The exterior design is fantastic, it manages to maintain a fair degree of
detail in a quite small space. My personal favourites are the sun-screens
over the windows (what a colour scheme!), and the clever use of "white
topping"; it comes out very realistic, since most of the East African arab
castles were painted white.
The arch is nicely detailed... but there is a catch in historic realism:
moslim culture forbids the representation of living creatures, so the
figures must be named "non-lions"... ;-)

I did enjoy it greatly - in fact, I must ask: will you be doing some more
stuff of the same kind? This castle is very promising!!!
Have fun,
