Pawel, Thanks again, I guess the Flaws arent always visible in our pics, but
only we are the ones to notice, right? The table that I had built this MOC on
isnt really that strong and it has started to Bow right down the middle, as you
can imagine, it has caused Chaos trying to keep the foundation of this model
together. All in all though, it turned out alright. I think the weight of the
model has just kept it together underneath. Only time will tell..........

Here in Australia, TLC have taken the Blue Baseplates off the shelves, and I
never ever thought this would happen, thence, I never Bought any. This would
have made building this MOC a lot quicker and easier, unfortunately I had to
settle for all those Blue bricks I have never used. At least they came into use
for something. At one stage I was thinking about building a Blue Tower just so I
could use them up.

To be honest, I had found my inspiration through many Castle fans such as
yourself, Johannes Kholer, Carney, Kev Hall, Anthony Sava and many many more.

Pawel, coming from a Fellow Castle builder, I am speechless. Thank you!!!!

I dont think that is been picky, its good to be realistic(I think) when building
something like this. Out of the four towers, only two of them have ladders.
However, the Keep has three levels and does have stair access throughout. Down
the bottom which isnt very visible looking at the pics, there is the Dungeon,
second floor being the Armory and the top floor is the Kings Throne and Siesta
room. I will have to upload all the internal pics. Its pretty cool........
