Cool, you should look at mine sometime.

How tall is this model?

This is awesome! I love almost everything about it, in particular I love the windows.

It is absolutely amazing, with all the details, and night pictures give it just that final touch...

I can't believe that I haven't commented on this :D... anyway ofc it looks great, big, detailed and amazing ;)

absolutely incredible!!!!!

Ok, this is nice, and this isn't common you find a great builder like you! P.S. Do you like Croatian music? My dad plays a lot of that stuff, and Slovenian music, too!

Super towers and cool atmosphere!

WOW! Thats all I can really say!

HOLY COW!!!! How did you get so much detail in it?

OMG!

Majita: What can I say? At a loss for words, the only thing is--stunning. Such creations are so astounding we need not comment, they speak for themselves.

WOW ,amazing ,you built a dream for lego fans ,,,you a realy creativ

Let me say this: STUNNING. It is to this level of quality building that I aspire.

I agree with Mark, one of the finest castle MOC's, (if not the THE finest castle MOC) ever!!! Beautiful!!

This is ART. PURE ART.

Oh, I know 1567 is not Middle Ages, but that's looks like from my favorite times. AWESOME again!

Oh, you did excellent job! I know you're AFOL and you're better than kids like me.... but this's unbelievable, even if you're AFOL! This is my one of my favorite creations, I'll add you to my favorite builders. I very like history, especially Middle Ages. AMAZING!!!

Awesome dude, easily the best MOC I've seen in my life. Everything, from the castle architecture to the rock detail is superb, great job! P.S.( i applied to join you r group but you never got back.)

im becoming a fan of castles! and this one is simply beautiful! amazing job with everything, mainly interiors

wow this even greater than the first one!! you did a great job. the part from the middle is very creative, and i liked a lot the tower!

how much do you want for it? so amazing i would buy it in a heartbeat! excellent work!

I'm not a big fan of castles, but this is AWESOME! That is all:)

WHOA AMAZING!

Thanks. I still don't know. We have an exhibition here in Zagreb in May, so I will build some more dioramas for that occasion. And one of those will come to BW with me. I just still don't know which one.

What is left to say? I love the arch (thanks for the wip pics), the water, and how the whole castle seems to flow out of the rocks. A stunning build, but will it be coming to Chicago next year? Lee.

impressive! simply beautiful

This is just amazing! So many good details makes itjust icredible. What a patience!

How long did that take you?

How long did that take you?

Simply astounding man, there are no words for this. I'm just gonna go look at it again. ~T

That last picture...*sniff* amazing, beautiful, awe inspiring thing in the backround...*sniff*. Now lets talk about the castle itself. Equally inspiring, maybe not quite as beautiful, but more amazing. I love how you it seems the castle forms from the rock.

Amazing work mate. According to this Lego castle you must be a brilliant architect. Keep on brickin' :)

Brilliant stuff! I like every single detail you added into this great creation, everything looks perfect around here, just keep building awesome MOCs >>> peace.. Firas

A truly beautiful, creative work, in all its details.

That's amazing. The level of realism in relation to the small scale. Thumbs up!

One word: WOW. The hard work really paid off, and the prize you get for this is... you are now one of my favorite builders :D Hope to see more good material. Bye.

Bricklink. :) Thanks for commenting.

absolutely amazing. period. Where did u get all of the dark grey and light grey pieces?

From the jumping dolphin to the light up lights, this is one insanely epic build!

Oh Matija...now you're making me want to start building castles (and just when I got into building Classic Space). I've been out of the loop a few days on business, but wanted to make sure I comment on this. Great work on expanding the legend of Castle Rock. The story is great, but the MOC is outstanding. The level of detail and the overall design is so beautiful. I love the rock work you have done and the concept of this MOC is very unique. Great work!!!

WOOOOOW! talk about a lot of lego pieces!

Wow now thats a big castle, like the arched windows

Excellent work.My No.1! :)

Wow ! It amazes me at what some people can make out of lego .

WOW! I can only aspire to build something this good. The best thing in the whole MOC is the garden. WOW!

This castle is good, but what really tops it off(in my opinion) is the area underneath it. I can almost see the tide rising and falling. Terrific job.

WOW!!!

This is gorgeous, makes me want to try a castle myself. Very inspiring. But I reckon your royal family is in big trouble if they hope a castle can save them! They should have invested in better equipped and trained soldiers when they had the chance... lol. great build dude.

