A note when viewing: Hello, thanks for your time to look at my creation. I just wanted to make a note that this is a megabuild and will take a long time to complete. You will see nothing traditional here, I always try to invent my own style and architectures because thats just how I roll. I promise that I'll update this thread when I can, but the sheer SIZE of this build makes subtle changes hard to notice. This is why I will try to include current pics in each new post. When will it be finished? When I feel like it is acceptable and I feel that there's nothing I would change about it.
TL;DR -- Thanks for looking, the build is very big so its hard to see subtle changes. I will update the pics as I go so you can see the differences. Castle will be done when I feel like it needs nothing else.
WHAT'S NEW?:
COURTYARD UPDATES:
Courtyard
Grand Castle (view from courtyard) note: castle won't fully render!
Looks great so far, if only you didn't build on super flat though.
Thanks, I agree about superflat... but I simply cannot imagine trying to mine out a spot for something of this magnitude. It would look better though.
Quick update: I added my city layout -- the streets on which my town will be located. This is a 200+ X 200+ square, or roughly more than 40,000 blocks of cobblestone.
Needless to say, I'm quite tired and very bored from doing this. More on the way soon. This is still just the beginning guys, I know its kinda boring so far but bear with me. Its much larger than the pics appear.

I really like that spire design, think I may try and use it in a current project of mine. Hope you don't mind, afterall imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Nah, I don't mind lol. I'm sure I'm not the person that came up with this. Glad you like it

OK, well I added some slight modifications to the glass in the sky.
I have added 3 more bridges in the city and have begun the entrance to Swiftlight. The entrance is no where near done -- and getting rid of the grass will be one of the last things I do to this place so we have to look at it for a little while more.

Here's an update for y'all. I'd say its roughly 20% done now. Even after the outlines are built, theres hundreds of details that I'll be adding to everything. Long, long way to go...
Guys this thing is so big, it won't even fully render from the courtyard to the castle... Look at how even the back pillars won't render from the front! The 5 pillars you are seeing are only part of the structure of the castle. The actual castle is still not there yet, not even close.
EDIT:Here's an idea of the detail I'm talking about!
Really cool! Seems like a pain to do by yourself xD You want any help with it?
Oh it is a pain, everything takes forever since its so big... But I don't build with a plan I just add as I go so its kinda hard to designate someone to help if I don't even know what I want to make yet lol!
Maybe I'll come up with a direct plan for it and get some ppl who want to help soon.

O______O This thread should be much more popular than it actually is. I'm so happy to see someone actually spending a considerable amount of time on a build. This only helps to prove the point that you don't need MCPC to create something amazing. You simply can't expect a build to be "epic" if you only spent a week working on it.
OK! I added a little bit to the back of the top part of the castle. There are still a lot of holes to fill in, so it will look much better when that's done.

Glad you like it! Yes, I purposefully made it super-BIG so that I'd have something to work on for a long time. The way things are going, this might take weeks lol.

I know the feeling. My current project has been a WIP for 2 months, and it's not even close to being halfway done. x_x I've been neglecting it a bit though... thanks to work and Borderlands 2.
Anyway, I can't wait to see this finished. I'll definitely be following this thread.
OK! Sorry its been a few days since I've posted, but I've been enjoying survival mode, getting my equipment enchanted and whatnot. Anyway, here we go! I added a few things to the back, closed up the sides, and made a staircase up the centerpiece and up to the top.
Still have a lot to do so its hard to get motivated sometimes.

I got in a creative mood and just added some more details here and there. I'm just not ready to tackle what I have to do to fill this thing in just yet.

Very nice work. +1
Thank you! I don't know exactly how long, but I'd say about 15-20 hours?
