I have after many months posted some pictures of my Castle in its Stage 4
guise. I think thats it complete. The only way I might go from here is to
add a town wall or the like. I've tried to capture the new part of it from
as many angles as possible (without too many tedious repetetive shots) I do
have a pile more photos so if you fancy a better look at any part let me
know and I'll have a rummage. I _will_ take interior shots of it too ..
honest .. no really.
As always let me know what you think.

I've got a déjà-vu.
Hello James!
That's a great castle and a very nice scenery.
It's what I would call sort of "enhanced set style", and I really like that kind
of stuff.
Bye

Thanks Jojo. Assuming I guess correclty what you mean by "enhanced set
style", thats what I was after. I want it to have similar selective
compression to a LEGO set. So even though its larger than a official set,
the official sets wont look out of place with it.

Looking great James. The project is definitely coming along. I like the houses
out by the docks. They are all
clustered together, but
still have individual identities.
Well done, thanks for sharing.

Thanks Jason. The houses I've been boilding for a long time ever since first
stealing .. err I mean being inspired by Jon Furmans creations. So each one
tends to be a variation (and hopefully an improvement) of the last, then
stick them nice and close together and you get a nice effect.
thanks

(Taking some time to post here, as I see something really nice!)
What else can I say, other than excellent?
How about good form and composition? There's such a nice assortnemt of
forms and structures, and that definitely catches my eye. The building style in
particular (tudor) is pretty much timeless, and the detailing seems pretty good.
The only things I can reccommend would be some additions on the flat walls (such
as under the windows, or inbetween lenthy sections, just to give it a bit of
depth.
The framing of the shots works quite well for most of the pictures taken.. These
two in particular stood out to me.

If you want to exaggerate perspective a bit on these shots, a wide angle lens
might help, if you've got one on hand.
Regardless, I like the modelling work. I look forward to your interior shots.

Thanks Matt you make some good points. I was a bit concerned about the front
of the new building but when I added detailing to the windows it appeared to
be overly heavy. I think maybe just adding detail to one or two of the
windows may help lift it a bit, also prehaps using jumpers to get a 1/2 stud
protrusion .. hmmm.. thanks I may well revisit that and see how it looks .
thanks

James,
As always, incredible work. I think if I were a minifig, this is where I would
live. In fact my minifigs are jealous of your minifigs! Keep up the awesome
work, I love seeing your stuff. I can't wait to see interiors as well. Jon

Thanks Jon, that means a lot to me coming from you as it was my minifigs
jelousy of your minifigs houses that pursuaded me to build a lot of the
stuff I have in the first place :)
Thanks
