hi I got a question I already have my castle half way down but I realized that my entrance (which is the gate from the spider mans first chase lego set) is 2x7x8. I m wondering if this is alright for the castle building contest :? . If not I have no problem changing it to a castle doors its just I would have to rebuild it again :( . Oh and I also have a motor inside a tower to give it the effect of dragons flying aroundthe tower but the motor is to fast so hopefully when I change the motor it will be slower 8).I would like your opinion aboutmy castle :wink: . thanks

Even I have a castle going... but it's a little unorthadox. Just got a bit of modifying here and there to do. I'm quite impressed for my FIRST castle in my life. :shock:

OOPS! :shock: I goofed big time. I interpreted the 32X32 as 32 inches by 32 inches, not a 32X32 baseplate hehehe... so my castle is 2 32X32 baseplates, which ironicaly enough, it does split up to fit on those plates. I came accross that when I bought a 32x32 baseplate today hehehe Am I still good, or do I have to shrink it? Cause I love it, it rocks, and I have no more pieces to build another lol What do I do?????????????????? :(

well to stay with the rules , if you want it to be legal to compete for the bragging right of winning then yes , but if you don't really care about winning and its just about having fun for you then just leave it on the 2 plates .

Up to you.

hey sorry to hear that It sounded really cool but I bet you your new one will be as cool and it is like my signature says :wink: . Anyway good luck on finishing it on time :) .
If one of your lego creations falls apart it is another gateway to your imagination of great things.
