The Alphabet Project
James Brink 11 III 04

Welcome to the Alphabet Castle Project page at Classic-Castle.com. The alphabet project is a challenge that I have set forth for myself to build a castle creation for each letter of the alphabet. It can be anything castle related such as siege weapon, shop, or a specific part of a castle. The focus is on smaller creations and most are built with the idea of being a potential set.


Creating Custom Accessories
Kevin 7 III 04

Do your minifigs tire of always having the same weapon? Does Godric the Barbarian demand an Iron Mace of Impaling? Isaac Yue, better known as Red Bean, will guide you through how to make your own custom weapons and armor.
