I'm having problems with that - it has been rebuilt so many times over
the past few years - I think the problem is that I'm trying to include
lots of different features in one building. At present I plan to get
around that by building more castles! I'll post here and in
lugnet.castle if and when that happens.

No, they're standard tan ones - I'm afraid in my attempts to lighten the
photos (interiors of halls are generally not well-lit) the colour has
been lost. I don't have a huge number of special parts - off the top of
my head, the only parts I have that have never been available in any
sets are:
* a few little Maersk blue pieces
* 45 degree concave roof pieces in tan and brown (4 of each)
* possibly some of the few little pink pieces I have
* 45 degree tan roof pieces in 3x2 (1) and 4x2 (c. 30) plus ridge tiles
(c. 8)
* a few brown and tan minifig heads (no printing)
* wine glasses in tan (c. 20) and brown (few) plus cups in pink (c. 6)
* tan macaroni (c. 20)
99.9% of my Lego is ordinary, some collected when I was younger and some
more recently, including some from Bricklink. I don't think I've used
anything unusual in the castle.

Thanks! This castle will probably turn into a late 18th century Gothick
castle in the manner of James Gillespie Graham, with an added Edwardian
porte cochère, but the interior of the Great Hall will remain. I have
plans for a more generic and defensive British castle, as well as a
full-blown Scottish Baronial creation, but we'll see which make it off
the drawing board.
