| Hi all, I present Cliffton Castle: (URL) (pic=link to gallery) deeplinks at bottom of post : ) Cliffton Castle, known locally as the 'Castle of Three Trees' (all right, there are six trees if you want to be picky...), is an outpost of the great (...)

| (...) Very nice work. An impressive build. The landscaping and how the castle is built around it is excellent. I'm not too sure about (URL) house. An interesting color scheme. I really like these (URL) guys> working. (URL) Clever use> of the (URL) (...) (19 years ago, 12-Jun-05, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.pirates, FTX)

| (...) Thanks! I am glad you appreciated the landscaping (I alwys consider it my best work...) I'm sorry the oar maker isn't to your taste...One, or two colours too many? : ) Actually I really needed it to lighten the whole MOC and focus the eye into (...)

| (...) I like it a lot. The big thing for me is the feel of a living community. The variety of structures helps there as does the landscaping. The town on a hill feel is very effective. Good interiors too, but I couldn't satisfy one of my favorite (...) (19 years ago, 13-Jun-05, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.pirates)

| (...) It's just my opinion, so I don't know how much it matters, but yeah, it seems like it has too many colors. Right now it has white, blue, yellow, black, and green (oh and brown details and a red sign). I think that if you replaced the white on (...) (19 years ago, 13-Jun-05, to lugnet.castle, FTX)
| | | | | Re: Cliffton Castle
|
| (...) Good points... I tried a blue roof originally (no pics unfortunately...) and it did look better on the building (as did taking away some yellow) but it made the pier loose influence on the whole MOC so I went for loud for the sake of the (...)

| (...) Thanks for the comments! Rest assured there are stairs, doors, access etc.. to everywhere, they just don't make for as interesting pics to the average observer ; ) Thanks again and God Bless, Nathan (19 years ago, 13-Jun-05, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.pirates)

| (...) I'm not a castle guy, but this is very impressive. I like the inclusion of water and trees as natural elements. The building style incorporating stone and wood buildings is very nice. And of course the inclusion of all the little details like (...) (19 years ago, 13-Jun-05, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.pirates, FTX)

| (...) Hey Nathan, there is alot to like in here: aysmetrical castle, giant beacon, water feature, sculpted terrain...and plenty of action to please the mainline hot weather crowd. Excellent attention to detail throughout. My personal favorites are (...) (19 years ago, 13-Jun-05, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.pirates, FTX)

| (...) Nathan, This rocks! Even though you took a lot of pictures, I'm finding it frustrating, because of all that you included, I would just want to spend a very long time looking at it in person. It's an incredible MOC, very well integrated, how (...) (19 years ago, 14-Jun-05, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.pirates, FTX)

| (...) Thanks! Funny you would want to ruin it with a ship (LOL). I considerd this for a while but it would have to be very small so as not to dwarf the dock and I am not as skilled as 'some' in that department... Thanks again and God Bless, Nathan (19 years ago, 14-Jun-05, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.pirates, FTX)
| | | | | Re: Cliffton Castle
|
| (...) A lot of pics I know... but I found it frustrating to capture 'being there'... It definately looks better in person but you could say the same of many MOCs. Incidently, you replying makes me consider the greatness of Lugnet... 3 years ago I (...) (19 years ago, 14-Jun-05, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.pirates, FTX)
