They both look great, but I do like the first one a bit more.

I like the second one better, but it may look better without the smaller part on top. Especially the slanted roof looks a bit odd to me.

I like the last one better, but without the upper structure. It's a pity PM doesn't make Norman's long shield, a few knight with those and full body chainmail would fit perfectly in such a castle. A.

Some of the viking shields might work for it, along with the cone shaped helmets. Some of the 90's soldiers might be suiteable to use as knights.

What a great project. The motte and bailey was an interesting castle design that you seem to capture quite well with your tests.

 After seeing your buildings it brings up the thought that Geobra needs to re-release the western stecks and steck building foundations more than ever ;D To me they are even more versitile than steck castle pieces in regards to how and who can use them.

If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:
