Nice use of the rock raider piece for the canopy!

Excellent! And, 5 months? Wow!

Woah, how long did that take to upload! Love the bricks coming out the side of the walls.

Excellent castle mate, love all the individual buildings and all the detail... Very well done!

really cool

truly a great castle....luv the detail, great work!

Amazing! Kudos to you mate, great build. I envy your amount of patience.... and bricks. :P

Like numero 501 ;) Where to even start?? Everything here is top-notch. The brickbending technique is just genius, and I think it's one of the greatest techniques ever invented (you did invent it, right? I will feel silly if not xD) Either way, stunning, man, stunning.

This comment makes 500 likes. Thats amazing! Congrats!

Hi Eggy: My name is Ben Marks and I'm the senior editor of Collectors Weekly. Here are links to some of our LEGO pages: http://www.collectorsweekly.com/toys/lego http://www.collectorsweekly.com/model-trains/lego Here are examples of articles we've published: http://www.collectorsweekly.com/articles/dawn-of-the-flick/ http://www.collectorsweekly.com/articles/when-the-wild-imagination-of-dr-seuss-fueled-big-oil/ We just interviewed an animator who worked on Sony's upcoming animated feature, Hotel Transylvania. He's also a serious LEGO guy, who is mostly into MOC castles. We are getting a few photos from him of castles he's made, but I thought it might be fun to show off some of your castles, too. Could we do that? Also, could we speak to you about how you approach castle making? Your stuff is awesome, so I'm sure our readers would enjoy seeing it and reading what you have to say. We would, of course, link to MOCpages in general and your pages in particular. If this is okay, please just email me. Best, Ben Marks

really great!

This is amazing! Truly a work of art!

Awesome castle!!!

Very artistic in design. A lot of time, thought, and patience. Impressive.

5 strars X 1000!

Great keep doing stuff like this its great!

Ooooh! shiny!

Superb work! A true piece of art:) Congrats on MOTD!

a well deserved MOTD !!! this is just epic...

I am seriously going to faint! This is amazing! How many baseplates did you use! It is huge! Congrats on getting MOTD! (Lucky...) Your curvature of the castle is the terrific! You did a spectacular job! Your rock work is superb too! (I can never seem to get those right, but I am trying! :D) This moc truly deserves every single like that it has gotten, and more to come! Keep up the STUPENDOUS work!

Great detail work! I love the overall structure, I can't wait to see more from you, a well deserving MotD =)

Wow, epic! That is a huge and very awesome castle, great work on the details and nice use of parts in various places. Really nice buildings and placement of them :-) I like those tall trees too!

so many awesome little details! My favourite parts are the birds and the water:)

bootiful! Love all the detailed touches that bring it to life!

What can one say... except... Congratulations! (But I didn't see any Estuars holding strong?) Hee, hee! :)

Wow! This is impressive! What a very good build, and the shear size is impressive. I really like the water, it blends nicely with the shore. There are so many details, this is really deserving of MOTD. Congrats!

Hmmm, I thought I commented on this way back, but after scrolling through the millions, it appears I haven't. Mistakes such as these can be mended! Here we go: Great build sir! I love all the countless details sprinkled (for lack of a better word) throughout the build! It's always cool to see a picture of the brains behind the build too. Very well done!

Very good!

wooooow this is CRAZY!!!! how much does that thing way???!!!

Sweet! I love all the miscellaneous details!

Incredible! This must be the second time it's gotten MOTD, great job!

This deserves far more than MOTD!Excellently done!

That's out of this world!!!!! XD

wow! fantastic.

Well deserved MOTD! -LB Jr.

Nice work!

Amazing detail!

Excellent design! Congratulations

me too

WOW! I'm speechless.

This scene is very good. I like the different shades of blue on the beach. I feel you could have maybe done a little more work on the castle itself, but good job! Also,the waterfall could use a little work, it looks too uniform and straight, and you should vary the color, maybe add a bit of blue in there.5 months, how do you even stay motivated for that long?

WOW! That is amazing.....

...Woah...

Wow! I can't imagine how long it took you to make the MOC.

this is amazing...i wish i had the time,pieces,and money to make something as big as this...:)

Amazing is the only word possible to describe this.

I can see why this is the most popular castle MOC in the Pages. And I'm your fan!

