Black Dragons Castle MOC

[MCNwakeboard]

Being that the dragons do not have a decent castle to date...I decided to copy the King's Castle design and substitute the grey for black and the red with brown/dark green. While I realize that very little creativity is needed to swap colors, I wanted to post to picture in case anyone is interested in what it looks like. Most of the blacks are from my collection with the exception of the wall panels that I procured from bricklink. I'll be changing the gatehouse to incorporate a wind-up drawbridge in the near future to something similar to my Lion Castle. Comments are welcome Flickr

Wow, Great job! The Dragons needed a castle and boy did you provide! the first thing I noticed before reading your description was it's similarity to the lion's castle, but I still think that it's great! So far, I think this is the largest dragons moc on eurobricks!

It looks very good, with a similar structure but also some differences so it's not exactly a carbon-copy. To be honest, I like the color-scheme a lot more than the original. I also noticed the dark-green lady.

One thing: all of the slopes on the battlements are dark green; maybe you could replace some with pearl gold ones for variation.

Very interesting MOC! I sure hope the Dragon Knights get their own large castle before the Kingdoms line is finished. I'm pretty counting on seeing one for them in 2012 but it doesn't look like they will be getting one this year.

That's really an interesting MOC, who would've thought that the simple swapping of colored parts can result in a different-looking structure even if they are built in exactly the same way. It's nice to see the Black Dragons finally having their own castle fortress, even if they hired the same architect as the Lions Kingdom. Great job MCNWakeboard!

That's some really good stuff, looks like a legit LEGO set.

Nice one! It definitively looks more spicey in black!

[ziljin]

Wow that looks incredible. Great idea.

[Niku]

Wow¡

So that is how it seems.

Lately I had the same idea, just dont have the enough amount of bricks.

Nonetheless good work.

Lookin' good! This really fits in with the Dragon Knight's theme and style. Good job, MCNwakeboard.

Nice Castle. How did you build the towers roof? I would really like to see a little bit more of the Queen. Which parts did you usw for her dress? Sadly the torch makes it impossible to see more.

Edit2: Sorry for Thread necromancing. But i did not see that topic before.

The castle has changed to something a bit more triangular now

I posted some extra pictures on flickr

Very well done and I must say very cool idea!

[Tontus]

The clone castle is pretty cool, but I really like what you've done to the King's Castle. I recently bought a second set to add depth and width, but after seeing the extra height, I may have to reconsider my plan. Or maybe get 2 more sets and do both.

[MCNwakeboard]

The only problem with the depth is that it makes it harder to access the interior. So yes, either buy more or don't plan on playing with it to much. I think it is a great castle though because it is easy to expand.
