Builds A work in progress, tips please!

[DragonSan]

Ok guys I've been working on this build every now and then. It's my first build so I thought 'why not start with a big ol' castle'
: P It's just a hobby not a submission or anything like that, but if you could look over it and give me some feedback that'd be great!

It's nowhere near finished, but I thought I'd post a few screenshots to show progression, development etc. I hope you guys like what I've done so far! If not, give me tips on how to make it better please. I know some parts look a bit dull and bland but I'm not sure how to improve them or what blocks to use without making it look stupid...

There's still a lot of space left, and im still thinking of including a forge and the main bulky section of the castle with a food court, sleeping quarters for the king etc. I'm also going to add 2 more towers on each corner all at different heights.

So what do you think? Any good or should I just scrap it and start something else?

All opinions welcome!

EDIT: Some of the images uploaded twice I know, don't ask me why xD

In the castle walls there is a second floor, and I'm hoping to add a big stone fort at the back that will have many floors in it : P

oh then ;) but it will be even better to make an castle little higher I think it is kind of low ;) but it still looks cool ;)

Alright, thanks for the suggestion! I might make it higher once I finish some of the other things inside, it does look a little bit low.

I dont know... The walls are really flat in my opninion.

Okay, I'm no building expert, but I think it needs the following:
1. A second floor
2. A verity of blocks on the outer wall (which it does) but i think it needs to be blended better.
3. The walk ways are kinda scrambled, so redone walk ways.

I like the idea, some detail with mossy cobble or adding some texture blocks in the mote wouldn't be a bad idea.
Keep it up :D

I thought that too but I'm not sure how to add depth without ruining the 'strong & sturdy' look. I'll experiment and see what I can do...

1. I'm gonna try to add more levels soon, and the walls are gonna be raised too.
2. How do I blend them better? I could add more types of stone block but I don't want it to look a mess.
3. Meh, I'm happy enough with the walkways.

Thnx for your input! : D

Dont be scared to ruin things. you never know if you didn't try it;)

I like this build. Maybe make it a bit taller or just add more things. Anyways, great work!

I love the interior design, very well done. My only issue with this build so far is that I feel there is a lack of depth in the walls. I'm not a builder so it may look better this way, but I feel that the walls look a little bit flat. Over all this looks very good and I can't wait to see the final product (:

Cheers cake ^-^ Yeh, I'm gonna figure out a way to make the walls a bit more interesting, a few other people have suggested the same.
Thanks for the support though!
