Osaka Castle is one of the many castles in Japan. As far as the castles in Japan go, Osaka is unique because of its green/teal roof. They create this roof by using turquoise bricks.
Overall the build is straightforward from starting with an outline on the solid 20×20 base. You build up the base that creates the actual castle’s base. Then you build the castle. Making sure you are using the correctly slanted pieces is tricky because it can be tricky to tell it is one or two bricks wide. Overall the details in the layer in between the roof layers also look really lovely.
I really like the build. I think it is recognizable as a traditional Japanese Castle. I think the use of the teal does an excellent job of giving it the correct color roof.
