I have used nearly half of all my gray bricks in this section and will have to use all my bricks of all colors to get the desired results.

It's neat that you took the time in the middle of a project to do something like this. The workers feel quite real. Can't wait to see the final product. Do you have any pictures that show the castle, as it stands, from a distance, so as to see it all in one shot?

Heheheheheheh!
I love it when people do this, take the minifigs and let them build':D:' It gives it a special feel.

hey, it looks very good. I want to see more!

Don't work those minifigs too hard!! (That's a really cool touch.)

So far it looks great, post some more pics when you have them.

Haha very clever. There's one minifig holding a 2x3 brick - he must be strong!

Hehe. I love this pic:

It reminds me of Adrian Drake's great summary of building the Imperial Star Destroyer:

Somewhere (grr, can't find it quickly) there's a great page that has minifigs installing a hard drive.

Here are some update pics. I haven't really done much more except modify the right tower and add some slanted slopes on the left wall. I have nearly run out of all my gray. I have white and black though. And I have alot of both of those. Well more than the gray at-least

Well here are the pics.

My favorite scene is the mason scene.

Its always fun when you're working on a large project to just take breaks and have a little fun, which what looks like you're doing.

Good job

Here is a little sneak peek of waht's up so far. I didn't have time to take alot of pics and as you can see the workers are away on break. One of them went to get more help. It's hard to build a castle with only four guys. You try it some day

.

Well here it is. A sneak peek preview. Well you know what I mean

Updates to come soon. I have run out totaly of all my black bricks

. But no fear white, tan, and some red and blue are here to the rescue. As I said in an earlier post: "I will prbably end up using all pieces of all colors. Yes I have a very, Very, VERY small brick collection. Well LEGO collection for that matter.
