CCCXII - Large Misc - Invindra

Post by cookiesdad »

Last minute submission by another dad and daughter team (daughter is long asleep).

The Tower of Invindra is a magic school built around a floating tree of life. It's a castle for the castle contest --Large Miscellaneous Category. I'm still a classic castle guy, so I'm still partial to the 1x5 panels, and if you squint really hard at the first picture, you can still see 6080. :D

Even though I'm partial to the Crusaders, I always liked the Dragon Knights (they had dragons!), and decided that every magic school needs a dragon nest.

Hope you like the MOC. We certainly had fun building it.

wow, this is huge and with some great details! not a panel fan myself, but the taller parts in particular are very interesting.

Thanks! The tower tops out at 3 feet. I blatantly copied, err, derived a lot of inspiration from DNZ's Phrean.

Thanks! Actually my daughter did that (along with the hatchlings, the eggs, and the plate of food).

HUGE build :o The cleaner wall style works well on such a large scale and I like the middle tower with 'floating' sections a lot :)

Thanks. I was trying to make this an utilitarian and defensible castle with a more fantasy flair... so stairs and bridges to nowhere and hanging towers.

Thanks! It works better this way, since I now have an excuse to buy more Legos when I'm shopping, and she's always telling Mom that I said ok to buy something when they're shopping. :D
