The Black Falcon Castle
Hi
This is my first attempt at building my own castle. This is a simple castle which does not resemble any real castles. It has a small gatehouse, a keep, a horse stable and an inn. Due to shortage of bricks, I had to use castle wall pieces.
Here are the deeplinks:

I do feel there is still room for improvements so comments/suggestions are welcome.
Thanks.

Yay! First post!
Ok so here it goes...
I realy like your castle! I don't mind castle wall peices, and sometimes they can work better than normal bricks. I don't like castles that look like real castles all to much, they just arn't creative enouh. I love the small keep you have, it is real neat! also, the stable is very cool, but, Mabie I overlooked it, Is there a way for the horses to get in/out?
I don't usually rate MOC's but You'll be my first! 9.135 out of 10! Great use of peices, and very creative! I can't wait untill your next MOC comes out!

Thanks, Brian. I have not created a gate yet for the horse stable. This is being added to my list of improvements. Thanks for the rating too!
Thanks, Doc. Yes, you are correct. This castle was based on the Black Falcon Fortress. I felt that the Black Falcon Fortress is quite small compared to other faction's castle like 6080, 6090, etc. So I decided to build a bigger castle for my troops. They are a lot happier now!That's very neat. Am I correct in assuming that at the front we see what is basically an expanded Black Falcon's Fortress?

To give your soldiers a better chance of survival, please raise your battlements by one or two bricks. The poor guys look like sitting ducks at a fairground shooting attaction. This would also improove the way the top of your towers look, they seem to be a bit 'flat' (constuctively narrow) now.

Thanks, Sir Terrance. I guess its a matter of individual preference. Some people prefer to use bricks over wall pieces.Very nice. Looks like a BFF and Gaurded Inn put together and upsized. I love it. I really like the use of the corner wall pieces. I like the wall pieces and wish I had more, You get a wall and an instant window, what more could you want?

Really cool! The keep is very nice.

You're complaining about brick shortages? If I took apart everything all my MOC's I'm betting I still couldn't build something like this! But, I too, prefer the wall pieces. It makes it easier to build bigger things.Due to shortage of bricks, I had to use castle wall pieces.
