Well I finally got back into castle. I've been away for too long.

Nice job, I really like the wooden roof, and the use of the palm tree parts.

Re: Westfalen Abbey
There are a lot of really nice details here. I'm quite fond of the image showing the 'cavern' underneath. The mixing of the greys and browns works well and so does the mixing of the shape of brick within the walls. This is a nice tight, dirty construction. My only nit would be the dreaded brick-bottoms showing in one of the pictures. SNOT water is fine and all but I personally don't like to see the tubes showing.
Was the reference to Bruce NH's sigfig accidental or something else?

Trust me, I think I'm funnier than you do.
Why do I have to add the word "minifig" to my spell checker every time I use it?!

Yes, the 'reference' actually was completely accidental. It made a nice Monk, so...Ye Olde Republic wrote:There are a lot of really nice details here.

and I agree about the back of the water. I just don't have like any blue plates to cover an area like that up...

Re: Westfalen Abbey
Awesome stuff! 
Those wooden roofs came out great, and the rocks are supurb. I also like the mottling you've got in your walls and the battlements you made. Good job!

Re: Westfalen Abbey
Hello!
Very nice! It's an interesting shape and very well built. I like the look through the caverns.
(And it's probably the only place in Westfalen to ecounter a starfish. :-) )
Bye
