mediterranean outpost

Here is my latest creation, I ran out of time, (I'm going to move to a new apartment) so I didn't put much effort on the minifigs.
The idea was to create an roman outpost somewhere in the Mediterranean sea, but I don't own any figs that are even close to Romans so I had to populate it with crownies!
I can't say how much I'm waiting for the collectable Spartans, They are definitely getting their own creation as soon as I own a few!
I hope u like it! All kinds of feedback is welcome!

Very nice. Only thing I would change would be to add dark bley bricks and/or tan bricks in with the walls. Other than that, love the layout and design.

Nice, I love the multiple levels, the well, and the tower especially. Nice job on the rocks too.

doesn't look very roman to me, even ignoring the crownies. Well built though

I'd have to agree. To me, it looks like something much more Northern, English or otherwise.

I like it a lot though. :)

Very nice castle, not too large but tall and with a lot of levels, which is good.
I really love the neat architecture. Lot of inspiration.

Thank you all for the feedback!
yeah I know I'm too strictly bound to one colour and I need to use some other colours to make it more, alive. And when it comes to the Roman outpost I steel feel like it's roman, of course there are some new elements in it and some things that are historically incorrect. but i got the inspiration while studying Italian environment and communication, so the whole moc started when I built the squares that are inserted in the walls... and also the arcs etc...
I needed to place it in southern europe because otherwise my poor minifigs would freeze to death when i dont have any doors...
Thank you
Jakob

Nice MOC. I like the design of the castle and the beach. I haven't seen a lot of medium blue used for water, and it does invoke the feel of the mediterranian. It's to bad you don't have more dark bley, as I think the rocks the castle are on would look a lot better in that color.

Wow this is simply, one great MOC. I love the variety in wall design and the small beach-like area. The choice in SNOT sand and water was a good one. Plus, the little oven thing was very cool as well as the well. Overall, you did a very nice job with the design and details. Good job, keep it up!
