Very good work. We can immediately recognize the castle. That kind of building is unusual in the community, that's good to see, some times, a castle which is not a stronghold or of military usage. Again, very good work.

The original castle is captured perfectly in this.

Perfect replica. I love to built them myself too.
It is just so hard to build cone roofs. If they are small square shaped roofs are OK, but with bigger...

Bit of a mine but I wanted to say that this looks very good. We were lucky to visit this site during our Christmas trip and to see it in Lego form is pretty cool. Look forward to seeing the end product!

Thanks Redav. I am still waiting a large shipment of roof (aka black slopes) from Denmark to finish it 100% :(
