Wow! I didn't see that tower coming, *huh*  but what a fantastic idea it is. Excellent technique too! :wub:
I like the slopes sandwiched between the walls. :grin:

Your work is amazing, it really is. Everything is so beautiful, and detailed. I can't wait to see when it is finished! I love the cliff design the most I think.

Mayday if at all possible could you show me and others how you did the Tree Base with the 1x2 Log bricks? I have been trying and i can figure it out. I started a seperete thread but i think its wiser to ask here.

Great to see new progress pictures, maydayartist! :thumbup: Good start on the tower and that archway looks pretty nice. Those trees with more leaves are a nice improvement. I can't wait to see more, very inspirational!

I notice an old plate (from 80's pirate sets) with an island in the middle : that's a good idea.

Mu-hu-hu-hu-ha-ha-ha-ha! I got about 1,000 of those log pieces off my nearby Lego Store's PAB wall. Now all I need is some more greenery...

I took the time to see every post mayday. I can't wait to see it when its done!

Here is one next step for my castle.
Only the small edge is on studline.
Much work for those little details.
Hope such a detail won't get down when all is done.
We will see.

Enjoy

Looking fantastic, but I'd like to see it from a different angle to it more from the side and how it looks like that.

Backside is ok?
I have now changed the angle wall from the last picture to a smaller octagonal tower.

The door is functional as always.

This thing is massive! A single building on this is probably larger than my entire parts collection! I love how the octagonal towers are coming along. About how tall do you plan to build the castle? :hmpf: (looking up)
Also, nice use o those new flat round studs. They add a lot to the cobblestone floor. Now I must get some!

Do I spy a use of the Brickarms u-clip technique to create the vent flaps on the red and white tent, or is it a use of the corner panel technique?

That gives me some ideas. Well then, back to building.