Like others, my favorite parts are the use of the Rock Raider windscreen for the railing, and the large curved part of the tower. I'm honestly not a huge fan of the waterfall...I don't like the opening, but that's just my opinion, and I feel like it's a bit out of place...needs more water around it! Likewise the ramp leading out of the stronghold's entry looks a bit...plain...not quite sure, there's just something about it I dont like. But otherwise I love it! lol don't think I just have negatives...but everyone else has just given compliments, so I figured I was free to voice a criticism ;-)

Sorry to break the pristinity of 400 likes!

Insanely Awesome! It seems that everyone here is way better at building than me.

400th like :D

I don't know what to say.

1,000,000,000,000,000% AMAZING! That is awesome!

O_O !!!

im not normally one to comment, but that is amazing!!

Wow i love it! It looks fantastic! although tiled floors in the castle walls would be nice, So what? IF you get a chance check out my stuff? Thanks

WOW! You didnt leave a single detail out!!! This blew my mind! Congrats on MOTD! *claps*

nice job eggy as usual looks like an estuary to me can i steal a couple(or 55555)teqniques? and where do you get those cyan blue pieces i am dying for a few1 nic job al in all my sigfig would likke to live there!!!

damsel in distress i will-wow no wonder you are in distress with a face like that i'm in distress now (sob)

That moc is amazing, but I believe that it is not going to be easy to take apart.

Sweet. That is so worth it!

Who is that human standing next to your creation Mr. Baboon? I love the way you used the old rock raiders cage for a balcony, I never would have thought of that!

Wow awesome details! The round wall is very well done. But ... such an ugly princess^^.

That is so awesome that even awesome lego creations look at it and say, "wow, that's awesome!!!"

WOOT!! Congrats on MOTD!! Wonderful job! I love the curved tower, it's beautiful. And the fish-princess...hahahaha. 5/5

wow, holy detail batman, that looks fantastic, great job.

Brilliant building with humorous details. Well done.

amazing.

all i can say is great detail and... WOW!!!!!

Wow! I can't believe that I didn't already comment on this!

Eggselent!! Was that Ed Bighead I saw in there?

Beautiful! The round tower is great and the water too. It could be better with tiled floor in the castle itself, though.

Beatiful! An excellent choice for MOC of the day!

a very well deserved MOTD indeed, this is outstanding

http://www.mocpages.com/group.php/16886 YOu should enter my contest. Very awesome castle.

Once again, I love this castle very much! well done and happy MOTD! ^^

happy MOTD

when I first joined MOCpages in January, this was the castle that got me into the bug to build a castle. A great build, and a great tribute as well!

Grats on MOTD Eggy, good to see a fantastic castle getting some front page action. ~Thoy

You've got everything in it! A (round) tower, the sea, a 'lovely' princess and a grave. I also really like the brown medieval houses roof, it looks really realistic!

how much time its take to do this complete thing

I like the Rock Raider railing that was creative. Keep it up man!

Another great MOC! Congratulations!

How many base-plates did you use? And what size are they? Please reply. ~Soap

Great job! Awesome turret!

Astonishing!!! You made an incredible job!! I'm new on MOCpages and I'd like to ask you few questions: when you decide to create a new castle for example, where do you by all the bricks you need to realise it? You also make a sort of a project before starting it all? Thank you so much for your time! Luigi

By any chance did you get that shirt in Mexico?

I think I saw Mr. Bighead from Rocko's Modern Life lol. Excellent job with that work by the way. Kudos good sir.

Utterly incredible, don`t know where to start...the lattice window buildings are beautiful !.....well done

O.o

I want to live there :D

Excelent creation! I can't even imagine how much hard work has been put into this or any creation of that scale. I hope that I will someday :)

Brilliant attention to detail! This has been submitted as an entry to the Honours List in Caprica! Could get you a Knighthood! KGCO (Knight of the Grand Caprican Order) The round wall is a good use of an ensemle of round bricks and 3x1s! Well done.

Thats great good detail

I love this! Youve got talent Eggy Pop, I've een trying to do stuff like that, but it's hard work.

I've never seen the robin hood hats in brown

Awesome castle!

thats really sweet!!

this is just fantastic! the 5 months were worth it!

Ow you have blinded me with the sheer awesomeness of this thing.

Astounding! Wonderful masonry work on the keep, and the chappel, and hell- just about all of it! Great job all around! =)

Absolutely fantastic!

Great Moc! I love the use of the old Rock raiders cockpit for the balcony. Great Job.

wwwwwooooowwwww!!!!!I'm going try, to bild that.....smaller!?

It's...it's...it's AMAZING.

INCREDIBLE!!!

Wonderfull!

aaaammmmmaaazzziiiingggg!!!!!Just add a few more guards.

I think everybody else who has commented has stolen the words right from my keyboard.

Great work! I would love to see a trapdoor and a spiral staircase leading down into the stone tower, with some guards posted atop it. Love this set!

Fantastic!!!

Definetely deserves TBB. DEFINETELY.

AMAZING! keep up the good work!

I like how each part of the castle is different.....good job

one of, if not the best moc i have seen. top marks well done:)5/5

This castle reminds me of a certain castle in Switzerland. Really excellent work!

extraordinaire! fantastique,epique,all apply here! this is just awesome! the concept,style,color scheme,greenery,... you could make tons of stories with just this alone! it s ...awesome!

exellent work, the colour mix, the texture, the whole thing. fantastic.

From the thumbnail I thought it was real, but it is!

This has always been my favorite MOC on MOCpages ,and I just noticed that I never commented on it. Much better than 5/5 but that's the highest the ratings go unfortunately. Great work!

All I can say is wow... Amazing! Amazing! Amazing!

OMG!!!

=O

=O

10/10 amazing work, you don't get a sense of scale until you see the picture with yourself standing beside it and you realize OMG, its that big. great work.

What I meant when I said in the mocie awards that I didn't like the nominies I said that after seeing how some people were nominating there freind just because they were there didn't realy think about what I said since I was just mad about people passing up great mocs (like this one) for not so great mocs. so I should probably go edit my comment and sorry if I offened you. so ye thats what happens when I make comments with out thinking.

Holy son of a biscuit! This is so incredible! The detail work is simply amazing. Hmm, glad I have not placed my ballot yet because this just got my vote!

I like it! It kind of has a throwback to the old style of castle building, but it's great nonetheless.

Awesome!

This is freakin' awesome! I love the freakin' mushrooms and the freakin' spiderweb and the freakin' balcony and the freakin' clam! One word, man: FREAKY AWESOME! 'Kay, that's two. But I have one mini little question: How do guys get into the main turret? I can't see a door or a trapdoor or anything. Minor detail, though. Great job!

Well Mr. Eggy I know that you are a phenomenal builder but you need to sort those LEGOs. They look pretty ugly! As an aspiring builder you must a have a sense of cleanliness and order or you won't be very efficient.(of course who am I to talk) Well done on the castle. Can't take a guess how many trans blue tiles there are there.

This is great. what an ugly princess! Yuck!

GOOD GOURD!!!!! Your tremendous skillz are just barely matched by your tremendous amount of peices!

Wow.. That is amazing..I wish i had a whole room devoted to lego..Ohh wait I do it's just very small. Plz comment my mocs

wooooow !! thats the best moc i have evver seen ! would you join my group please ? http://www.mocpages.com/group.php/5342 sorry for my bad english im duth and 12 years old.

that is epic

i dont know where do you get all those lego parts!!!!!

what are they gonna do with the logs?

Wow, I'm befuddled by the sheer quality of this. How many thousands of pieces do you think this must be?

man that is really awesome! great build great job!!

truly Epic. that's all i have to say.

This is really the best! Great build. You certenly know a lot about LEGO castle building =D. Could you please check my castle, Gonore Castle. I really would appreciate your feedback!

amazeing. the court yard looks very good, the transition between sections of the caste and the land is very smooth.

This is amazing! I love how it is perfectly designed. Much better than LEGO Castle sets! Nice work again!!!

:O *In opera voice* OOOOOHHHHH EMMMMM GEEEE!!!! Awesome job! I just love the big round tower, and the rocks and the water, and the other castles, and pretty much everything in there. This is an amazing creation, keep up the good work! Not that I have to tell you... Lol.

I like the way the water merges with the land, and, just about everything else

Have I not commented on this yet? Wow! This is still my favorite Castle creation of all time. I can only hope to build something this good.

Amazing!!!!! How playable is it? are there interiors? This is just breathtaking to see!!

This is such excellent work! Thank you so much for the great photos too, very well done!

Wow! Absolutely incredible! I love your solution for the round tower; using the small cylinder bricks to let the bricks give. Genius! I can only dream of having building skills like yours one day!

I just don't know what to say. I think I need a drink... a large one... and then I will have a look through all those pictures again.

all i can say is wow that is amazing great job!!.that must cost loads

Too cool for school 'do. Awesome stuff, really great job.

Looking at this I enjoy knowing I have something to work for, I always enjoy looking at the MOCs of castle builder's who are much more experienced.

Man, that's an awesome castle. I used to build castles in the early 80's but thats nothing compared to this one.

Amazing! I really like how you put amazing amounts of detail into it! This is what everyone dreams of making! And as they said on Classic Castle, this is the greatest tribute to Erik Brok that any one could have made.

its so good i cant describe it

WHAT?!?!?!?! You don't have a beard, glasses, or a jellyfish on your head?!?!?! I think I'd go insane after all that time spent on that thing.....Incredible.

I'm probably saying something you've heard a thousand times, but you've nailed every speck of detail possible, right down the the fruit stand.

Wow, thats huge!

WOW!

O_O WOAH!

Brilliant! Genius! Wonderful! Awesome!

This is absolutely amazing....I am just breathless! These are the type of MOCs that make me think just how cool it would be if we were all mini-fig sized, it would be awesome; which is exaclty what your Estuary Stronhold is!

wow

Imagine you put that on a table and it fell off. ~Moses.

this is just awsome, im speechless, this is what i wanta become.

if your going to take it apart, then i would do it, but leave a lot, or sum as in its bin attacked!

i see the fisharmen's house in the last pic!

.....( :O )

I Am Speachless

That's awesome, Professor! Very well done.

...Oh

What a fantastic Job you did dam thats so good

Excellent job! An epic creation. I posted a comment on 25th May but I accidently erased it. Once again, fantastic creation! It's, after Helms Deep, the most epic creation you have ever done!

You should be paid for this. This is incredible.

Very detailed. It's epic. Keep on MOCing :)

I'm not sure which demon you sold your soul to for this, but it was WORTH IT! Heck, if you're going to be doing more of these, sell him mine too! Oh wait, traded mine in for wit, charm and good looks... as you can tell, I got a raw deal. Anyway, this thing is AMAZING. Take a bow my friend. Nearly half a year and well worth every second. Congratulations. ~ Chris.

Commander. Commander?! You are a PROFESSOR! Besides that sign of the near apocalypse, This is such a beautiful castle. Really well portrayed as of the time periond. ~S.K.

dude you are the best castle builder i've ever seen. you give me so many i deas on how to make my crations better.

i disagree the white building is a very nice touch.

Outstanding! Terracotta roofing is ingenious.

really awsome castle .you really did pay attention to every detail which makes a castle.I expecially liked the fish head mini fig .

wow! i am very impressed with the all the details and how you used a veriety of bricks to create an extraordinary lego addition. the way you made the buildings co-exist with one another in such a small space and not making it look to cramped together is beyond me. well done and kudos!

This is AWSOME!

Thanks everyone for all the great comments!

nice work everything looks so real

Amazing castle! The water is so realistic! The round tower is fantastic! I can see the fish bus driver. Who is he?

Wow! This is huge! Excellent work, so many great details. It was definitelly worth the effort.

sweet dude i love it where did you get all the legos to do that?

Speechless, indeed! Well done.

one word WOW the detail on the trees, ocean, stronghold and town is just amazing. one of the best creations ive seen so far. BTW please look at my creations there cool 2!!

AWSOME!!! Best stonghold ever.

I'm speechless

Dude!!!! very cool!! Also, U must be rich to aford dat much lego! How much does it weigh like 50 pounds?

Awesome!5/5! Great job!

one word WOW!

beyond my imagination... its just shocking... i followed this project from the begining and the result ROX!!!

My god Professor, this thing is absolutely stunning! All of the intricate details, like the fishing scene, are what really make this stand out however.

Good gods, man, you'r amazing!

Ah, it's finnaly done, you can relax and stop thinking about 9it now. wish I could, that aircraft carrier I'm making won't build itself. Oh well, this is incredible, your amazing attention to detail is aparent throughout, and the immense size of it is absolutely stunning. ~T

115th comment and it is still amazing! This really lets me think of building a caslte. But in my opion you could have added some tiles to cover the roofs. But...who cares?

What a lovely stronghold~~!

awesome! this is amazing....you should add some more minifigs though ;)

Holy castle thy Batman of thy town of Gotham!

this is the best Moc i think i have seen. you created a whole castle! also the land around it doesn't even look like legos. great job.

i like it

:O-some. Greatly :O-some.

FIVE MONTHS? Wow i'd give up....

I love your work! Thank you so much for your tutorials! The one on rock/mountains helped me unlock a few things in my head!

This is insane, what gave you the idea? AWESOME!!!!

Lee Jones' army should check this place out! Great job man, It really is the best LEGO castle of all time. Flippin' awesome!

I second every glowing comment made thus far, as well as all comments that follow! Rest those weary fingers, master of castles. Your eyes too, as I imagine this model is pretty well seered into your retinas!

This is amazing!

this is epic ...dude you just have a lot of free time ...wow..

this... is a joke. right?

I'm awestruck. That is something very very special. Magnificent is the only word I can think of which comes close to doing it justice. I love the buildings at different era's (like a real fort would be) and the little touches everywhere, including the best use of a Rock Raiders cockpit canopy ever!

Thats excelent. Wish I could build like that. Very nice though.

I dunno about the white building but everything else is magnificent. I have to wonder though, where does all that water come from to be that waterfall?

The castle, as always, is amazing. What's also cool is the different terrain around the border and how it blends nicely with the caslte. The mini-scenes going on all around is also a great touch.

Awe you did it my friend you pulled it off :) Great work on it too. Love those circular towers for some reason I can not figure them out???? I even asked DARKspawn to email me! but anyways see you ~Tristan Amaya

Great work Brian, as always. I'll add more later, but right now all I can think about is that you should now pay homage to DarkSpawn and shoot a video of the destruction of Estuary... you know you want to.

OH MY GOD! This is only the best thing ever! All it needs are swarms of soldiers, but still freakin' awesome!

That is nothing short of spectacular! That coastline is great and I love the wall texture. You should be proud! Thanks for sharing.

Well that sucks...JK this is the best castle ever!!11 its so big!~

I bask in the glory that is Estuary Stronghold. Beautiful job is such an understatement. Lee.

This is a legendary build. Definately your best yet.

This is an epic build to say the least. The castle walls are fantastic, as so is the landscaping. The thing that got me here is the water technique, it is beautiful, best water landscape I've seen so far. With that said I think I'm giving that impression that this is a legendary build. Could we have a winner for next years castle MOCie awards?

Excellent work Professor! The tower is fantastic, but I really like the "wooden framework" on that window. That's a nice touch.

Amazing…I love how neatly the different architectural styles blend together into a cohesive whole. Outstanding work.

Great job, Brian! This is a piece of art!

Amazing detail! Only frustrating thing about it is the fact I can't comment on ALL the details. I could try, but I don't feel like giving up half my life. :P

*Twitches* Heh. Big? Good? Detailed? Those words do not give this justice. This veritable castle model smashes all others to little tiny LEGO particles, which now reside deep in... well, you get the idea. Now, let me contradict myself. This is amazing, the details simply burn away my unworthy eye balls. And with my sockets dripping with undeserved blood and my brain sizzling as a fried egg on the sidewalk, I say again. AMAZING. (!) Very nice, times 1,000. I love that beach... and the size of it. (Huge, if you didn't notice. As in LARGE. As in GYENORMUS.) See, my brain is so eggy* that now I can't even type correctly. I'm guessing that it will take a bit to take apart. Didn't you say something about a port MOC? :) *I am not responsible for any smashed computers directly or indirectly related to any of my puns.

Amazing. I think the beach edge is still the best part.

I can't keep my eyes from it, all these structures, the beautiful overall layout and the enormous amount of detail, from the birds to the trees, I keep looking at it, murmuring three words omgomgomg

5 months!!!?? This suc|<s! LOL! Just kidding! This is flat out amazing! Your castles are nothing short of extra-ordinary! (That word doesn't make sens. Think "extra" and "ordinary." What does that mean?

This is beautiful! What a fantastic creation!

wow... that's just amazing

well professor, please tell me it was worth the effort! This is bee you tee full! my favourit parts are the coconut trees, the beach (waaaaw!) & the secret passage and that balcony is priceless! I bow before thee, my master...

