see it started out that way but didnt finish that way. the original owner died during the building and left it to his much younger wife. she could not inherit his fortune unless she finished the castle.. she took huge short cuts but ended up spending almost all of the money he had left for her in doing so the back wall was all wooden structure, the cieling had parts i couldn't walk on cause it was rotten. lots of stuff like that

Thanks Guys! It seems the new guy went and fixed all that. I cannot attest to the roof, but the 2nd level and and back wall are fixed up.  :)

Wait, is the guy who still owns it the one who has his picture in the dining room of him w/his dogs? Last time I was there (2 years ago?) the second floor was his "modern living space", and only the first floor was open.

Very cool. I like that mace you had, it looked good with your kit.

When I read the thread title, and seeing it was Sir Nathan posting it, I thought I'd see pics of US in various kits from over the past year or so as an amusing tribute to his much elder brethren!  Glad to see it was just him- you're the man Nathan, you cut quite a dashing figure, be it in modern or medieval attire.

I fully expected to see this guy in here somewhere:
