Darraor Castle

[soccerkid6]

Credit for the tree design goes to Brother Steven. This is my second largest build ever at 64x48 (plus the border), and weighing over 21 pounds. It was built over a period of 8 days.

There's a full interior, and the castle doors work.

Sir Glorfindel attends a feast held at Darraor Castle, a Mitgardian fortress located near the Avalonian border, the feast was supposed to promote diplomatic relations between the two guilds, but not all of the guests seem pleased about this:

Awesome- my favourite part is the covered walkway.

[Graham Gidman]

Amazing, just amazing!

[Gideon]

Really cool build, I like the level of detail and the balance between wooden and stone parts

Great work here SK! I love how natural the buildings flow into the sorrounding landscape! The covered walkway is a great detail and something I have never seen in lego before

[Capt Wolf]

So much detail. And the interior is great!

[Blufiji]

Wonderful job!

[LordDan]

Nice idea with the covered walkway! The SNOT rockwork also looks great, and the castle itself is fantastic!

[LittleJohn]

Stunning build! I love all the angled sections in the wall and the little waterfalls are excellent

Fantastic trees and interior as well

[Alfadas]

Nice one! Love the rocks next to the river, the walkway over the river, everything looks great!

[Gunman]

Really great moc mate.. This bridge is fantastic.

[Maxim I]

Absolutely stunning!!!

[Captain Braunsfeld]

Excellent build, fantastic job on the irregular wall!

Great landscape too. Buildings remind me of Rohan.

[Sir Gillian]

Wow!! Lovely build! Everything is fantastic!

[Bregir]

I loved it when I saw it on flickr, and I love it now - There are so many great details, but the overall composition and the completeness of the moc is what really make it stand out for me!

[Robin Creations]

Fantastic build ! I really love the walkway!

[Basiliscus]

Wow, soccerkid6! This is amazing!

Where do I start? Very natural rockwork supporting the castle, and very innovative solution to crossing the moat. Really "believable" landscaping outside too.

Top work

[Balbo]

Fantastic work!

The roof, the vegetation and the castle itself look amazing . The walkway is awesome, too!

There is so much to like on this!

The covered walkway is particularly good - and not something I've seen a lot of either!

Well done

Gosh, that's so beautiful SK! The wood housing on top of the wall looks amazing, and the landscaping is really giving the feeling of spring. I also really like that the wall looks a bit ruff, rather than polished with battlements - it gives the feel of an old wall/fortress that's been modified.

[Garmadon]

Stupendous build SK, lovely landscaping and excellent work with both the stone and wooden sections of the castle!

Excellent covered bridge into the castle as well, and fantastic interior - overall a thoroughly top-notch build

Thanks Gideon, this was my first time doing a stone castle with large wooden sections too

Thanks dG, it seems like it would have been done before, but I can't think of any builds with a covered bridge like this.

So much detail. And the interior is great!

Thanks!

Wonderful job!

Thank you, and yeah i really liked the crumbling look of the outer wall

What a great keep! The combination of wood work and stone is fantastic. That bridge is a wonderful and very unique idea. And of course the rock work is awesome.