Matija, your creations amaze me every time. I thought you were building something "on the side" when you mentioned a castle. Now that I see it - WOW! You are a true Lego master, I mean this literally, since one learns from masters, as I plan to :-)

Nice work are you sure it's 20,000 brick's because that seems like to many. so if you could count the bricks during the deconstruction that would be good. Could I this moc http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/158821 get me into your group best of castle? And great work with the rocks

so alot of it is small parts that makes more sence considering most people have around 50,000 bricks

that arch puzzles me too Eggy.

I can't say anything that hasn't already been said, so...WOW~H

I'm not a great fan of the castle theme but this is just amazing! there is no lack or end to the attention to creativity and detail. I have a question though, how did you manage to hold all of it together? Great job!

The SNOT work on this is extreme. The rocks are spectacular. Another magnificent build by the master!

Comment are useless when one is standing in front of this creatin.

A fantastically unique castle. I love all the details. Nicely done!

I've seen before and it still amazes me... The fact that it's sort of suspended, in the top of the rocks and the wood parts that support the structure are extremely well made. A true piece of art.

Excellent. Masterpiece of a lifetime! Thank you for sharing!

Beautiful, I like it is built in height, nice fountain, quite odd to see a fountain in a castleyard so high but very nice, Great job. btw, you look like a Belgian stand-up comedian :p

A very grand castle, not only in size but in all the details. Amazing, definately one of the best castles I have seen so far. :)

That is one of the best castles I've seen! The build looks really solid, and the details make this MOC even greater! I really like the idea to make shallow water underneath the castle!

Wow! This is amazing. Totaly fantastic details. Great job.

To fully realize with Legos what your imagination conceived is a testament to your talent, vision, and patience. As a child, this masterful and whimsical creation would have been the perpetual object of all desires. I'd love to be able to build this for my son.

Wow! I'm just about speachless! It is simply amazing in every detail. I do love the fountain and courtyard the best. Very outstanding!

It looks fantastic! I like the style how you made the rocks :)

It's not too many, and no, I won't count them. I know some approximate numbers already. Only in the water there are around 2000 1x2 trans-clear plates and 1000 trans-blue tiles. More than 1000 black cheese slopes are built in the roofs. And that's only a small part of the whole construction. I also thought that I won't need so many pieces but I was wrong. It took lots of BL orders to finish it.

Excellent job! I love the beach, and the dock looks great. This is really great.

Brilliant work!

...you know my comment already!.... :)

First of all, no LEGO pieces were harmed or bent. Those are just regular 1 x 2 bricks. Try to put them together, and you will see that each one has a slight tolerance between, so when you combine them together you can easily bent them into arch. The only problem is to connect them to the rocks. There is lots of technic used through entire rock to keep the arch in place from not going back to the straight line. And in the middle of it they're connected with technic pins to get the studs (and then 2x2 tiles) on both sides. Here is another example of this technique used. http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/94439 This one is the whole circle so it was easier to hold it together. I hope I explained it well. And thank you all for the great comment! :)

Magnificently. I see that you managed to solve the problem with setting up the main bridge. I particularly like scaffold.

I would put it beside my bed and use it as a night light, haha, just imagined you flinging your hand right into it and smashing it into an infinite pile of bricks. ;)

Hey, we know you're gonna get MOC of the day, its just a matter of WHEN? lol, I'm puzzled as to how you made that arch?? I can't think of any peices that allow such a large, smooth and flowing angle?? You did'nt bend those peices with your mighty hands did you?

yeiiiii, it's finally done! I saw this thing when it was about 60% done. Great work! It is the most unusual castle on MOC pages :D

Matija... This is just wonderful... :))

wow.. gorgeous. I want to make something like this :D

Even dolphins?! You've outdone Yourself with details this time. And it's also an amazing build.

Superb. I have no idea how you made that huge arch but it looks great.

There is no word that man has created to describe the insane amount of win in this MOC you've blessed our eyes to see...

OMG! This is one legendary MOC!

Wonderfull! Great detail and story

Whoa.

That is incredible! Beyond 5/5!!!

that is some serious bricking my friend! I love the vertical rise of the castle and how it bridges the columns, well done. ~dave

This thing is huge, and completely amazing. Be proud sir, it's a great model.

Easily my new favorite creation of all time. And that's saying a lot.

Wow. Worth coming back to again and again. This is a MOC most of us would love to build but don't have the skill to pull off. This is beautiful my friend.

Definately a must-see for anyone on the 'Pages, this really is a shining example of Castle at it's best!

