Athos Posted October 27, 2009 Thought I needed to do up a Halloween MOC, so here is Castle Frankenstein: http://www.flickr.com/photos/37777874@N06/...57622671051798/ Its loosely based on the real Castle Frankenstein, seen here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castle_Frankenstein Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Blackmoor Posted October 27, 2009 That is quite nice! The trees are also very nice. Perhaps some spiders, webs and a different colour ground, like brown, black, dark grey and small green pieces makes it more spooky. It is meant for halloween at least.

Legostein Posted October 27, 2009 (edited) Hello! That's great! I am impressed by the tower spires where you used wedge bricks, which is very creative! I've recently been there! I don't live far away from there and we had celebration with friends. Around the yard, the crew has just been preparing several Halloween attractions with ghost shrouds, skeletons, fireworks and all these things, as you can imagine.

Milan Posted October 28, 2009 I like the idea you are using. Castle looks good. The whole setup is very well made! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Athos Posted October 28, 2009 That's great! I am impressed by the tower spires where you used wedge bricks, which is very creative! That was someone else's idea. Though I don't remember who's. And I will take credit for being the first person to clearly photograph the idea for copying by the rest of the community... I've recently been there! I don't live far away from there and we had celebration with friends. That's funny. Even though I knew it was a real place, it never occurred to me that some members might have actually been there... I guess the name Castle Frankenstein is just so iconic, that I subconsciously don't think about it being a real visitable place. Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
I Scream Clone Posted October 29, 2009 Nice work Athos, this is a nice representation of Castle Frankenstein. I love the evocative dark mood to the creation, especially with the dead person in the sulkie. The towers and landscape look great, and the face on the entrance looks great. Say, when did you find time to build? I thought you would be busy changing nappies Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Athos Posted October 29, 2009 Say, when did you find time to build? I thought you would be busy changing nappies Actually this was another (and the last) MOC that I did pre-baby and saved to post for Halloween. Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Cam Posted October 29, 2009 Castle looks good, I especially liek the dark trees. Regular green ones would have looked to happy and bright. Any close ups of the action? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Athos Posted October 29, 2009 Any close ups of the action? Yes. There are pictures of most everything, including close up of the spire designs and interior of all the rooms, in the flickr gallery. Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Karzon989 Posted November 4, 2009 Very nice. I like it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Batbrick Posted November 4, 2009 Very neat castle Athos, love the two towers and the angry mob! I think the castle is a little too blocky in places but other than that is really neat. My favourite touch is the dead body excavated from the cemetery. Batbrick Away! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
