so, what are y'all working on? a few months back, I decided to build 6085, the Black Monarch's Castle. I always loved that set, but didn't have it when I was a kid, so I built it with the parts I have. then I modified it with some more modern touches, like the cheese wedge crenellation (yeah, that's not very modern, it's all relative). then I decided to expand. then expand more and more, to the point where it is now, with a very similar size and shape to the Ninjago city gardens.
staircases! 
elaborate brick work! 
modularity! 
Redesigning from scratch the MOC back to school castle set since i can't find it anywhere for sale.
