[MOC] Black Falcon Castle

[OccamsRazor]

This has been done by other folks before, but here's my take on a mega Black Falcon castle. Aside from the extra Black Falcon minifigs and skeletons, everything in here was made only using the parts in 3 of the 3-in-1 Medieval Castle set.

I tried to build in the same visual style as the original castle. I took elements of the A model (the entrance and the hut) and made them taller, and also incorporated parts of the B model as the watchtower in the background on the left. I also built my own Great Hall with a bigger tower for the king's residence, which is on the right.

You can see more pictures of other angles and the interior on my instagram here (the last 2-3 posts): https://www.instagram.com/bricksgowhere/

Love this! Gave you a follow on Instagram. 
 

The castle looks fantastic but the skeleton horde is terrifying, lol.

Thanks!

 

There's actually a few more Black Falcons in there than skeletons - it's just that the Black Falcons are scattered all around the build, and some aren't as visible because of the camera angle (i'll post more pics soon). I'd like to think the Falcons have a really good chance at fighting off the skeleton horde!

Very cool  . Rather than attack the castle, couldn’t the skeletons just lay siege to it? They’re infinitely patient, and require no food, drink, fuel (to keep warm) or sleep. Perfect besiegers!

I only have one 3-in-1 Creator Castle, but am also using it as the home of my Black Falcons. I found the yellow infill in the walls to be too garish, so replaced those pieces with tan ones, and swapped the red quadrants on the banners with more appropriate blue ones. 

Here’s a CMF Series 24 falconer converted to an archer and set on the barbican tower.

A pretty Castle. Certainly forsakable, but endearingly sardonic. And intriguing to see skeletons clambering, I must remind myself of that in the future.

Great picture! Love the army of skeletons!

Thanks!

Added many more pictures on my instagram ( https://www.instagram.com/bricksgowhere/ ), but here's a small selection of them.

And a shot of the interior - not the best, but I was working with the leftover pieces I had. There's a throne room with a banquet table, and above that, the king's office and bedroom:
