Castles in Poland

syfylis

I am a Pole living for over 6 years in England and this time I'm not going to write much here, just want to give some inspiration that may be usefull in foundry and show part of my country. Polish castles, sometimes beautiful sometimes scary. Full of their own secrets, some greatly damaged at second world war but never less this is a real history. Enjoy ....

My ancestry has a lot of people from that area, so thanks for sharing!

As for the "friendly" music, makes me want to sleep there...at midnight, LOL!

Seriously, that music should be in the future game's combat, it's perfect!

Zimmer! D'OH! I should have recognized his work! Yeah, guessing with royalties, maybe not, but it is ideal fighting music for the former and very great for the latter!

Very nice pictures of the Polish castles, the music was nice as well.

Heh, if we can build anything even remotely like that in the Foundry I'm going to be a happy guy!

Thanks, since you guys like it then i'll add another movie about polish fencing. Some people compare polish sabre with japanesse katana but it's hard to say which is better.

I was lucky enough to travel extensively in Europe as a younger man but I never made it to Poland and seeing that made me regret that fact deeply.

This is very cool... But I don't think the foundry works like this. Though it would be me dream if you could make custom models

maybe but I thought to show something interesting to people and change view of Poland where "people live in -30 degrees and polar bears are runing on streets". Well...

Since we are on fire with this thread then time come for Polish Armors.

Wait, where DO the Polar Bears live then, in Jabłonowski Palace?

Very nice photos. Thanks for sharing. I have seen mostly castles in Ireland and the U.K. Have to make my way to see some of the castle images you have posted. Very nice!
