Hmm those are some interesting designs you got there. Definitely gives everything a lot of volume and the 3D effect really comes thru very well!

Great job! :thumbup:

Thanks! Still a huge "in progress" attempt but as I acquire pieces and clear out the temp house farm and clutter I think these castles will start to really shine.

I think the Bart and Lisa walls look really good. Something looks a little off about the main castle, but I'm sure you'll be able to smooth that out once you've got all the parts you need.

I like where you're going with this. Have you tried the tops of the standard brick walls to match the boxingham colours? backs of stonecutter fences might blend as well.

With the main castle have you tried stacking the castle walls on top of the stone walls? You're going in the right direction, the effect is more castle like and less medieval dinner theater...

Thanks everyone! Here's what I have for the main castle so far:

^that is really nice Thrashman! Great job!

That looks great. Only thing I'd suggest is half turn about 40% of those bushes so they don't look so carbon copy.

Hm soon no one is gonna know what that means...

I tried this but it just didn't jive for me, I tend to lean towards the manicured look, so the the randoms get to me.

So these will most likely end up as my final designs for these, there may be slight modifications to landscape and fillers, but these will be the overall feel:
