Hersbrucker Posted February 4, 2020 Hello, the original Set 70678 is a Little bit disappointing, so I crated my own Version. Maybe some of you saw it on Facebook or my Instagram account 20200131_115323 by Fabian Kraus, auf Flickr 20200131_115255 by Fabian Kraus, auf Flickr 20200131_115454 by Fabian Kraus, auf Flickr 20200131_115421 by Fabian Kraus, auf Flickr 20200131_115523 by Fabian Kraus, auf Flickr 20200131_115704 by Fabian Kraus, auf Flickr 20200131_115601 by Fabian Kraus, auf Flickr 20200131_115637 by Fabian Kraus, auf Flickr I used two of the official Sets and build it on a 48x48 plate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TeriXeri Posted February 26, 2020 (edited) Looks way better when it's a proper Castle. The original set just had very little space to stand figures. Edited February 26, 2020 by TeriXeri Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fenghuang0296 Posted February 26, 2020 This is absolutely incredible. The throne is a bit of a downgrade, but everything else is just great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lyichir Posted February 27, 2020 It's a neat idea to expand the set. And your overall layout for it (with four towers at four corners of the castle instead of two towers at either end of a single wall) seems pretty solid. But the way that you've changed the stone base of the castle to make it more mountain-like, as well as increasing it in height without really increasing the height of the castle walls to match, makes it lose a bit of that Japanese castle feel that I really liked about the original. In general I feel like the heavy use of BURPs, transparent "ice" bricks, and varied colors of parts in the base complicates the architectural aesthetic to the point where the features get lost. I might suggest swapping like half of the height of the predominantly grey "base" (which you've more or less doubled in height compared to the set) for black walls and columns that more closely match the taller "towers". That would help to balance the look of the set and make the castle itself feel bigger instead of it feeling overwhelmed by the surrounding landscape. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grey Magistrate Posted March 4, 2020 This is great! I am very fond of big square castles perched on lots of high rock. I really like the added gate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
