The Product Idea

Large castles look good on the shelf of every LEGO collector, also every collector had castle themed sets during their childhood, picking this theme for my first design was an obvious choice.

I wanted to design a castle which could be open, to get both the artistic outside of the medieval design, and the play features and easter eggs in the inside. This also provides more options to display the castle.

Thank you for your attention, I am looking forward for your feedback!
