My goal is to build it with an open back for more detail inside.

I am nearing the point of trying to hire someone to build for me!

I know that building takes a little talent and a lot of time but geeeeez.

I wonder if there are any plans out there somewhere for a larger castle that I
can build and make changes to until my creative juices start flowing.

I'll echo Leo: research. Look through Brickshelf for castles, check out the
links on the castle sidebar - Robert Carney's site is particularly inspiring
(and intimidating!) as a guide to modeling real castles with Lego; Sava's Ikros
stuff really showcases some excellent fantasy building as well as good detail
work.  I'm sure I'm missing a bunch.

Check out your local library - in my experience librarians are always willing to
help narrow down your search to get to a few really useful books.

Hope that helps!
