Let me be the first to congratulate you on your very unique 'castle' structure.
I am continuously amazed by people's ability to use wacky colors in subtle
ways. The structure itself and architectural 'style' is both unique and
pleasing. I recognize some of your resources, and the blending of styles is
great. I'm blown away that the pink roof doesn't seem out of place.
I'd love to see some close-ups of the bell and tower roof. Seems like you
managed a large bell shape fairly well. Have you thought of doing it in sand
green (aged copper/bronze)? Probably only possible if you have the Statue of
Liberty set.
Way to go! Can't wait to see more.
