I decided to take some rest from large MOCs and do something small. I also wanted to do something for my son because my last MOCs were not too much playable.
So this time I did something not for Exhibitions. Small playable castle in assuming toy for a boy at the age of 8-12 years. I tried to fit on a small area (1 base plate 32x32) as many as possible of playable elements. More than one base unit plate for child fun does not have too much sense since the castle must be reasonably mobile.
The castle also refers to my first MOC of the prior three years and is prepared to expand with new modules if I ever want.
As I said in the near future I do not plan to take this castle to any exhibition. It will remain in my son’s room until he gets tired of it :D.
Some statistics:
- Lowered gate
- 5 opening door
- 3 opened the hatch of the towers
- 7 opening walls
- 5 secret passages inside the castle (ie. Allowing escape from prison)
- 2 traps, where the road ends in jail
- stairs or ladder access to any place in the castle
- A removable roof
Two defense towers, prison with two cells, knights room, an armory, a lieutenant room, a room of magician.
It was hard to take the pictures inside. Here is one good exeption - the prison.
My inspiration. My first ever MOC after the dark age:
