Yellow Castle 375 Tribute

In design school we learned that constraints inspire creativity. If you'd told me to build just any castle, I'd have been stuck. As soon as I decided to build variations on set 375, I had a dozen ideas.

 

This has been a year-long tribute to set 375 by Daniel August Krentz, the first non-Danish fan to end up as a designer at LEGO. Like the original, these are 32x32 studs, open up on the sides, and follow the footprint of three towers and a front and back gate.

 

I displayed this collection at BrickCon this year; the tree-top castle won Best Fantasy. More photos of all the castles:

 

- Undersea Castle

- Ost Gondoron

- Dragons' Castle

- Space Ferry 375

- Yellow Castle Construction

- Ninjago Castle

- Palace of Memory

- Harbor Castle

- Desert Castle

 

Hope you've enjoyed them!
