That MOC castle Estuary is marvelous. It had the same effect as the Fellowship of the Ring had found the halls of Durin in the Mines of Moria. :o I'd say that Brok is a truly talented builder. Kudos to you Master Builder.

Ummmm......

What are we commenting on?

I see no pics, no links, and (sadly) I am not telepathic.

You're not!?! All my assumptions about you were wrong, sadly I can no longer associate with you as you have no telepathic powers. :wink:

Oh yes, I had seen this one before. It really is amazing. Not only is it beautifully built, but the minifigs (and the captions accompanying each picture) give this model tons of personality.
Excellent attention to detail, and interesting use of the Rock Raiders canopy as a balcony.

This is the best MOC (in my very unuseful and humble opinion also hopefuly no offence to others) I have ever seen.

I remember seeing this when it was first posted on LUGNET. I loved it then and I love it now. He has a few really unique touches to his buildings. His photos really enhance his castle. The way he chose to photograph it when the tide is low, makes me visualize what it would look like at different tides. Overall this is a 10!

Castle Estuary is a beautiful MOC, now that I see the pic I think I remember when it was posted to Lugnet. Very nice work and the attention to detail is excellent. Everyone else said what was great about it so all I have to say is ditto. :)

I really like this! ~ :) ~

Its very cool and unique. I like how it combines a small village with a castle, its very LOTRish. My only gripe is its heavy reliance on Burps and Castle walls, these limit it alot, and the mountain looks too uniform. But that is only a minor problem when taken as a whole.

Wow! :shock: This is just amazing, I'm sure I have seen it before somewhere, but forgot all about it. I really like the roofs, curved walls, and use for big pink Beville pieces. Very cool.

This is a nice MOC. I especially like the use of a RockRaider’s piece for the balcony:

Josh, I didn't see the Rockraider piece.
