The kingdom had long awaited the king’s return. As
he rode through the gates, the people cheered, their hope rekindled.

Hello,
my name is Laszlo Torma and I love LEGO,
it is one of my hobbies. I prefer minifigure scale and I design
usually but not exclusively Speed Champions style car models. My
LEGO nick name is TLG which is the abbrevation of
my full name (in Hungarian order).
I love castles as well and therefore I decided to design
one to Bricklink Designer Program series 5. It is not actually based
on a real building, but was inspired by some famous castles. It is a
grandiose build, made unique by its many Gothic and Romanesque
windows and round bastions.
It includes many details such as flags,
coat or arms, arcades, a brick built gate, plants and even a brick
built tree. The building is foldable and in the
opened version the rooms and halls are visible. There is a throne
hall, a dining hall with a statue, a basement, a kitchen with a
masonry oven. All doors work and some walls of the tower house are
openable as well to make accessible the king's bedroom, the
staircase with the treasure chest and the prison.
The set includes 11 minifigures
(including the statue) and some animals which provide many
playability options.
It is built from almost 4000 bricks to make it
large and detailed. Unfortunately some parts were
not available in the palette (including a minifigure king crown or a
saddle), but I am still really satisfied with the result.
I hope you enjoy the castle. Many thanks
for your support and feedback!
All the best,
Laszlo Torma
