How 2 build a Giant Castle?

[Cyberbricker]

Hello Eurobrickers,

Lately I feel the need to get my old castle sets from the attic and I have also started on building a Giant Castle, something I always wanted to do.

Since I was very young when I collected Castle sets, I didn't get a chance to build up a nice army, I have maybe 20 Lions figures and 10 Dragon masters, some Black Falcons and Crusaders 2, but just a handful.

Now my 2 Question is:

1. Of all the factions that are out there, which one should I get to build my army with?

2. What building technique should I use for my Castle? (In the picture you can see some of the building that I made in LDD that will be part of the Castle.)

Should I use the 2 on 2 technique or just go wild and use all kind of bricks like in the buildings?

Looks like you have a good start with these drawings

best way to army build for now is to buy those Kingdoms Chess sets you buy 3 and you pretty much have a great ''army''

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, but I wasn't sure. I prefer the Kingdoms sets myself, but I also love the Black Falcons...

Easiest/cheapest army building is one of the current factions or kingdoms chess. But I like black falcon too. The downside is they will not be cheap. Certainly doable though, just take more money. I always liked the black knights even though they never had their own torso insignia. But it'd be easier for me to army build them.

Just go wild and use all the types. Its good to see variety.

I really like the new dragon knights super cheap and easy to collect. Crown knights are the best of all time IMO. Reaserch historical castles and try to make one in a realistic scale. NO ONE builds in minifig perfect scale just about. Im working on a minifig-perfect scale Rochester castle in Kent england. It will be ready for brick fair in alabama in 2 weeks.
