Title: Hello, This is "Canthabrica", my fortress.
Post by: drg on March 10, 2007, 05:51:00 PM

Hello! I am David, from Bilbao ( Spain ). I am a member of playclicks.com and I would like to show the big castle - fortress that i am building since two years ago. It is not finished yet. Sorry, i have only a few minutes, so that I only can put a few photos.
The fortress is in Playclicks, Playforos: http://www.playclicks.com/playforos/index.php?topic=11615.0  (the link has been updated)
This is the actual aspect of the castle ( 10 - 03 -2007 ):

Hello, David ...

I just finished looking at all of your photos of your amazing "Canthabrica" (http://www.playclicks.com/noticias/foro/showthread.php?s=8d43d29d90215b1715d5ed6ba4ceb5eb&threadid=11615) at Playclicks! WOW!

That is the most fantastic Steck-System Castle that I have ever seen!

I hope that Zirndorf sees it and realizes that Playmobil needs to keep making their Steck-System as well as SystemX!

Your tutorials are brilliant! Thank you very much for taking the time to show all of us how you were able to construct such an incredible Castillo de España!

I also hope that Yoyei will set up a separate section for architecture as you have suggested.

Thanks again for sharing your marvelous creation.

All the best,
Richard

I think breathtaking is the best word to describe the castle, how many parts did u use or didnt u count them?

Very impressive castle, David! :o

I especially like the tall, narrow shape of the building, and the layout of the turrets and towers.

It gives it a very imposing feel, just like a real medieval fortress. 8)

I have not counted the number of castles that i have used, there are a lot of them, and a lot of pieces bought on ebay. There is a link at playcliks ( http://www.playclicks.com/playforos/index.php?topic=13260.0 ) where i am explaining the pieces that i have used, but i must to update it, because the castle have more pieces nowadays

Yes, there are a lot of rooms, doors, etc inside, the castle has 10 levels, but they hasn´t the pieces of the floors because the rooms has very different forms and the standard floor pieces of playmobil can´t be used in those rooms. I must to make my own floors.