Saw this on CC. Looks fantastic!

Everything about this is amazing. It's so good it should be illegal.

Impressive!

You, sir are crazy!!! So many details, such a big MOC... I cant find the words for it!!!

I am awestruck. I can't stop looking at all the amazing detail. I agree with the others, and say that this is the best castle I have ever seen.

This is awesome! I love the village feel to it, and how it is more of a peaceful town than a battle ready fortress. Good use of parts, I knew someone would find another use for those brown rockraiders cockpits!

We would kiss the calluses on your fingertips if it would give us this awesome building skill. That weird image aside, this thing is right up there as one of the top Castle MOCs I have ever seen thanks to the loads of details. I love how you used the brown miner canopy -- it so works!

Impressively fantastic! VERY well done, Professor, very well done. Like I said in my comments on your WIP posts, I absolutely love the water, the walls, the sand, the trees, the rocks, the cave, the village buildings, and everything in-between. Congratulations!

Man this is beyond awesome. Those 5 months of work really paid off for you, excellent job!

Very Impressive Castle. The details are excellent. Congratulations on the attention across the LEGO world for a fine project.

Amazing work! I have been waiting for it to be finished for awhile! Truly a master piece! ~ J

Now this is truly a work of art! And was that a fish I saw in the window?

Well done! It was an absolute joy to look at!

Nicely done, it's finally finished, it's awesome, great job on detail, I think the white tower doesn't fit very well though it's a very nice tower, great job, amazing stronghold

You win life.

Greatest castle ever created. No questions. Great job Professor!

It is beautiful. A great tribute to Erik Brok. He was the inventor and creator of the first Estuary Stronghold. Great work! A good way to remember an absolute LEGO-genius.

Wow I am stunned...Great job on the water (As I have said before) the tower is just amazing! Keep up the good work!

Simply Stunning! Great job Professor!

That is OUTSTANDING! Very clever use of the old Rock Raiders rollcage as a balcony, too.

Wow...

This is amazing! Fabulous work!

Wow, epic! That tower and the transition between the water is sweet! This MOC was well worth the wait,congrats ~LL( PS: @ Ben Tice-the water is not SNOT, it's just studless because of his awesome use of tiles)

That tower is amazing...maybe put some stuff on top of it? 5/5 P.S., can you check out my new Omega I- Behemoth mech?

So that's what you've been doing lately...

So beautiful! This MOC has so many great looking details that WOAH! Excellent job!

Excellent work, great detail all round. I realy like how you did the water effect where it washes on to the beach, looks very realistic from above. I know these big mocs take time, but its always worth it when they turn out like this. Good job

Waoo !! It's magnific !! Excellent !!!!!

An absolute FEAST for the eyes, Professor! Terrific creation on every level. Like our esteemed Mr. Goldman suggested, I think seeing this in person would be the only way to really appreciate all of the work that went into it. (although your journal entries helped in that regard) I'll be visiting this page numerous times, I'm sure. Fantastic MOC!

Waoo !! It's magnific !! Excellent !!!!!

Wow! That's some prime real estate. Looks like the prefect place for StabFest, the Mongol Hordes Annual Picnic. Bring the kids. Free fish and entrails for the whole family. There's a Urt speed build that sounds like a lot of fun. saddle up. garth

This is amazing! It's absolutely perfect, you should be very proud of this!

A wonderful creation once more! I'd love to see a close up of the rosette window. But as Steef pointed out, how do they get on top of those towers?

Holy moly...

You got insane skills!

Wonderful! Id like some more details on the floor but what can I expect? Its a friggen big castle! Awesome.

A virtual pat on the back for sticking with it and finishing the beast, congratulations. Great job on the mottled walls. In other hands (mine, for instance), they could have very easily turned out just messy looking.

A smashing piece! Lovely work. I love how you integrated the big rounded tower with the other square buildings. One thing though: how do the inhabitants get on that big tower or on the white building to defend them? There doesn't seem to be any stairs ;)

wow...i really love it, even if the master is always the master ;) Marco

Finally you post the completed version! The five-month wait was definitely worth it. I'm still taking in all the detail, and I'm sure this will look better when you can do the Photoshopping. Congratulations for finishing this thing.

Wow, that looks exhausting, just looking at it. But I'm glad it's finally finished. I love the courtyard tree. Good day
