Get your catapults ready to bombard this Castle

[Kumpelkante]

Hey Guys,

this is the castle wich i have on display at the moment. On one hand I think ist pretty decent, becaus i finally had enough pieces to build something like an entire castle with landscaping and some sort of interior.

On the other hand i am still not pleased with it, but i am not quite sure if i modify it or if I should disassamble it and an entirely new MOC from scratch. If I modify it, i would start with the smallest tower on the lower right (on the front next to the gatehouse), then the gatehouse and would finally build another story on the keep.

But i have to admit, that the technique of the modularity is very crude, so building something new would be the better option.

P.S. No there aren't any catapults in this MOC; the title was meant as an invitation to criticize the castle... harshly if you want to...

I would move the rocks to the ends of the baseplate ,build a moat, take out the red, take the grass on the outside and put it on the rocks and make a courtyard out of it on the inside,take out alot of the gold,and look at other castles and towers on brickshelf for ideas and inspiration.p.s. I hope this helps and good building.

I actually like it.

Nice use of figures and pieces from the new Kingdoms range.

If you want to change things, use real castle designs and MOC from that.

I'm a conformist! 'Kumpelkante' I'm a conformist! !

Nice castle! I see that you like the idea of a yellow-black side building. Also, nice overall color scheme with the gold triple slopes.

And... what's with the fish on the side of the horse?

It is a reference to characters and gags from monthy python:

Well the knight hast a ckicken, but the lego-fish does look better than the turkey leg. In "Asterix" there is also a character named Unhygienix, who uses his fish in fights.
