Hi Pawel,
Thanks for your kind words!

This is surely a cool idea. The castle is mounted on two green 12x24
bricks and I could try using tiles to make the castle removable. The
rock is hollow so apart from a passage there's plenty of room to
build also build a cellar, storage rooms and/or quarters for a few
soldiers.
Another idea is to build another rock with stairs going up and connect
it to the castle with a hangbridge over a river.
I'll think about it and show it if I come up with something.
Generally when starting a new MOC I try to add some things I
never did before, but there are always more things I should leave
for another time. I find that if I start too ambitious on a model that
the result is not very satisfying. Too many things to take into
account at the same time and it eventually becomes a mess. By
limiting my goals I can concentrate on them better, and once I've
figured out how to do something specific it is not all that hard
anymore when I want to use that on another model, and I can
concentrate on other challenges.
Building in a modular fashion so that the structure can be taken
apart and everything inside, including stairs en such, are visible
is something I haven't really tackled yet.
I agree that this model doesn't have an obvious entrance, sorry
for that. Do I cheer you up some if I reveal that a MOC I'm
currently working on has not only one or two, but a total of
ten entrances? :o)

The minifigs are supposed to pose as craftsmen using the chains to
pull the bird up. The shot was taking during building.
Cheers,
Twan.
