Next step in building a Castle

Since my last post there hasn't been a great deal of progress on Castle Black, mainly minor details or things in the interior. I have, however, created a template for the Wall, which will need to be filled in with a mixture of snow and packed -ice blocks. My next step is to create the outlines for Castle Black's interior buildings which include; housing, dinning hall, armory, the Wall's elevator, stables and more. These will be done in dark woods, cobble stone, some fencing and more types of blocks that I can't think of right now.

This build isn't just going to be a shell of the Castle, no, it will be lived in and will have all its little quirks and tricks. Everyone has to keep in mind that this is the equivalent of military barracks, however old and neglected it may be. The people of Westeros build this Castle, and the numerous other abandoned ones along the walls length, to keep out anything unwanted from the true North so it was maned, and people saw honor in serving its cause.

The same can be said for Hadrian's Wall. The people at that time built the wall to keep out invasions and protect the people on the other side of it. Soldiers would have been guarding that wall night and day, rain or shine, come hell or high water.
