The goal , build a great castle !
------------Rules----------
You will have 2 months to build.
Castle must be on a 32 x 32 or a footprint equal to that if you don’t have a baseplate. Over hangs are allowed as well as drawbridges but the base plates must be the square 32x32.
Minifig scale
Must have a 4 x 2 x 6 high stud entrance on an edge of the baseplate somewhere. This represents the entrance to your castle so minifigs can come and go. 4 studs wide , 2 studs deep and 6 studs high , in case you want to have clearance issues ( aka a Cave , rock over hangs , doorways) Once the path is 2 studs in you can do whatever you want , rope bridges , curved stairs , steeping stones. Also this entrance can be at any height on the castle as long as the side it is one is a sheer face
Hope that helps Now the judging of the castles will be the same as for the microship, A ranking system from 1 to X , X being the number of entries . Once tallied, the lowest score wins
When judging people will be looking for the following
Overall impression
Color Scheming
Durability
Playability
Other rules , must not be taller then 3 feet , can’t weight more then 15 pounds ( these are to limit people with large collections from having an unfair advantage over people with smaller collections.
You are not limited to European castles either , Japanese , Chinese , Arabic , Nordic , Mayan are all open too . so be creative .
If you don’t know where to begin , look on brickshelf and mocpages for ideas.
Happy building , also if you have ideas or suggestions for this competition please post them
