The Kingdom of Bacon

I haven't built castle since I was made an admin. It was time.

Those who know me will laugh hysterically about two things:
1) That is NOT a tan castle! (Okay wake up from your faint now!) :wink:
2) That is indeed a STAR WARS flag I used. (Hey...double fainting? I'm going to run out of smelling salts!) :halo:

One picture to tempt you to check out the folder.

The long and the short of this build is: I saw that flag. I got inspired. I had to just make it as fun and silly as I could. SO...enjoy the Kingdom of Bacon. I hope it make you smile, laugh...and potentially get hungry.

My pictures are just pictures. I was too excited to spend the time editing them. Plus...I'm not fond editing.

I have to admit, I did not see this coming :o
Hilarious idea, and use of that flag! The bacon mosaics in the floor are easily recognizable, and I like the bacon lettering you included in the wall.
Great thrones too :)

Glad you enjoyed it! I warned you last night it was going to be funny and unexpected! But it was super fun making it!

Really glad you liked the details.

On the second look, the Fabuland and CMF pigs are another amusing addition :lol:
Looks like the Kingdom has not shortage of pigs to supply their bacon, well fed ones at that!

That is awesome! I am glad someone came to the reality that there should be a bacon kingdom! :) And you portrayed it wonderfully!

Hey Blue,

Awesome use of that flag. Love the carpets as well. You were missing a few Legoverse pigs, so I've added them:

Sorry about the image quality. Snapping a pic with a computer monitor background is pretty bad.

Hahaha! Brilliant! I was too excited to explore more pigs and wait to buy them. Totally epic!

Oh that would be one who was saving up for a Disney Princess Castle of epic proportions!

Perfect idea for that flag ! I guess I better buy some Angry Birds, Minecraft and Toy Story sets to prove my AFOL status now :wink:

A companion kingdom was built...of eggs. Because? Why the heck not? Making people laugh and crave bacon and eggs is awesome.

You're making me hungry, Blue. Hilarious build.

BTW, I've got another pig now. My daughter got the Moana set for Christmas and she has this pig:

We haven't seen the movie yet, but probably will this week.

I will get those sets...they are Disney. I don't have that piggy..yet. But I did buy a ton of eggs from bl from the Angry Birds sets...does that count?

And I'm glad you are getting hungry and laughing! We need some laughs and fun.

The Royal Food Court :roflol:
Hilarious companion to your bacon build, the egg motif is certainly a good choice!
