*sniff* it`s so beautiful :`)

Astounding. I am absolutely blown away by this magnificent castle.

Yellowed white bricks being used, and they actually work? Nice.

This is the coolest thing I've ever seen. Well done sir.

This is really well done! I really like the variety of the colors to simulate real bricks, and I just LOVE the bridge design! A single criticism though: I think it's a bit too simple with the pieces used, it's almost as if you had a huge surplus of ramp bricks and had no better place to put them! This isn't supposed to be mean or anything, I just want to help you improve it through this. Anyways, GREAT castle!

Impressive creation! The color work and sloped walls especially look great. Congrats on MOTD!

AMAZING!!!!! Truly an inspired MOC!!!

Awesomeness!

Kudos on MOC of the day! Great Job!

WOW. An incredible combination of solidity and complex angles. Do you think you'll add more minifigures to it someday?

Whoa! Incredible work. Congrats on MOTD. :)

Absolutely stunning! What an intimidating fortress beautifully executed. Kudos.

Fantastic work on this! The whole castle is simply gorgeous and I particularly like the little 1x3 step textures supporting the outsets on the walls. Very well done. I couldn't help but think that this would make a good stop-animation set too.

Speechless!

Woah! This is amazing! And I've actually been there before! Incredible accuracy. I remember almost all of the stuff you show in the pictures. And I remember the story too! Awesome!

Wow! That's great!

Excellent.

OMG!!!!! so cool i would like to make it into a build for a popular avi comunity if you still have the pictures you posted about earlier can you send them to me look like it will be a challange to build

:O Fantastic... it could be even more realistic with the castle population: Knights Hospitallers, Templars, archers and mercenary infantries, civillians like blacksmits and other people.

Since you've proven your skill at building castles, you've just gotta build "Castle Ravenloft" from the Dungeons & Dragons role playing game. Search online... they used to sell a D&D module with complete blueprints of the vampire's castle Ravenloft... you know gargoyles, high towers, etc. Use light grey and dark grey bricks. Go for it!

Thank you very much for your kind words!

love everything about this, the size the detail, everything :D congratz

oulà là, on a là un véritable architecte !...je prendrais bien ce chateau pour résidence secondaire !... travail impressionnant.

More than twenty years of collection!

wher do youe get all the white bricks

Une deuxième couche gratuite pour tes chateaux! J'adore!

I'm always fascinated by middle-age, its life and its castles! Your one are really great buidings. This seems really close to the reality! Would mind to check my big Submarine too? :-) http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/252434

I really like this. It is extremely playable, which no matter how old the builder, is always a fun feature. Also, it looks very defensible. It is also very realistic, because yesterday I was watching a show on TV that said that castles were whitewashed, not the grey rock we all see now. This build is fantastic. Well done.

If you get a free minute, I would LOVE any pictures or plans that you have for this - I haven't Lego built for 20 years, but this project makes me want to get back into it! You can reach me at looeee@virosa.net. Any help or info you can send me is greatly appreciated. Again, amazing job!

This is really amazing work! I traveled to see this with my 2 younger brothers in 2006. Great job! I would love to build this with my kids (once I get a LOT more bricks).

again amazing build, but did you put in the acueduct the garrisons only means of water that fed the storage at the base of the huge talus i think it was under the grandmasters tower. You probably did and i missed it in the picss. Please dont take this as a bad critism as this is amazingly done, you are truly a cut above. well done 5/5

actually, its fine, instead could you send me some pics of the belvoir castle for the same reason? you can reach me at "tyler.sorrells3@yahoo.com" Thanks in advance

Hello Tyler, it will be very difficult since the castle is already dismantled. BUT I can send you tons of pics by e-mail, just give me your e-mail adress. Thanks for your comments!

Hey this is a wonderful castle!! could you try to take some more pictures of the outer wall and post them? I'm making a similar model of this in a game and more pics of different parts of the wall would be appreciated! Thanks

great job you should do a battle with this amazing castle.

:-O !!!! The castel of my dreams !!! Fantastic work !! I saw the real one and prefer your's !!!

...

Wow! Gorgeous castle! Nifty techniques in several areas!

