may want to call Terminex, it appears you have a rodent infestation!

This is awesome, good job!

The rat in the crack is a neat idea for a split.

Congrats on your newborn!

This keep is spectacular, definitely a new direction for you, but I recognize your building style. Very nice, with great details!

I love it! Not much I can say that others haven't already said. Especially like the details like the rodent tunnel and the airship is sweet.

Hmm, a flying boat, very interesting. That would be as in a hovercraft of some kind, right? :wink:

Hey as everyone has already said very awesome! One question- I find that when I go to build something large planning for it can be a chore and a lot of times it doesn't turn out the way I like,so my question is how did you plan for something so large and get it to turn out the way you wanted.

I think this is great! I wish I could make something like that I like the terrain and the well is a great Idea although I would have tried to make it go all the way to the water level still keep up the great work.

Well look who's back from the dead (the thread).
Nice job, and congrats for your kid (must be a year or so old by now).

WOAH.
Sorry to bump the thread, but this is the coolest MOC I have ever layed eyes upon! Simply amazing on just how enourmous it is!
Alaric...now that's a cool name for this keep's owner, how did you come up with that? BTW, which of the minifigs is Alaric? My guess is on the one in the guilded scalemail.
