King's Castle - a crowning achievement - The Brothers Brick

An undisputed master of castle, Rocko, presents perhaps his best work called King’s Castle, a rising structure from the waters with fortification on all four sides. Overall, the builder estimates over 10,000 pieces used to complete the creation, and I’ve not dared to ask how much time went into the whole project (not to mention the cost). Entered ito the CCCVI contest, this creation is likely to overshadow the other entries.

I don’t know about undisputed. I’ve got my own masters list. ;)

The real sad thing is that I only made a couple 20 dollar orders off Bricklink to finish this. I already had the rest. Don’t be a junkie, kids! It gets you nothing but… er… fun? :P

I changed the first word of the post, that should make things more realistic.

It’s amazing how one word can make the difference between realism and making me sound like a world champion wrestler. ;)

@Rocko Too late I’m already completely addicted ;). *Mumbles something about being completely broke.*

Rocko, I’m blaming you for my debt.

Ah so that’s where all the blue brick went from bricklink. I’m always building to the volume of bricks I have, but it’s great to see how far this hobby can go. Very nice job Rocko. Bravo!

Great work, but the links to the brickshelf folders aren’t public yet :/

Wow. I have seen many, many castles, but this one blew me away. I have a feeling you’re gonna win the contest. =)

I’ve spent the past week scouring sites like Brickshelf, flickr, and MOCpages for castle works (looking at doing some myself soon). This has got to be one of the finest of any that I’ve seen…just stunning.
