Toltomeja Posted January 28, 2016 Yes, I know... The CCC's been over for some one month. This is my last entry - but now I present it to you in the fully finished and refined form. This is my next attempt, after last year's 'Tower of the Storms', to build a sinister-looking place. The clue feature here are the shingle roofs with black minifig flippers. I finally managed to collect a considerable amount of those - and still, a handful more would come in handy. :) At the moment when I submitted this to the contest, there was no interior yet. Instead, only some random yellow and red techni bricks scaffolding (as always). I decided to rebuild the castle completely - starting with the ground level, up to the roof. I hope the effect was worth the effort. ======== FULL PRIVATE GALLERY:: www.flickr.com/gp/toltomeja/d264m9 ======== Enjoy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Puvel Posted January 28, 2016 Oh wauw, that’s an amazing build! The exterior looks great, love the roofs and the little tower. The trees, cave and swamp are a perfect setting for it. But that interior! Damn, that is just amazeballs! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Graham Gidman Posted January 28, 2016 Absolutely fantastic! Great color choices. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eanair Posted January 29, 2016 It was such a treat to look at these pics! The level of detailing is amazing. And the vaulted ceiling, staircase and gravity defying turret - so so good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KlodsBrik Posted January 29, 2016 Awesome building and lovely interior. The whole layout is great and looks beautiful from whatever angle one is looking at it. Seriously a great build ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Staslegomaster Posted January 29, 2016 Such an amazing creatio both outside and inside! Before the first LEGO Pirates sets were issued, LEGO Castle was the most impressive series of all. And your marvelous, classic looking creation proves - why. The combination of stone and wood looks great. I like the playability of your creation and that you combined a few different ideas in one set. And I like the story, too. LEGO has a few vampire mini figures - which is your favourite one?

Tezclatipoca Posted January 29, 2016 Excellent build ! I always loved flipper roofs ! And the interior is great ! It is definitely worth it you made it from ground to the roof ! Great job ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
neonic Posted January 29, 2016 I always liked gothic (style) stuff. Great build, with a lot of nice details. I like the 'hanging' tower', and the interior is great. Nice color scheme too with that light blue And those shields and big axes on the wall are cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blufiji Posted January 29, 2016 Im glad you went all out and did an interior. What a castle! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

soccerkid6 Posted January 29, 2016 I commented on Classic-Castle already, but I'll add to that here: your interior looks great overall and has the small details that really make it stand out, like the shields on the wall, and crossed axes Plus a great chandelier and plenty of candles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
durazno33 Posted January 30, 2016 This is my number one pick for winning the Forbidden Fortress category of CCCXIII. Well done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lindulan Posted January 30, 2016 Wow. I can't really add much to the discussion besides agreeing with the others about how amazing this is! I particularly like the chandelier, which along with the candles and pole arms really creates a perfect Gothic feel. But I'm constantly amazed by how expert MOCers such as yourself can create such incredible exteriors...I have a long way to go... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aredhel Posted January 30, 2016 Hi! Wow, that's a really nice build - though the light grey colour scheme seems a bit "friendly" for Dracula's castle. That could have been a bit "darker". The hanging tower looks very nice and fits perfect to the whole architecture of your MOC. The details inside the castle are well done - especially the stairs have something special.

Toltomeja Posted January 31, 2016 LEGO has a few vampire mini figures - which is your favourite one? In fact, I've never been much into the official figs. The only one I know is the one from Collectible Minifigures that I have (and whose hair I used here). Only the head wasn't entirely suiting in my opinion, so I replaced it with the green one. I have a long way to go... Hah, this is the very thing I sometimes repeat to myself. There'll always be some MOCs and techniques that I admire, so why not get inspired? Besides, I've seen a oouple of your works and there's really no reason to underrate oneself :) Thanks for the comments, I'm always glad to hear some! And I'll have to agree that the castle could be a tiny bit darker and more sinister. Apparently I was lacking some color between LBG and DBG. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
