 :wave: Hi Dragon, thanks very much I hope I can inspire as much as the other members here have inspired me.

 :lens: Hi Wolf Knight, does it? I wish I could say it was a secret nod and wink to a great writer but it's just a coincidence!

A small scale suggestion;
Perhaps the castle (chateau de Moulinsart) from Tintin & Captain Haddock?

It would be quite fitting with the release of Steven Spielberg's movie based on "The Secret of the Unicorn" later this year (in this Tintin-adventure  the castle shows up for the 1st time)...


Or on a larger scale; maybe the French castle which inspired Hergé for his books?
It it the "chateau de Cheverny" in France. Hergé left off the left and right sections for Tintin's adventures...

Emma, this is an incredible work of art.

I am quite simply stunned by the level of detail you put into all of your conversions, but the grander scale of this one has even managed to eclipse your previous buildings. :o
Thank you for sharing your fabulous creation with all of us! :*)
