Looks GREAT! Very nice stylization of a wolf's head. One suggestion, if
you have the resources, is to make it brown. Or most of it brown with
the grey slopes as accents. All stone battering rams would have been a
bit heavy to shove into castle doors.

Great falcon!!! What set did you get those blue castle formed pieces
from? The ones on the top of your wings and the tail section? I don't
think I've ever seen those...

What an amazing fortress!!! I was really impressed. I love to see what
people do with BURPs and how they build up many different layers to
create such a large, imposing structure out of Lego. I can't wait to
hear the stories you'll come up with for this one!

(...) IIRC there were some on a castle boat of some kind, I think it was called sea serpent or something. (26 years ago, 4-Jan-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.castle)
