The Armory: Put in by my eldest son
I told the kids I would build them a Lego castle. The goal was playability and not display. I have never tried anything quite so ambitious. I tried to limit myself to the Lego on hand but ultimately had to get some Pick-a-Brick and Ebay additions. Despite that the castle uses three colors of gray and a mishmash of styles. I tried to build in ways I had never built before. Some of it works; some of it doesn't.
My daughter built the Queen's garden and the feast on the top of the Keep. My eldest son built the armory. The older twin boy built the Queen's throne and came up with the idea of lining the Queen's tower with shields.
The Keep is three levels. The top (patio) pulls off. Then one can pull off the next level (the armory) to see the Throne room at ground level.
It was a group effort with lots of input by all four kids. They wanted me to take some pictures and put it online so here it is. Now they get to build the village!
