A Black Falcon stronghold some where in mystical Bavaria....

That's great. I like the pictures I've seen. My favorite part of your castle is the roofs on the towers.

I'm prepared for more pictures!

Wow! You just keep churing them out don't you?
I really like the way you put the wall one a slope, and turned some of the towers on angles. The blue and white tuder sections look good too, and then of course, there's that awesome keep :shock:

Great work! :D

Hello!


That's a beautiful castle. It has a nice overall shape, and the keep is - of course - great. So are the angled walls and stairs.
I do not like, though, the mystical Bavaria. :-)

Also the photography is very well done.


Bye

Thanks for the compliments.....

What about Mystical England?
You just keep churing them out don't you?
After building my castles, I eventually get bored with them in about a week or two, so I take them down & start work on something else.

On my next castle, I hope to incorporate some water (I just got some blue base plates) & a nice big draw bridge!

Wow, that castle is really awesome. It's so big and looks very realistic. I really like the different angles of the towers and stuff. Good job!

Whoah, stairs up to your round keep. What a novel concept. :roll:

You did a nice (if nearly big-gray-wall-ish) job on the curvy walls. This is one of the more natural-looking castles I've seen here. I especially like that you made all of the towers different, and the roof on the 'round' tower is pretty inventive.
Is that a secret entrance around back? Well, not very secret (since I saw it), but it looks good.

Whoa! This is a really great-looking castle. Things I like: the roof on the round keep, the tower turned 45 degrees, the 2 x 3 plate as window cover, the details around the water barrel, the rock outcropping just inside the wall. Things I dislike: The yellow pre-fab half-timber walls on the armory could be worked in better, and the half-timber sections with blue timbers looks a bit odd. But those are really minor concerns in such a beautiful MOC. It deserves to have more attention than Anthony's castle that he hasn't even shown yet.

Hey Jacob,

Awesome castle! I really like the uneven-ness--how the walls don't follow straight lines, the raised terrain on the front left, the tower at an angle, etc. Also very good to see interiors on the buildings. The postern gate is a really nice touch as well.

I think this castle is awsome. The angled and curved walls. The walls that rise onto the hill. The circlr stronghold tower. It is all awesome.

Very nice! I like the heavy duty look of the grey walls and your round keep is of course alway impressive! A bit of landscaping always looks good too!

The gatehouse could be a little better fortified though, it looks quite vulnerable to fire and could be a little bigger all around.

Overall though, very nice!

I love that castle! The raised tower is a great detail and I love how the walls aren't perfectly straight giving them a very natural feel. Great work!