One of the finest castle MOC's I've EVER seen, Matija. And I don't use that phrasing lightly given the countless works I've seen. This is absolutely Lego at it's best, there's just nothing more I can say!

This is spectacular! I like the combination of rock structure with architectural details at the base so there is a mixture and not just rock at the base. I also like all the little things added to the water and landscape to fill out the mood of the piece. So nice. Awesome photos too! What will you do next?!

You DO know that the words "reverend", "Vigrin" and Phipson should never EVER be used in the same sentence right? That would be akin to breaking the seventh seal! Now then, this build... no words my friend. No words. So, you gonna' wrap this one up in sandwich wrap next June or what? Here's to hoping that I get to see this one in person! A truly fantastic build with a hilarious backstory! ~ Chris.

Man, that sure is beautiful. Excellent water effects and castle walls, you avoided the "Big Gray Wall Syndrome" quite expertly. This creation is a joy to behold. Thanks for sharing!

Simply perfect.

I just fainted...then woke up, was a little dazed, looked at the screen again and then fainted yet again - when this happens you know your creation is amazing! Excellent work!

AWESOME. JUST AWESOME

Beautiful! You used all the right techniques in all the right places and it payed off fabulously. Well done!

Fantastic! A few of those ideas you used have been siting around in my mind, since I can't build them myself. I love it all! The lights are great! I really like the watery area underneath. So many great little things in this. Your sig-fig really looks like you too. Great job! ~Blake~

I tried to come up with something to say, but I'm at a loss of words to describe this castle other than to give exclamations like OMG, wow, and Holy Jebus.

No, he shouldn't. I really like his work. I even got inspiration for the water from his work.

Incredible! Stunning detail, outstanding build! 3 months…your patience surpasses mine by about 2 month and 3 weeks. I really like the support beams on the bottom of turret overhanging the cliff. (Photo # 23 down from the main.) Working lights were another great touch. All the details, simply amazing. So in other words, I like it.

WOW!!! WOW!!! WOW!!! As I look at each picture that's all my mind keeps saying. This model is truly awesome!!! I love everything!!! Thanks so much for all of the pictures showing the true details.

I almost like this one more than your older one. I think this one is just BURSTING with detail and interests. My particular favorite is the Dolphin but the arches and architecture are close rivals.

Beautiful!

dude you blew my head.WOW

Very elegant and powerful statement of the King's power, and your building skills.

Great stuff from any angle!

Nice. Very nice. Very very nice.

Who? No! All the characters are purely fictional.

This is a fantastic build! Nice job!

Some of my favorite parts: the wet sand technique (awesome), the wood-struts that support the rounded portico, and there's this one part (on what I'm going to call the backside) where you had a three-sided extension and some tough roof-work, but you pulled it off brilliantly. The texture throughout is really outstanding. I truly enjoyed viewing this creation and appreciating all the work you've put into it over the last three months.

is Captain Nannananan a reference to Nannan Z? Just wondering.

I have no words to say - fantastic

I love it. The way you indented parts of the walls only half a stud, the blocks along the top of the walls, the rounded supports that just flow right into the columns, everything, is perfect. I can see why it took 3 months. But, seriously?? ONLY THREE MONTHS!? It would take me 3 YEARS to do that. Amazing work of art. I have to agree with someone else that commented, it looks like you just took pictures of a real castle and posted them.

Reminds me of LOTR and harry potter, absoloutley astounding build, so much detail.

I was so engrossed in admiring the build I skipped the text earlier. Now that I read it ... hilarious! There were a shady cast of characters there, especially Reverend Phipson... Good Lord, it is the end of the world! ... King Dave's famous words: "Let it be known that I, in my divine grace, do not recognize kebabs with mild sauce to be of any worth..." AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

oh wow. I'm pretty sure my mind just exploded.

Well done mate! This is a vertigo sufferers worst nightmare! An awesomely designed castle perched precariously above the water. Time to pour through all the details.

E-mazing. I love every single part of it. The architecture, the water, everything. It almost looks like you just took pictures of a real castle and then posted it. Really awesome work

Speechless...

*jaw drops* I'm at a loss of words... Incredibly insane build!!! Where does one get inspiration to create such awesomeness?

This is the best castle I ever saw. You kicked some castle builder's axe this time. I bet Eggy will be biting off his own testaments after seeing this.

Thats some pretty insane stuff you have there. I cannot believe that you got it all to fit/balance on those tiny rocks. Truly a masterpiece. Great work and thanks for sharing. -Dylan
