A quick WIP to show I'm still building for BrickFair Virginia (and alive - I'm just holding back uploads on Flickr).
This, of course, is a pink princess prison tower and guard house on a floating rock bursting out of clouds suspended by Pick-A-Brick cups. Y'know, like we all build.
I don't think it's a great build, but it's taught me loads about texture - matching the curved SNOT tile wall to a brick-built wall with some SNOT pieces in it, building a few different styles of clouds (sorry, no time to make them match), as well as rolling sand green grass and pointy rocks. I'm pretty happy with most of the castle wall technique, which is great for only my second time building SNOT-heavy walls (the first time was an earlier draft of this model).
Also: this is my first attempt at a floating rock. I clearly am not good at that.
