And so it begins... Lego castle

Having had the boxed Disney Castle from Lego for over a week, I finally had time to open it and make a start.



So I unpacked everything. The bricks are in numbered bags. So you start with everything in the bags numbered "1". There were four of them!



First to be constructed is the foundations for the floor:





and then the floor itself:



I particular like the sunken floor with the intricate tile pattern smack bang in the middle:



This has taken 1hour and a quarter to get to this stage.

I plan to display the castle on a "Lazy Susan" so I can turn it easily when wanting to look at the rooms at the rear. The foot print for this is some 50 cms diameter for a full turn.

When Ive done more I'll be back.

** Forgot to say - As the floor base is completed I have used 364 bricks! Only another 3,600 or so to go - so I have only used about a tenth!
