Happy Easter to all,
I have some pics of my Keep with the outer walls almost complete - all but the 45 degree joiners for the red tower and some of the landscaping. If you notice anything really wierd it may be something my son added that I didn't notice yet ...
I added the temple (tan structure) last night.
I am not sure where the giant girl came from but since she is watering the flowers ...
The whole thing is modular except for the main keep. I tried to follow the CCC standard but couldn't fit everything into the center of the plates and on the table - so compromise ...

Please let me know what you think.

My Keep - 1st draft
I can't wait to see the gallery. This is cool, but how does the gate open?

Henry,
the gate is set using two jet engines (http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/3475b) for hinges with a spiral stair top (http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/2476) for the upper hinge and a plate with pin (http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/2460) for the bottom.
I will try and add some pics of the back of the door but it is pretty ugly right now - needs some more plates to even it out.
Inyrana,
Yes I did run out of grey wall pieces, but had intentionally decided to do the corner in black to offset the grey - I was really happy how the corner worked out with the tower tops and small house at 45 degrees to the actual bumps, but it doe show up dark. I will have to develop an appropriate story line to explain it.
Cheers

I really like this castle... I'd love to see some more close-ups of the temple-looking builing in the center, and also the tan building too... You have some cool things going on too, and I like the "archers" weapons. The black corner is a bit different, and at first I didn't really like it... but it's not bad... and if there was a good story behind it, it would just give the castle more character~
