I have actally reproduced the castle to the best of my ability in grey (with
black highlights). I took pictures of it that I will post soon so that all of
you can give me feed back. I will also take a few pictures of the new
iteration of the castle. I replaced a good portion of the castle walls with
newer grey castle wall pieces, which made the castle taller. I also made the
front entrance and drawbridge taller. I think it looks much better this way.
As a side note, I fortified it with Black Falcons (my favorite "kingdom").
