The deal was to start building a big castle but as my own architectural skills fail i started searching for blueprints.
And then i stumbled upon a creative man who builds castles out of Lego. A man who goes by the name of Robert Carney. http://www.carneycastle.com/index.htm
The castle i singles oud thinking the task would be relatively beginner level project yet big enought o keep me occupied was Dover.
And as the project started 3 days ago now, it seemed easy enough. and then i found out that knowing how the outer walls work out is only half the job.
Building insides is equally challenging.
And as I started tackling the interiors i found that not only its equally challenging it was killing me. Because the castle thats blueprint layd one layer thick didnt seem impressive at all having first outer wall built had so much room inside that any of my previous creations would fit in there with room to spare.
So now one of many disclaimers: I'm building it after a lego blueprint (wich in itself is interpretation of the castle not 101% accurate replica.
I'm also building it in much wierder cube block world of minecraft and some parts i just need to change adapt or artistically improve to achieve the results.
And as my castle is only interpretation (very loose) then the commentary of it being wrong to call it Dover is not really apropriate. As the project is tribute to a tribute of a Dower.
And the insides - its even loser interpretation of the real thing due to me being only scale things with the accuracy of 1 meter. and my need to keep some Minecraft essentials within the castle i have rooms and stairs where i can not where they should be. and esthetics is the main goal not accuracy.
And at the end of the disclaimer i would like to thank Robert Carney for the immense work he has done. Congradulate him for each and every castle he has made. Special thanks of doing Kuressaare fort thats located at Saaremaa island on the west coast of Estonia(its the huge island on the map if you zoom in very very much)
And many many thanks for all the blueprints detailed, very detailed and general ones. progress shots of the castles. so i can atleast try to keep the Dover Dover'ish
Disclaimer2: the moat and ditch and water thats not present around the real Dower keep. (when i start adding pictures you know what i'm talking about) its MC specific req for defence against wildlife and chickens who are working heavily on the evil masterplan of destroying my work.
Have a nice day
and please. if you dont like typos, grammar errors and other misconduct of english language. never return. because i'm hopeless.
