Thanks all, this is actually one of my first MOC's that I've actually been happy with. My biggest problem is a complete lack of the quantity of figs I'll need/want to finish.
I'm glad the crenellations are so liked - They were sort of what started the whole project.
Two thumbs waaaaay up. Can you get inside the Tower? I take it you don't have enough pieces to make the rest of the wall? If so, I know how you feel.
I don't have enough pieces to make any more - I almost put stairs up, but I didn't like the look of them.
Looks good! If you have a shortage of bricks a stable would be a good idea for the interior, as it doesn't use very many. A courtyard is good too, and it doesn't use any.
I'm quite interested in the idea of stables, but I have no idea how they would work exactly. Any chance of a example of a lego version?
I know it's not historically accurate, but I enjoy castle walls with more color in the design. Not much, mind you, but I think a single line of red and yellow 2xN plates juxtaposed would give the wall and tower that PUNCH that makes classic MOCs.
Other than that, I'm really impressed by this. It looks like you could kick it and it would still be in one peice!
The crenelations and windows are a nice streamlined design, they compliment the shape quite well.
I hope to make the inside fairly colourful to make up for the walls, but personally I like the simple grey walls. And yes, it is fairly strong the only really weak part of it is the very top of the battlements, and of course the flags which get bumped off so easily.
And JP - Thanks for stealing my thread.
And of course feel free to use that design if you wish, I don't mind. I actually tried using the angles you mentioned, but it didn't give the same sort of look I wanted.
Thanks again all, I hope to have more soon.
