[MOC] Royal Nest

[_TLG_]

Hello,

and welcome to the Royal Nest! A new castle for the new griffin faction which was designed for Bricklink Designer Program Series 9. You can support my submissions by voting and commenting:

The round bastions, the decorated main gate, Gothic windows, the yellow half-timbered house, the plants, and many other details make this castle a worthy home for the king of the griffin faction. It can be displayed either closed or in multiple open formats, and in the open configurations, the interior becomes accessible. It includes a throne room, the king's bedroom, an attic with a treasure chest, a dining hall, a kitchen with a masonry oven, a blacksmith's forge with an anvil, a prison in the basement, and servants' quarters. All the doors are functional.

The set includes 8 minifigures and some animals including one horse which provide many playability options.

Dimensions of the castle (closed):
Width: 51.2 studs / 16.1 in / 40.9 cm
Length: 51.9 studs / 16.4 in / 41.5 cm
Height: 55.2 studs / 17.4 in / 44.1 cm

I hope you enjoy this set. Many thanks for your support and feedback!

Thanks for visiting,
_TLG_

Wonderful! My favourite parts have to be the rounded towers, the tudor wall, and the gate.

One question though: why no saddle?

@InspectorShinyGrape Thank you so much, I am really glad you like it! The referred details were my initial ideas and the starting point of the building process :) Unfortunately saddles are not available in the parts list of the current BDP Series. (Maybe the legs could have been hided by a shield, but I hadn't enough time for a new render.)
