Lion Knights’ Fortress in the Sea

I am happy to be able to share my first castle MOC of 2024, Lion Knights’ Fortress in the Sea.

Here are some stats on the build:

-        Pieces: approx. 2,823

-        Unique colours: 11

-        Footprint: 32 x 32 baseplate

-        Inspirations: Brother Steven’s Rosewood Hall for the shape, classic Lego castles like 6086 and 6090-1 for the colour schemes

-        Process: built in Studio first then in physical bricks

Thank you for looking!

Excellent work! I can't decide which roof I like more! The all blue forestmen is a nice touch. I love the color scheme, I'm used to castles that are mostly grey with black trim, and this is a stylish inversion of that.

Great keep. The design works well. I enjoy seeing the carriage wheels for the decorative windows in the main hall.

Great design choices!  Looks like a modern classic castle.  I like the merlon design.
