Thanks guys!

Thanks! LOL! You're right! I think I will take a little break , but there is much to build

Thx!

Thx! Well basically I printed the map below and extrapolated to lego minifig scale. I also found some real-life measurements especially from the gallery and the rest was eyeballing. I had a lot of good reference photos as well which helped.

I'll have better pictures in due time. These are not very good quality. Regards!!

Hi All, I have been working (actually for about 1 year) on a minifig-scale replica of the Castle of Chenonceauin the Loire Valey. I visited the Castle in 2005 and have very fond memories from that trip, so decided to make it a rendition in Lego. I will be presenting it at Brickfiesta. I will post more detailed/professional pictures after the event. I still have to do part of the main bridge at the entrance an the Tower (Tours des Marques), but that will be for a later stage. As it stands right now on it's widest side (Keep) it measures 30 inches (3x3 baseplates) and the "Gallery" portion sits on 6 baseplates long. Total lenght 90 in (9 baseplates). Comments/critics/suggestions welcome! Here's the WIP set Cheers! Chris

Ok if I'd get it discounted. Otherwise too expensive!

I'd have to go with the Giant Chess set or the Medieval Market village...
