[MOC] Royal Nest - BDP10

[_TLG_]

Hello,

and welcome to the Royal Nest! For Bricklink Designer Program Series 10, I’ve reworked the interior to be more spacious and logical, added an extra cave, more windows, and fresh renders to show it all off. You can support it 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 (though the one at the top of the staircase is blind).

The set includes 9 minifigures (8 characters and 1 skeleton) and some animals, including a horse, offering plenty of play opportunities.

Notable changes from Series 9:

• A more spacious interior at the main door
• Additional cave under the dining hall
• More logical staircase arrangement
• Cleaner and more detailed main entrance under the half-timbered house
• Additional skeleton and dog for more 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

The set is not actually based on a real building, but was inspired by some famous castles. I prefer the brick-built solutions to keep the flexibility of the used parts in further builds, so no stickers are used.

Thanks for visiting,
