CCC XIII Bodiam Castle
An entry for the Large Misc. category in CCC XIII.
This is my first Castle model entirely based off of a real castle: Bodiam Castle in England. I built only the front wall, and it isn't scaled perfectly, but I think it's close enough to be quite recognizeable. Also I changed the bridge layout, because of space limitations.
See a picture of the real Bodiam castle here: [url]https://www.raspberrypi.org/wp-content/uploa ... 0x1200.jpg[/url]
There's no interior this time, though the portcullis and main doors are functional.

Thanks for looking, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it

Really love it. The wall texture looks great in the pictures.

I'm pretty sure there were other soon-to-be entries posted before mine yesterday on Flickr, I may have been the first to post about their entry on CC though!Bruce N H wrote:Congratulations on being the first entry in the CCC!

Re: CCC XIII Bodiam Castle
You came really close to the original! Also, the tile technique fits perfect in this one...
Re: CCC XIII Bodiam Castle
Looks great! That's an awful lot of 2x2 flats to source, but great part use.

Re: CCC XIII Bodiam Castle
You pulled off the 'realistic' look very well, that tile collection certainly helped here !

Re: CCC XIII Bodiam Castle
Gorgeous castle SK, as mentioned above, the texture looks spot-on and this has a lot going for it architecturally.
Re: CCC XIII Bodiam Castle
Beautiful entry! Your tile technique really shines here and your photography (especially the angles) is superb. Excellent work!