Another mind-boggling creation! As I was looking over your Belvoir page, Bob Carney's work kept coming to mind. You explained why above, of course. Get the two of you together in a room and I think my head just might explode. Outstanding work!

Thanks Dave. I've seen your work, you're a great builder! Keep bricking!

Thank you for your comment, I hope my model does it justice!

Fantastic piece of work. I actually live about 30 minutes away from the Krak De Chevaliers. Your model is exteremly accurate.

The sloping walls and use of mixed white brick are particularly well executed. I really enjoy what you've done.

Hello Stefan, thanks for your comments. I used white bricks, I mixed new ones and old "yellowed" ones, it gives walls a very nice texture.

this is really cool! are this white or tan bricks you used? always funny to see guys of similar age enjoing to "waste" their time with bilding ;-) have fun and show us some more!

Wow! Wonderful details and a fantastic build. Architecturally it is fantastic, and the sheer size is incredible. Very, very nice job.

Hello Antonio, thank you very much! I don't have a lot of minifig (I need to buy some hundreds) but I have put some inside, you can see them on my other model here in MOCpages.

Excellent work! Are you going to fill it with life (minifigs)?

HOLY CRAP HOLY COW HOLY COW WHERE THE HECK DID YOU GET THE PEICES!????? NICE JOB!!!!!

I have made some funny pics, come back in few hours and you'll see! Thanks for your comment.

This is really great, and VERY BIG. Can't wait to see it come to life with your custom figs.

Amazing!

I got plans of the Krak, but they have been modified a little bit during construction. I'll draw new plans soon, if you are interested, I'll be pleased to send to you.

by the way you know I'm gonna need instructions for this monstrosity if for no other reason then my Crusaders need a home 8^)

Anybody is welcome to use my designs, just don't go selling them and some kind of note saying tunics design by Asterios would be nice too but not required.

I agree, minifig will make it better, I promise to install a nice garrison of Hospitaler Knights. The only interior is the vaulted ramp which opens revealing the ramp leading to the inner fortress gate. It had been very very complicated to build such a big fortress in a complete "playable" way, althought at the beginning I wished so...

Nice job for the tunics, can I use them? I have posted my comments on BF too, thanks again for your comments.

Great littl- Big scene there. I love the entire layout of the castle which in itself is a true architectural challenge but one thing that would make this great is minfigs and details inside the castle. However this is still a great build!

as it goes i see your using yellowed white bricks which is what I was planning on using myself for my castles since their coloring is spot on. also posted this over on BF so if you want to comment about it, i'm sure many of them there would like to know more about this awesome castle: http://www.brickforge.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&p=80777#p80777

no decals used made the tunics myself which cn be seen here: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=421179

Wow! They are amazing! How can I find those decals? Fantastic job!

My Hospitallers are now ready to take possesion of said castle: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/asterios/Crusaders/Hospitallers/dsc01534.jpg and if they cannot do it, the Templars surely will: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/asterios/Crusaders/Templars/dsc01535.jpg and plenty more to join in too: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/asterios/Crusaders/dsc01287.jpg

Merci beaucoup, j'ai réalisé un rêve que j'avais depuis longtemps. Je ne sais pas combien de briques il y a, je les conterai au moment de le démolir (hélas!). J'ai utilisé des briques blanches neuves et vieilles mélangés, le Krak est de cette couleur, la couleur sand aurait été trop foncée. Oui, je vais le peupler de minifig, le temps de trouver des décals sympas pour fabriquer mes Hospitaliers!

Je reste sans voix..... (mais je peux encore écrire !) C'est vraiment très impressionnant ! Il doit y avoir un nombre considérable de briques et les techniques de construction ont l'air très évoluées. La couleur des murs est aussi très belle, ça change des châteaux tous gris que l'on voit sur MOCpages. J'espère qu'on pourra bientôt voir de belles photos avec plein de minifigs dedans. Bravo !

Thanks so much, your work is amazing too!

Yes, I have several Hospitaler, Templar, and Kingdom of Jerusalem knights, even an evil bishop, maybe I'll publish some other pics with them. Thanks for your comment.

Amazing job! Are you going to populate it with mini figures?

What? No moat? HAHAHA This good sir, is TRULY AMAZING! Words will fail to express how cool this is. Congratulations! ~ Chris.
