Answers.Body: <p>This is pretty clearly a MOC created by combining elements from multiple Castle sets. None of the castle sets were nearly this large for one thing.

Answers.Text: I agree. Going by the amount of grey bricks alone you need at least 3, probably 4 castle sets together to have that many. The black bricks need also at least 2 or 3 sets.

Body: <p>Is this photo an actual set ? If yes which one, and if not, any idea what it's based upon ?
  (if it's not a canon set, my own research suggest that's it's made from 6085 but I'm not sure).</p>
