Very cool, left positive rating on the pic.
I have been collecting Lego sets for years; the largest castle I made was over 12,000 pieces and spanned three feet by four feet. That includes a moat, working drawbridge and large courtyard. Every time I say I am done with it, I get an idea for something else to add on to it.
Have you ever bought bricks online? I only ask because I use Baylit (Bricks As You Like Them) when I need arches and elements from older sets that they don't make any more. The owner sells nothing but pieces and the prices are very reasonable. He's one of the reasons I stuck with my castle theme so long LOL.

I just found Baylit the other day. Have you been to www.bricklink.com They also sell lego brick parts. And www.brickshelf.com is a good place to display pictures of your lego creations. I am also upload my lego pictures in 'legos' on mylot. I started buying legos for my kids in 1990 and now they are adults and actually buy me legos once in awhile! LOL I also have a Wild West, Pirates, Adventurer and City collections

Wow, your lego castle is so wonderful. You are very creative and talented. I wish I could be that creative but I can not. Keep up the excellent work!

I think your castle is awesome! You should be very proud of it. Do you have any children? You are very creative. My brother in law took my nieces existing bed frame and glued leogos onto it in pastel colors to make her a little fairy castle and she loves it. I hope you use sturdy glue for your castle so that it will last a long time but then if you do and get tired of it then you could always sell it. Just make sure to glue it into sections just in case.. I tink you could sell it is you chose too.

Thank you for the compliment. I do have 2 kids. My daughter is 27 and my son is 22. I started in Legos in 1990 when I bought a castle set for my daughter and son. When my kids got older they quit playing with Legos but I kept on. You can see more of my Lego displays by visiting www.brickshelf.com and do a people search for gberlin. I am currently setting up a western Lego display at the school where I teach. When I am finished I will post pictures to brickshelf.

That is a really nice village and castle. The school children probably couldn't wait from day to day as you put the pages up. It is pretty obvious that you love to be around kids. Only someone who has connected with kids would understand that this is fascinating for children. Did any of the kids ask you how you built the castle and village? Did any of them watch as you built them or did you build it at home and bring them in? My grandson loves to build with Lego's and he is very creative. He is 9 years old. I am going to show him the pictures of the castle by itself and the castle and village that are pictured in the school. He will love the pictures.

Yes, several students asked me how I built the castle and the village. What is more amazing is that the students I teach are high school students. I have put up several displays over the last 6 years and I first did it because I like doing it. I found out though that the high school students enjoyed it as much as I did, especially when I started adding stories to the display. I have not done one yet this year but the students are really wanting one so over spring break I think I will build a display. I build the different items at home and then set it up in the display case.

Thank you for the compliment. It is mostly done by trial and error. Although I have built enough of them to eliminate some of the error. To see more pictures of legos that I have done visit
