Uter Posted June 7, 2016 (edited) Hey all. Recently, I 've started a new castle . All the fortress that I do are of Spanish style (my country) . I show pictures of how construction goes, it is not finalized. I've been quite busy for his job but between hours I made some sketches of a new castle . I wanted to preserve part of one of my castles so moderately respected the front and part of the mountain, but what else is new . This time I will give a better finish at the foot of the mountain on small gray plates , which have not yet done . I also have plans to add more details to the fortress itself, respecting the clean walls. ( I understand that ye see " bland " but I say that personally prefer) . The castle is finished but I think add houses and a small wall to protect them. Constructions photos: The back view: Regards!

dzidek1983 Posted June 7, 2016 Great now finish the rocks with slopes :) And remember to grab the new Wolfpack Bandit Archer figure from CMF 16. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Exetrius Posted June 7, 2016 I think the rockwork is awesome, even without slopes and tiles! Looking forward to your progress. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
durazno33 Posted June 7, 2016 I always have a hard time with the rock mountains. Yours looks great so far. I also like the dimensions and ratios of the castle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrickCurve Posted June 7, 2016 Looking good! Considering that it is not finalised, it is looking great. Some changes I think you should make before you properly finish it are; some more texture in the walls, (1 x 2 tiles, masonry profile bricks, vines and log bricks) and the main tower needs to be a bit taller judging from where the window is.

bnesty Posted June 13, 2016 (edited) This work has spirit of 80s castle. Simple and effective. Real refreshment Edited June 13, 2016 by bnesty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dzidek1983 Posted June 13, 2016 If you dont use the green baseplates in the rear for building then i suggest to remove them. The build will look better with less huge unused spaces. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
durazno33 Posted June 17, 2016 I love the guys moving into the castle. My favorite is the guy looking at the box of books as I totally relate to the terror on the guys face. Too many days helping move people with too many books. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darth Wayne Posted June 18, 2016 You know... i was gonna echo what some here said and say you need more details, the rockwork needs to be "finished" etc. but then i took another look and now i actually LIKE this aesthetic. I mean, it kinda gives it a special "retro charm" if you know what i mean. Not sure if that was intentional on your part but it somehow looks like an amazing HUGE Lego fortress set from the 90s or so.... and i mean that in a very good way ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TitusV Posted June 23, 2016 Nice build! Tough some'd say you need more details, and I personally prefer that too, the lack of gives things a very classic feeling, and that's a compliment! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fuppylodders Posted June 26, 2016 I agree with Darth Wayne, the specific word I was going to use to describe this is 'retro'. I like the use of the old pieces, specially the corner wall parts, and the overall style is definitely retro, but up to date, if you know what I mean? I really like it!
