This is the first realistic castle that I have built.

About this creation

After sorting all of my LEGO pieces by part over winter break, I spent the last part of break building this. This was relatively challenging for me because I had never built something like it before. The whole thing is built on a 48x48 stud baseplate and the castle is built on a 36x36 baseplate connected to the top of the rocks. It was trick to securely attach the baseplate to the top of the rocks, but I achieved it. All in all, I really like the way this turned out. Enjoy!

the only flaw in my opinion is the stones and green pieces at the riverbank. that looks kind of wierd, and dosn`t fit into the rest of the moc. Googbye :D

Fantastic work! Your work with the baseplates is top-knotch, I didn't even notice! Excellent details throughout, awesome landscaping (your rockwork is excellent!) and I love the unfolding ladder! Stellar!

Nice work! I like the overall feel for the castle and the playability that you incorporated. I think to get rid of the look of the green plate resting on the rocks, I would bring the rocks out a little bit for a wider base and then build a little layer around the green plate so it's not so obvious. Also I would either fill in the brown around the stream with more 1x1 rounds for rocks or eliminate it all together to keep a more aesthetic feel. Anyway I hope this kind of helps and keep building! - J.
