Swallow's Nest Castle

I had so much fun with Neuschwanstein Castle last year that I decided to try another micro castle for this year's Summer Joust. This one's inspired by Swallow's Nest on the Crimea. And yes, for everyone who likes to point out that these castles were not built during the medieval time period: no they were not. LEGO wasn't invented then either XD Anyways, I take the actual castles as a pretty loose starting point. I introduced some more contrasting colors on this one. and took some liberties with the size of the rock. Speaking of rock, that is pure insanity going on inside!

 

My expanding collection of microscale castles will again be on display at The Ultimate Brick Show in Marion, IL next week--come say hi!
