Tonquedec MOC by Erik Amzallag on Brickshelf

Post by Bruce N H »

I don't think he posts here, but if so I apologize for stealing your thunder. Anyway, This large castle showed up on Brickshelf:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=62023
The rounded towers and odd shapes are especially cool, IMO.
I believe it is a recreation of this castle:

That's just beautiful. And all on such a grand scale too!

The curtain walls look better than I would imagine solid black walls could look, and I love the large round towers. Great for inspiration for my own project.

Awesome MOC! I like the rounded tower technique, and how enormous it is. Whoever did this must have a lot of castle wall pieces. Excellent job to whoever did it!

An impressive size to be sure. However I don't like how many large wall pieces he used, it takes away from the Moc. Otherwise most excellent.

Very good. The color scheme is cool along with some nice battlement touches!

I like it, it looks good, and if it is supposed to be that real-life castle the creator has done well at recreating. However, I just can't get past the generally flat landscaping, and the overabundance of prefab parts.

I know that many people do not ahve hte access to the amound of smaller bricks, but with this building skill, I'd expect some better looking walls and rockscaping.

Brutally honest, I know, but even though it is impressinve, and well-built I can't get myself past that.

I was of the same opinion. It looks amazingly impressive on the small pics but when you open them, I only have eyes for those burps.

Nevertheless, I wouldn't shy away from giving this an outstanding approval. Not many mocs could outshine this. Mine certainly couldn't.
