Re: CCCVIII_Castle Hadrian
Awesome! I especially like the different angles you used for different sections of the castle. Those combined with the architecture looks really good.
Re: CCCVIII_Castle Hadrian
Nice building here. I'm really liking the roof. The angles are nice too.
And do you own that fine VW you have pictured as your avatar?

Re: CCCVIII_Castle Hadrian
I saw this yesterday and I wondered why you didn't post it on here. Brilliant creation, nice angles and even better photography!

Re: CCCVIII_Castle Hadrian
This is certainly a strong opening play! Wonderfully shaped, as others have already said. The surrounding vegetation is also very nice.

Re: CCCVIII_Castle Hadrian
I love all the angles. The windows and different colored bricks mixed in look really great, not too busy, but there's plenty to look at and appreciate.
Good luck on the contest!

Peace Sells...But who's buying!

Re: CCCVIII_Castle Hadrian
you know I was just wondering what castle(s) this is based on? Great work BTW
Back to the front!
Re: CCCVIII_Castle Hadrian
Another neat MOC. There's been some corkers of late. I keep thinking I should try my hand at something bigger than the size I build (original set size) but I don't have the pieces and when I see these ones, I think why bother

Re: CCCVIII_Castle Hadrian

Re: CCCVIII_Castle Hadrian
Excellent design, detail and photography. I particularly like the crenelation upon the walls, and the detail of the courtyard within.
Bravo.
