Site Updated: Castle Stage 3 Added

Post by James »

Title says it all. I've updated my site with pictures of the next section of my castle project

sorry a few of the photos are subpar, I'll use a tripod next time.

Hi james,

Wow! That's just mighty impressive. I love the way you are showing it in stages so we can see the building process as well as the structure itself!! I only wish I can see this thing in person. :wink:

:o :shock: :o :shock:
This is amazing, I trust you all realize. I can't even try to think of anything constructive to say, just that I loved it! I'm especially wowwed by the tournament! And I love the BURPs holding up the fortress walls. It looks like something I would try, only WAY bigger, and probably better! :D

Great! I especially like how you did the stone around the windows shown in this picture. I can only think of two constructive criticisms and those don't even have to do with actual building. One, use a tripod ( :D ). Two, your photo editing could use a little help.

James,
You continue to school us all, man!
Overall, looks very clean and solid. Love the details, especially the stairs in the mountian. (I'll have to steal that... :twisted: )

Where is the dark grey decorated 1x6 wall in the center of this pic from?

Can't wait to see more!

Rascal King, if the pieces your talking about is the one I think you are, then it is a Harry Potter Slytherin wall piece.
I build, therefore I am.

Awesome!

I'm also working on a large castle project and it is very cool to see how someone else is approaching it all.

Looking great James,

Of course you are right there so you know it better than we do. :wink: The oddly blurred photos make for interesting viewing. As other have said, the windows look great, the joust is awsome and the assorted building styles really give it that built over time look. Keep it up and I am looking forward to pics of stage 4.

William
After a long absence, I have returned. I can't wait to start building again.
