Bytor Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Hey guys, This build was just a redo of a castle set i wish i had when i was a kid. A friend told me to enter it into CCCXII so I did but it didn't really fit in to any categories so I entered it into miscellaneous - large. This would have been good in last years categories, as there was a category for a redo of and old set with new parts. But whatever I'm very happy with this build. (also the gate at the front can be raised and lowered by the chains attached and in the middle of the castle there is a trap door that falls down to imprison unwanted intruders) Enjoy guys and let me know what you think! Front view: Rear view Dragon close up: Quote
ArchitectureFan Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 The fortress is a pedestal for the dragon? Excellent! Quote
Balbo Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) Wow, the dragon looks awesome! The fortress with the detailled wall and the rockwork is fantastic, too! Great job Edited January 5, 2015 by Balbo Quote
Tomsche Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Awesome looking build, and a great use of the Umbar sails, I love it! Quote
Graham Gidman Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) Lots to love here! Great work! Edited January 5, 2015 by Graham Gidman Quote
Captain Braunsfeld Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 You can be very happy with this build! I like the rear view the most. And the dragon. A custom dragon, that is very good! Quote
Kodan Black Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Really cool build! I like the moss covered rocks and the dragon. The dragon is very imposing and dominates well as dragons should! Quote
markus1984 Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Fantastic! The rock work with the integrated stairs looks really good, the castle is also nice and i love how you made the dragon! A really good remake of the 6082 Set. markus Quote
Bytor Posted January 5, 2015 Author Posted January 5, 2015 Hey guys thanks alot for all the love! I appreciate it. To all who mentioned my rock work, this is the 3rd try at a staircase that "blends" with a cliff. I can post some WIP pictures if you guys care to see the previous versions. Thanks again everybody.

K-Nut Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Very nice interpretation! 6082 remains to this day my favorite set, and though I do appreciate its classic charm and colors, this is a very nice redo of it. The gate, staircase, and extra floor above the dragon pen are all very, very nice. Maybe you could try your hand at some other redos akin to this? I'd be very interested in seeing what else you can do to revitalize Classic Castles. Quote
Captain Braunsfeld Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Hey guys thanks alot for all the love! I appreciate it. I can post some WIP pictures if you guys care to see the previous versions. Yes, I'd be interested. Quote
Bytor Posted January 8, 2015 Author Posted January 8, 2015 So for those who asked, here are shots of the First build The second And the Final So there you are. Thanks for checking this out! Any feedback, questions or comments is greatly encouraged! Quote
Captain Braunsfeld Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Not bad. I like the SNOT technique for the path. I could use that for my MOCs. Quote
