It's looking good! The use of tan really serves the model well, and it just screams defensibility as a castle site. Hopefully we'll
see the battlements rise just like in the old days!
Just a question: Are you going to mottle up that light grey cliff-face so it's not so uniform, using a few dkgrey bricks, a handful of
green bricks, and a few plant bits? It might get the BURP feeling out of the rocks, and make it even more evocative of a cliff face.
(Or, eschew the green to keep it nice, dark, and foreboding. Add dark grey falcons for bonus creepiness.)
As far as the sea cave, which is truly HUGE (you been watching too much "Goonies," or something?) isn't there some kind of flying
buttress method possible in LEGO? Perhaps a LOT of half-arch pieces? I saw the large black pillar (support?) and wonder if you could
widen the base a few studs and taper it in and out into a joined stalactite/stalagmite--that would be extremely cav-ey, and might still
give you the needed support.
Just a few thoughts.
