Here are some pics of the almost finished product.  I've got 99% of the
exterior done and most of the interior design completed.  I'll be adding more
interior detail like furniture, some tiled flooring and of course occupants.
The last two pics reveal a couple other new creations, a new tower at the
left rear corner of the Royal Quarters, and a couple new shops in front of the
church to the right of the Royal Quarters.

At this point I probably have space and ideas for 2-3 more structures withing
hte castle walls - those are next on the to-do list.  I've also got to populate
the castle with more minifigs.

Next on the agenda is the exterior, with the drawbridge landing and gatehouse
coming first, then the moat and landscaping around the castle.  Hopefully a
modest waterfall and forested area too.

My one dilemma is exterior buildings, etc.  After seeing some of the peasant
houses done by others, I'd like to try my hand at a small village.  Problem is
I lack space to do it (darn castle is too big).  I'd also like to have some
sort of seaport which would also take a fair bit of square footage.  I
guess I'll just have to build it all and rotate what is displayed next to the
castle.

Thanks for reading, enjoy the pics.

(...) Nicely done. I really liked the way you integrated the lion head elements. The variety of architecture works very well too - different window styles, rooflines/colors, etc, all contribute to a very "real" feel to it. (...) "build it all and (...) (25 years ago, 3-Apr-00, to lugnet.castle)
