This is crazy, Panos! Can you sleep inside or is it just for the cat?  :D
It needs banners.

 :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:
Not as big as it looks, but I guess the cats can find it very comfortable  :lol: :lol: :lol:

It needs banners.

True, but have not figured out what kind ... I know its name, but not sure about the coat of arms....
And banners are not the only thing it needs... I am learning the bad way that...

THERE IS NEVER ENOUGHT STECK!!!!
 :lol: :lol: :lol:

Unfortunately, they have not come near it yet  :( Maybe they do when I'm away  :lol:

Can't stop looking at it, Panos!  I love the symetry that you have created and the size is perfect.  I look forward to more pictures as you go.  Thanks.

It looks great, massive project. Are you planning on doing interiors also?

Thank you George! I am glad you like it! I had this project in mind for some time now! And its a good period to devote my time to it  :love: :love: :love: Just hope I have enough steck to finish it  :lol: :lol:

It looks fantastic Panos   :wow:  :love: - It's probably as big as my Hogwarts!


Thank you Elaine  :) I think it is! Although I wish to make it bigger.

Thank you for your good words and feedback, Joe! Much appreciated  :) Once It's finished, I'll certainly take a lot of pics  ;D

Very Nice Design and brilliant setup Panos!

Thank you Angelo!  :) I am so glad you like it!!! It may take some more time, but I'll reveal its name once its complete  ;)

 :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: If I'm out of steck parts before completing it, that would mean that George has indeed much more steck than anyone else in Greece :lol: :lol: :lol:
I am not planning on interiors becaus I am not sure my pieces will last for anything grand...  :-\

Wowowowow!!

That is a wonderfull castle Panos!!!!! Can't wait to see it finished!!!
I hope a photostory will follow  :crossed: :crossed: :crossed: :crossed:

Thank you Gaston  :D ... Unfortunatelly, this project has nothing to do with my stories, Its just a massive castle... perhaps a lot of pics with set up scenes and klickies will be in order once its finished...

Awesome Sir !!!! Glad i can see it now !!! Looks very impressive !!! I cant wait and literally i cant wait to see it full of soldiers and a king going though these walls with his elite guard etc. This castle is spectacular worthy of an empire !!!!!!!!

.. and you are right, there is never enough steck, i dread to think how many steck parts you need to create those 3 decked walls, god even just the thought makes me shiver...

Impressive just impressive , now please sir can we see more pics of the finished set up with soldiers and stuff ??? a castle needs an army too !!!!

Ok, I promise you, Monday onwards, I'll finish it within the coming week. But don't hope for much changes...or additions... I am out of floors and two way connectors, plus a few other pieces, so the castle...or should I say, the citadel... is not getting any bigger  :(

As this project moves one, I am constantly finding out that I miss certain parts to complete the inside of the castle  :( I am talking mostly about furniture and various indoors parts and accessories... so that may take a little while... Being a perfectionist doe not help  :lol:

Regardless if all those knights will not have a mattress / bed to sleep unlike the soft delicate beds of 5300 not even 100 5300s with all the victorian bed sets in the world can create the magic presented before us with this SPECTACULAR SPECTACULAR  steck set up !!!!!!!! I am stil in awe

Another proof of the greatness of steck and 3666 parts etc  ;)

Whoooo I had missed this one too.
What can I say? All of the above  :wow:

It's not just the fact that it's steck or that it's such a vast project, but the design/outlay looks brilliant!

I am into furnishing houses so I would definitely give that a go aswell, but I can imagine that might be a little too much to deal with  :)

Great castle design! Looking forward to seeing it with armed guards and knights lining the terraces ready for battle. What kingdom does this castle belong to? Show us a picture of the king!
Title: Re: Steck Castle: Summer 2012 Project
Post by: Wolf Knight on September 22, 2012, 07:02:25
It is with a sad and heavy heart that I had to put this project on hold.  :(

I know you all anticipated to see this finished, but my perfectionism took over and realised I won't have this ready not even by Christmas. I need to raise more number in the ranks, design the leaders better, get a few more defensive accessories for the castle, and frankly, I need a little more room in the courtyard, so I need more steck to make the structure bigger... I also need to place a DS spare parts order and I am not in a position to do so now.

So if you please bear with me for the not so near future when this will be rebuild (I had to bring it down yesterday :'( ) I promise a much better designed and executed project!!!

To give you some hints on the scenario behind this project: This is the Citadel of Adun! I am fashioning a knight/monastic order after a fantastic alien race called Protoss, inspired by the well acclaimed computer game Starcraft. As with the Protoss, this order will be a stratified one, men achieving the highest rank through battle, hardship and great deeds! So no king here, I'm afraid, just the highest positions a warrior can reach : praetor, judicator, executor - these again depending on the cast from which each warrior ascends.

I really want to thank everyone whose been supporting until now, and especially Rainer for helping me with the items I needed, and I promise you I won't let you down guys, the project is just postponed, not canceled!!

We can be patient :) Anyone who has done a big project knows it takes ages sometimes, and that you realize part way through the things you didn't think about before, so back to the drawing table.
