Hopefully, you have a neck, fingers and less sickly skin tone though.
Snay, I'm not knocking the Lego style exactly, just pointing out that figs could be made in another style and still function with the leg-peg things....and without those psychotic smiles!

Just repaint the faces then... my friend did that when she made mini-figs representing the Queer As Folk and the L Word casts. God knows why though... I still am waiting for her to finish her Star Trek ones.

"How much more is left before it's finished?"
A lot. I haven't even done the ground level yet!
And, honestly, I'm almost tapped out on dark gray bricks and tan bricks. Dark gray isn't a huge deal as I should have enough to finish the mountain ... tan, though, is going to delay me awhile, as I've got insurance due next month and won't be budgeted for a big ($300?) Bricklink order for awhile ...

(Ignore my comment from before. Siegfried' post wasn't there, and I didn't realize you were talking about Lego people's proportionality within their own bodies. I humbly apologize for my confusion.)

There are already Trek and Star WArs figures in the Lego style by Kubrik and Art asylum. Cool shit. The Matrix figs are pretty funny- you could have them as castle guards...

I'll say- that does not look anything like the Enterprise.

Seriously, do you have a final plan in mind or are you just going untill it looks "finished"?

I have somewhat of a plan. Sort of. In my head. But then, like, I'll be "Oh, this would look cool" and so I'll build something (see that series of arches supported by pillars?) and have to revise my plan accordingly. That series of arches will support a building, methinks. There is going to be a "Great" tower in that corner where the arches end, and the Great Hall will go behind that Clock Tower. The Entry Hall will be roughly fixated where that bridge terminates.

Sounds like how I build models sometimes...

I'm off to bed, but I wanted to share a photo which shows some of the under-supports of the Castle. Also in this image, note an excellent view of the Great Hull support structure, as well as a rough-frame of the Entry Hall.
