Mythos Posted July 27, 2011 Well my husband noticed he had a few yellow 2 x 4 bricks so he decided to see if he could build a big yellow castle out of them, here he is working on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoboman Posted July 27, 2011 Big yellow castle is right. That is going to be fun to see what you end up with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mythos Posted July 27, 2011 Couple more updated pics, he says the wall walkway will be 12 bricks high and the wall will be 6 studs wide: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skipper Posted July 27, 2011 That's a lot of yellow! Looking forward to more updates. If I may suggest one thing, I think it has a bit of BYW Syndrome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mythos Posted July 28, 2011 Well this is what he has done for now since he still needs parts he does not have so hes going to have to wait till pay day or some of our stuff sells before he can order the parts he still needs, but you can see how much is done here: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheLegoDr Posted July 28, 2011 Will this castle be functional? It looks huge! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Artifex Posted July 28, 2011 Wow! This is one HUGE castle! I like the measures -- from the many baseplates to the walls and stairs. Please keep the pics coming! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edmond Dantes Posted July 28, 2011 BYW syndrome ? he also says he'll add some color towards the top too. BYW = Big Yellow Wall I believe. That is, a monochromatic wall, no variation, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mythos Posted July 28, 2011 Will this castle be functional? It looks huge! Functional ? not sure what you mean by that, he will be putting buildings inside and building a stables and farm outside of it, and building some scenery, hes not sure yet how high he'll place the castle above plains level or such yet.

Mythos Posted July 31, 2011 well hes got some more of it done, hes just now waiting on another order to finish the towers up and then the wall will be done, but he is curious if people think he should do one of the following: (ignore the red tiles on the towers) leave just the red tiles on the wall caps put red tiles between the wall caps also remove the red tiles from the wall caps.

Hoboman Posted July 31, 2011 So it looks like the walls are mostly done, now on to what is going inside the walls. Can't wait to see what you have in store for the buildings inside. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I meant as in to scale for minifig use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mythos Posted August 2, 2011 I meant as in to scale for minifig use. Very much so in fact if you look at some of the pics he put a minifig on one of the walls to give an idea of size if the 4x4 square of 32x32 baseplates doesn't help. he said this will one of his med. size outpost forts.
