I stumbled across one of BrickShelf user "RebelRock"'s castles during a Google image search for "Lego Castle", and I'm really impressed by some of his builds! Take a look through his castle gallery for yourself!What do you think of his style? To me, it's a refreshingly-clean classic look, reminiscent of an official TLG set, but more "fleshed out", as you'd expect from an AFOL with a pretty sizable collection. I am feeling the building bug BIG TIME after looking through this collection of impressive castles!

Actually, as I continued to look around, I found this adorably-awesome build, which I'd seen before somewhere on Classic-Castle.com, I think.

Most impressive. Is he still active? Maybe he has a flickr too.

I don't have any way of knowing that, but I haven't seen any of these on Flickr before, that I know of. Also, other than about 3 people, it seems tough to consider anyone at Classic-Castle "active" these days, sadly.
One of these castles was photographed in Feb of '16, so he/she is still building, it seems. I suppose the fact that they are still using BrickShelf in 2016 would indicate that they likely haven't migrated to Flickr yet.
EDIT: I found his profile on Classic Castle, but he hasn't logged into that site since 2009.

I've seen his work in the TBB archives, so I just searched there and found his Flickr. Here's one of his castles there: King's Castle 1 by Rocko™, on Flickr He does indeed have some extremely impressive builds. Personally I tend toward a more detailed style, but I think that's partly matter of scale; the simpler classic style works extremely well for these massive builds.

Good find!
Looks like he hasn't posted there in a long time, sadly.
