5 Foot Tall Fantasy Castle

Thanks Bruce. Those details took a lot of planning and trial and error. BTW, at the bottom of the picture you linked there is a small sea cave in the landscaping. Can't see it too well in that link. Here's a better one http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=757083

I agree with Brian. I am not ashamed to come out of the closet and say I use clones once in a while. Tyco and MB offer some different colors than Lego, and they seem to keep their brightness longer than Lego. Unlike Lego, for example, they don't seem to yellow with age as quickly. I have also never ...

It's mine. It took me 3 months to build and measures 5 ft tall by 4 ft long by 3 ft wide. I used about 35,000 to 50,000 bricks (mustly purchased via bulk lots on evilBay at an estimated cost of $1500). It sits on top of a wooden wheeled dolly I constructed so it could be more easily moved around (we...
