I got the usual amount of antsy after finishing up the Seuss library a few weeks back so I started a big castle build a ways north of the Library.
I started with two towers and a bridge:
...and an artfully placed sunset, lol
It's not really based on any existing castle/building yet, though I think the main building in the center is going to be modeled after something when I get to it. Finally finished the exterior walls and towers this weekend.
I'm still working on whats inside/under those walls and towers, so haven't started dealing with the middle at all yet.
may put another tower and bridge in on this side of the river, haven't decided yet.
Here's the original bridge again, now with stuff around it!
I'll admit a fair amount of inspiration for this design was the Wicked Witch's castle in The Wizard of Oz. The gates are definitely more art deco than any stripe of medieval.
The North Gate is closed! If they ever bring trigger plates into MCPE, I'd love for those portcullises to be able to open and close. There are two on each gate, one inside, and one outside.
Still have a lot of work to do - finishing up the interior of the outer walls/Towers, building the subway station under the castle, building the maze waaaaaaaaay the hell under the castle (like, bedrock level) and of course building the main castle and landscaping the inside, not to mention mapping out the cave systems underneath the surface, of which there are quite a bit, including this huge abandoned mineshaft I accidentally caught a glimpse of when I got my head somehow stuck in a wall:
So that'll need some exploring. So yeah, I'm going to be on this build a while, I think.
