Awesome! I especially like the different angles you used for different sections of the castle. Those combined with the architecture looks really good.

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?

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

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

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!

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 :lol:

Excellent design, detail and photography. I particularly like the crenelation upon the walls, and the detail of the courtyard within.

Bravo.
