Miniscale Castle MOC

[juergs]

Hey guys, its been a while, but I thought I'd show you my latest project, a miniscale castle. loosely modeled after the medieval fortresses on the Rhein, I tried to design it as realistically as possible without making it look boring.

the gate, which I am particularly proud of:

and the aerial view, which shows the ramps and passageways within the walls.

To accurately depict the odd angles that really characterize the German castles, I angled the keep:

I would love some feedback/criticism! Let me know what you think!

It's great... I really love minis, and two things in particular about your model (that you addressed): the gate, and the off-angle building.

Interesting use of 1x1 tiles for battlements, too, as opposed to the usual "clip" method.

Bravo, juergs!

Now that's CUTE and very CLEVER design 'juergs' - I too feel the gate is a fantastic idea - I'm a conformist! 'juergs' I'm a conformist! !

This is a great castle juergs! I really like the gate and all of the odd angles of the buildings inside.

Awesome! The gate is excellent, but it looks like someone tried to bite their way through...
