Wow! This is great, I'll start off with what caught my eye first, the roof. It looks great! I also love the bridge you have there. The water just looks great, in the main picture. The cattails are a nice touch, I liked that very much. Besides that the pine trees and the tree with the bird's nest is very good. I also like the pathway that leads to the castle. what I liked most of all, was the fisherman. Of course, it was funny with the two alligators chasing a fisherman, but I also liked that you added that detail. This has inspired me, like all of your castles do. Again, great job!

Hey you know how you said to get arches on my wall is this how you did it with your arches. you put two layers? layer two with arches?

Alrighty then, JD. Back for a second look here. Again, beautiful work on the castle itself. A little weak on the storyline, though, compared to your others. I think your first entry was a good combo of build, story, and presentation. This definitely is your finest entry as far as the build itself, however. Nicely done there.

That's a really beautiful castle and those trees look really good! Awsome work!!

Really really awesome! Makes me want to build castle :)

To Sterling: He used white sheets.

Hey, this made it to Brother's Brick! Congratulations!

Just wondering. What meathod do you use for getting that beutiful white backround? ~S.K.

This is a genius work I would give you 10/5 if I could.

Awesome!

This gave me a break from all that *shudder* 'serious' stuff that's out there... great job! I may have to steal that bird's nest idea.

I coulda just made an EPIC LUSE joke, but the wordplay didn't work out. Curse the inability to use your last name in past tense!

Great landscaping! Congrats on being blogged as well! Great job.

Castles seems to be your way ! Awesome !!!

That tree is absolutely awesome, how'd you put the branches so close together? The bird's nest idea is also awesome. ~LL

Well, getting blogged by BB is sure going to help you case with what we were talking about earlier. Congrats JD! ~ Chris

Nice work, JD! You've demonstrated that good landscaping can be fairly level ("flat" would be a poor word choice -- eh, you get the idea). Great details all round. Blogged!

I've been noticing that your building has improved, great stuff :)

Blah blah, great build so on and so forth. It's awesome, you know that. The REAL standout part for me was that it wasn't ME that died in a Darwin entry! Will wonders never cease? ~ Chris.

This is really awesome, I love the way it looks with the two towers, one in the pond connected with a bridge, The is superb, and the time machine appearing on the roof and Kelso stepping out and falling onto the guards spear is genious! Great work! I've expanded Blocktropolis, its right here if you want to check it out: http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/111975. -T

Oh, the alligator heads? That's just the top jaw piece to two of my alligators. (Sorry about my first comment moving up - I edited it)

Didn't you get one in the castle village? Ah well, here's a link: http://www.bricklink.com/search.asp?q=frog You can get them in trans-green, just plain green, or bley. Pretty cool. BINGO. =)

I mean these ones: http://www.mocpages.com/image_zoom.php?mocid=111674&id=/user_images/9976/12397450611

JD: Instead of "The wheel in the dungeon goes round and round", how about "Ooooh, the wheel in the dungeon keeps on turnin'! There's some classic 70's rock.

Those are some nice little trees. I think I may have to use that idea in the deal I'm working on. By the way, what pieces are those frogs?

GooGoo: He got it from DARKspawn.

Great! Some nice building techneques in there. One part bothers me though, the walkway. Maybe it should be dirt or something? I don't have much experience with castle but that walk seems out of place. (Love that tower)

Wow! I love little decals like villagers and other!

wow... very nice... oh.. and did u get the idea of foreign names from me lol!? oh and i have a couple new mechs

Out of fairness to the other participants of the DA contest, I'll have to reserve judgement on it's contestish-ly-ness, but I had to comment on the build itself. GREAT work on the composition (i.e. forms, visual balance, color balance, etc.). Some nice parts usage, too. Your castle work continues to improve and impress.

Hey, I think I might have said this before, but I wouldn't get so worried about the lighting. Although I'm not a very experienced photographer, I think the picture quality is just fine. The MOC is excellent, too! Great work.

It's MOCs like these that make me regret my period of inactivity here on MOCpages. I've almost forgotten how creative some people can truly be! I love the castle itself, of course, and your genius bird nest idea, but your hilarious description really "tops the icing on the cake," so to speak.

Hey JD I just posted my version of your Seige of Arsing! Check it out when you get the chance http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/111746 .-George

Pros: The fortress, cobblestone path, bird's nest, and the time machine. Cons: The riverbank should have a little bit of mud on the edges and I don't know what car you're talking about. :P Very nice overall.

I like the pathway to the front door and the big tree, and nice piece use for the bird's nest -- pretty ingenious there. The underside of the bridge part seems weird to me, though, those arches don't go anywhere. I think most of the pics turned out pretty well, at least I don't see any hail damage. At my place we had some heavy hailstorms yesterday. That would have been fun trying to take Lego pics in.

Indeed, 'tis a lovely MOC. Great details to bring out life during the time period. And a find death for Kelso -- traveling back in time only to plummet to his doom. That's entertainment.

Nice one, great scenery, great details, and great commentary, great story, or in other words, it is all great. Reminds me of Lord of the rings where someone gets thrown off the side of the castle into an army of spears down a below. Gonna be hard to top this one, *laughs within self* -Dylan

Nice tower. Sad for Kelso. He had a nice shirt though. see ya. garth

Man this is a really good creation I have to give you a 5/5 its just amazing. ( I really need to get some of those bley round pieces. )

WOW!! No I mean it; WOW! it's a very special "WOW" this time... man I love this, one of the best from you(if not the best!), fine piece of art and great presentation and commentary, as always... keep going my man >>> peace =)

I half expected to die again, but what the hey. Kelso is much more entertaining. I'm almost done with my next entry.

It is a very beautiful creation - well done. Lee.

that has a very clean look to it, I like the loose crocodile heads, nice idea!

Nice build, the whole thing really folds into place I love the trees, your bird's nest, and so many more of the great details you added, nice MOC!

That is so not fair! My entry is going to involve a castle theme and time warping/traveling. I finally got my Bricklink order. It's time to build!

This is great! I love the river, and bridge-like thing that goes over the water. You're quite good at castle MOCs!

Nice one LUSEr! Are you working to become the next Eggplant or something?

Wow this is so detailed! The crocs are a good idea and so is the birds nest. Also can you check out my Crystal Cave when you get the chance http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/111579 .-George
