Thought I needed to do up a Halloween MOC, so here is Castle Frankenstein:

Its loosely based on the real Castle Frankenstein, seen here:

Lol. Awesome. If I thought I had to do a Halloween MoC it would be like 10 pieces because of my 1337 building skillz. How long did it take to make this?

Awesome... is one of the villagers wielding a cat?

Yes he is. And he is not the only strange villager in the bunch...

Excellent castle design - was the gatehouse meant to resemble a face? I also like how the graveyard is slightly removed from the main action and is very still looking; this gives it a suitably eerie feel.

My only criticism would be that the attacking mob are a bit too brightly coloured; it clashes with the dark and moody colour scheme around them.

Sweet. I love a good mob scene. Make one's life feel less messed up. A relatively simple design from a distance, the close up reveals so great detail. I love the face in the wall with the door a the mouth. The graveyard and gnarly trees add some really cool depth to the scene.

I got a kick out of looking through all the different villagers in the mob. Great MOC, and a great scene. I also enjoyed your take on Dr Frankenstein being a nervous wreck, added a bit of humor to the scene and a bit of a twist from the typical diabolical mad scientist. Thanks for sharing!

Awesome! The right hand tower is excellent, and I like the body on the cart!

It wasn't at first, but as I worked on it, I noticed it did. So I decided to go with it. I almost put little bolts on it, to make it look more like Frankenstein, but decided that was too much...

Yea I like how it's just a hint of a face. I reminds me of that traditional scene in a horror movie where a bolt of lightening illuminating the sky reveals a hint of a face as a full blown scary face. My only problem is the color contrast in the villagers, otherwise, Bravo!
