You know what I mean: the brown-ish variety. There's lots of castles around Europe in that colour, and I think it would have resulted in a prettier set. Plus it would also have made collectors buy more copies of the same set.
-
That is an interesting idea. ???
I think it would look really cool! :)
-
Brick for houses probably came in after the castle ear, maybe more Tudor than Plantagenet in English history terms.
-
yes that's a good idea ;)
i guess if you leave the normal grey steck to dust or have it for many years it would turn brown .....

Mmm. Or leaving it in a bucket full of tea?
Wolf Knight - how about trying it with one of your 3666's?

I agree, I think brick was a later invention and those "Castles" built in brick are really fortified houses, not castles.
Hurstmonceaux in Sussex is a good example of what I mean, it was built in brick in 1440, after the era of real castles, and would never have been built this way if it was expected to survive a siege.

In Holland there are many brick castles, even from the early middle ages. There is no bedrock in Holland. Only sand, peat and clay. So if you wanted a castle back then, you were stuck with brick.

Here in Southern Scotland a number of local castles were built using red sandstone, this being one of the local stones.

This is a 13th century castle.

Could you name that castle for us Elaine?
It may be originally 13th century, but the sides display window holes, so I think it's been extended and modified since the original build.
-
It is called Caerlaverock Castle and is in Dumfries and Galloway.
Yes, it has been added to over the centuries Martin, in fact there is a 17th century residence inside the walls. It's triangular shape makes is quite unique around here.
There was also an earlier castle nearby.
Here is a link for it:
