Carney's "Torre de Belém"
Carney's "Torre de Belém"
Bob Carney has finished his 110th castle.
A very unique looking thing!
Sort of a cross between castle and fort.

Despite the monochromatic greyness of it, I like this better than most of his others. And an action shot with soldiers and ships!

Hey,
This is a great castle to work with. Luis Baixinho has been a little obsessive, continually making new versions of it. Dr. Carney did a great job of recreating some of the decorative elements, and it's particularly nice to see him populate one of his castles, which is fairly rare for him.

I agree with that!, I haven`t seen any stickers and wallpieces. I don`t really like his others but this is better . Also through the action pics indeed.Despite the monochromatic greyness of it, I like this better than most of his others. And an action shot with soldiers and ships!

One of the best representations of my countrie's most emblematic monument. Simly unique. The sacle is perfect. It aint too big nor too small.
It is simply beautiful for a portuguese like me to see the Torre de Belém so greatly represented in Lego.

Give a man a fire and he'll be warm for a day.
Set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

Didn`t see it first, stupid... Hmm that`s a minus point for the castle in my opinion.The windows and doors on the small round towers are stickers.

You know you're a good person when you see megablocks and have to do things you would rather not.

This is most impressive. The castle has a smooth look to it and it is very realistic. I have never seen any of his work until now.
