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).

Thank for visiting.
It is always difficult to choose the right colour combination for this kind of
buildings. Make it grey only, and it looks more like a concrete silo. The more
so, this would have been if the parapets were flush with the walls. More shades
of grey would be better but LEGO don’t have them. The low wall around the castle
only masks the pallet bearing the building, and is not really part of the keep.
