hello all, i would like to add to the castle community by putting up for
scrutiny my new crusader keep.
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=49567
it is my second attempt at a castle, and far more satisfying than my first one
let me tell you, i am quite happy with the way it turned out!there is really
nothing to actually identify it as a crusader keep except for the guards, but
i always liked that line the best, so i built it with them in mind. there is
no landscaping, because i have no green bricks, but eventually i will try a
landscaped castle. sorry about the pictures, i am not much of a photographer.
:-) in any case, please give me some feedback, whether it be on design, color,
accuracy to real castles, etc... thanks and hope you enjoy!
thanks

Hey Steve,
Let me first say that I am very impressed. For a second attempt, you’ve far
exceeded any castle I’ve ever done. Does the castle have a functional interior,
or is it just a shell? Either way, great job! In fact, I’ve been looking to do
another castle, and this has really inspired me. Don’t be surprised if you see
a very similar castle coming out of my neck of the woods.
As for landscaping, I wouldn’t worry too much about it. I’m no expert, but I
would think that caslte defenders would want as little trees and other things
around their castle so that no one could be hidden from view.
I love the color, but I’m a big fan of light grey ;)
As for the design and accuracy, I dunno. Like I said, I’m no expert. But let
me say this. If you were to tell me that it was an exact scale replica of a
real keep somewhere in England, I’d believe you.
Great job!
