Stellar work. I'll take away a lesson here on decorating the castle walls.

Most Fun ! An extremely happening interior !>.....well done

That is epic

ornateness better than is better than size also congratulations on MOTD!!!!!

Excellent stuff! Congrats on MOTD!

Wow this is so amazing!!

Great job! The only thing I see that's wrong with it is that the grass is kinda bare. But other than that it's Awesome.

i really like the parapets and the hanging assembly!

Excellent work!

Too bad that you couldn't get it as large as planned, but it's still a very cool castle!

Poor guy; he'll get hanged! VERY cool, simple, neat, awesome, and compact. A lot to say of awesomeness! I like it!

This is great! The detail is immense, absolutely fantastic! Congrats on MOTD =)

cool

This is incredible! :D

Wow amazing!!!!!5/5

Epic! Brilliant details and nice scenes. I agree that hanging is a cool idea :-)

Love that hanging scene! A well deserved MOTD!

Okay, when I found this again, I didn't think it was you... Yeah, it's that good! No, I don't think you build badly, even though I just made it sound like I did... I just didn't think you had this much Lego! Okay, sorry for the ramblin's, enjoy your five heads...

Nice variety of structures inside. Does that rat lead to some holy hand grenade joke?

This is a spectacular model! The hanging booth is very funny in particular!

Great Castle! I especially like the gallows and the arches in the walls.

Its almost a big grey wall syndrome but you got away with it with the archs in the wall. It doesnt matter about the extra space you didn't have enough space to use it still looks great, especially the gallows 5 :-)

this is so awsome!!!

It is a very nice/clean build. The hangman is an especially nice touch. Lee.

Nice one JD, I missed this. I particulary like the hangman thing. I will say though, gold trim makes it all good. :-) Keep it up. ~LL

brilliant design, excellent job

Oh and seeing the guy getting hung makes me think of Will Turner coming to the rescue. Their never there when ya need em!

Great Castle, love the detail, nice walls. I totally know what you mean when u say "that bloody knuckle feeling" im glad to know its not just me xD

Very good design in a small diorama. I have always liked castle dioramas, but I am focused on SW mocs. Next step, a huge castle. I am sure you will build something excellent.

Hey, could you comment on my Executor when you get the time? Thanks. http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/185676

wow its very cool, no! wait.... its very very very very very very.... GOOD! 5/5

It doesn't seem real, but it is. Well done.

Awesome. Very awesome, the every details is cool.

Ooh! I saw studs on the ground! Second picture from title! (lookin' like a fool with yer studs on the ground, studs on the ground...)

i think it looks like a high security prison xD

Splendid work, Jesse! Some refreshing detail as well. The tapered battlements are the bomb, and the softening of the tower corners is sublime. We also like the use of the tiles for the accent stones, giving it some real dimension! We're gonna pick up Garth and drive out there to test that "gallows height" issue (ooops! sorry Garth, were you listening? We Love you man!). Later, Pal!

Thank you all for the input! It's definitely appreciated. Haha, good eye. =) Those jumper plates were put there for minifig positioning but were never used. Gives the smooth ground some texture I guess...

This is a beautiful piece of work,i love it all.-

i really like the outer wall, it's very well done. the inside looks good too. i would go outside to photograph my mocs, but right now there is several feet of snow on the ground and it's about -30 outside, not the best time for outdoor photography

This is probably my favorite of the castle creations you've built so far! You put some great detail into this!

Nice job!

The hangman's platform is excellent. I also like te way the castle wall is built. -Sam

Very Nice! I don't like how generic it is though. Maybe a little less square? Anyway great gallows and nice little town detail 5/5

Nice! Love the walls details and the smooth surface in the inside, something which i can never attain. DIE RAT DIE!!! GET AWAY!!!

Thanks guys! Usually I like to use jumper plates to give the minifig at least one stud of grip, but for this particular MOC I just set 'em there due to the lack of sunny skies and time. =) So this time it was just for the photos. Actually, I think you have a good point there. In my original plans there were plenty of windows, but for some reason they didn't get in...Ah well, there's always room for improvement.

Incredibly well done!

Get those tiles peeled dude! You're gonna need em in two days! HAHAHA Lookin great JD! I really love the hanging platform. Nice touch! Now let's get ready to layeth the smacketh down upon all who oppose us! MUHAHAHAHAHAHA ~ Chris.

Love this! The outside landscaping goes pefectly with the Castle. Great job!

Nice SNOT work, great courtyard.

The three towers are AWESOME and the courtyard is pretty darn sweet too.

Excellent castle! Great details in the courtyard and the castle design is wonderful. Your team will be hard to beat with those skills.

Another great build JD. I especially like the battlements on the three towers. It actually looks safe to work on the tower, unlike most castles I've seen. The interior village is great as well. I like the little hanging platform.

Dude, you're lucky you can even go outside. Pittsburgh has close to three feet of snow now. Anyways, great creation, but to me it looks more of like a fort and not a castle!

Amazing, the sheer amount of grey pieces kind of freaks me out. Nice work!

This is amazing. LOL nice gallows!

thats awesome great job.

AMAZING job! I love castles and your is cool :D

Nicely done, maybe you can't really call it a castle but who cares, it looks awesome, a clean build and cool scene behind the walls, great job !

Fantasitc job JD.

Very cool castle. I like how you build the tower. My only critics is that it's lacking a walkway on top of the walls. The details inside are also very nice. Good job.

That's an awesome castle. I love it!

As beautiful as the first yellow castle by Lego, I mean it's VERY elegant !

JD, this is REALLY cool. It's very clean and solid, but yet shows an impressive amount of detail. The landscape is a bit plain, but it works for the overall look. I like all of the side scenes you have going on that make this MOC a little more entertaining. Overall, you get an "A" on this one. -Dylan

You know now that I think about it this IS your first castle that you have posted! And its pretty nice JD I like the detail of course on the walls and the inside is just as great

This is amazing for your first castle. Great small details like, the hanging, the guard trying to stab the mouse, and the creativity with every villager. The smoothness of the flooring gives it a professional look too. Oh, and could you comment on my new Star Wars Hoth battle when you get the time? Thanks.

You never fail to impress me with your castle builds! I really should invest in more light bley. :-)

Wow JD this is a gorgeous castle! Errr...I mean, shouldn't you redo this sucker? You can start on it around Saturday and keep going until say.....mid March. :P Do you set up every minifig just for pic taking, or do you have a way to keep them in place when you move the build?

You managed to fit some neat details and techniques in this build. I love that archway to the far tower - looks like a great place for a shifty character to stand!

It may need some windows to break the monoto- wait, who do I think I am? This is wonderful, and way out of my league!

Nice layout. I think most real castles are pretty small. The king and his family, plus a few of his men etc. If we could see out about the place there'd be a bunch of houses and stables scattered about. I do question the height of the gallows though. That's not much of a drop. Anyway, plenty of nice details and a great look. see ya. garth

I feel your pain on the lack of workspace. Frustrating, isn't it? I've never seen landscaping quite like that, nice way to break up the bare baseplate look with relatively few parts. And the gallows -- very nice touch.

Dancin' the hangman's jig...Anyway, fantastic job, makes my small, in-progress monastary seem ant-like. Love the use of those curve pieces on the back tower.

I like the texturing on the outside and the gallows are great. The outside leaves a little to be desired, but speaking as a guy with maybe 10 plant pieces....

Disappointment? This is great!

Very nice! I like the gallows the best! Nothing like death in a first castle. XD

Beautiful work, as always. The turrets are lovely. Good luck in the Athalon.

nice interior detail.

A nice, clean creation. Great job!
