This time not a LEGO-designed castle but a castle as real as possible. Take
the grand tour and tell me what you think of it.
Maybe a nice idea for LEGO next year?

In my opinion (1), its not entirely “eye-friendly” (2), but the work itself is
amazing and the initial design is very nice. Its a great show piece. GREAT
JOB!!!
qualfications:
(1) my stuff isn’t that good so my opinion shouldn’t hold carry a lot of weight
to it.
(2) what I mean by this is the material “randomness” of the “stone” is too
distracting from the whole of the model. I would expect that a building would
have “splotches” of one type of rock depending on where the castle / building
was erected, and randomly filled in with other hardened material (aka other
rocks and stones) as they were collected.
It is probably my guess that, as the fields around the manor were cleared
of rock, that they were mostly likely used by the masons to erect the
castles and the foundations of the cathedrals. (thought that is just my
inference).
