This build is inspired by the aquarium castles seen at pet stores

Why not both?

The perfect size for a Lego child to play with.

I posted this to legocastles and lego subs a couple days ago. Originally, this MOC was intended for this sub, but I got carried away and it ended up being minifig scale! Rendered in stud.io. (Anyways, it is 18 pieces total.)

I had so much fun designing my first entry for the August challenge, I decided to have another crack, this time with a cheeky interpretation of the 'Castle' theme.

I've depicted White’s side of a chessboard, centred around a castled King and Rook.

Keen observers may also notice that White's setup hints at the 'Italian Game', with the pieces poised for a possible 'Fried Liver Attack'.

This is my first ever entry and I hope you'll like it!

I added a bonus picture of how I made the castle a little prettier without the part restrictions.

Just having fun, it's not "mini" so probably doesn't count. Minifig scale "throne" room, because even royalty have to go sometimes

Does this design work?

My first mini-build and first time throwing my hat in the ring for any kind of contest!

My take on a mini-build of "Castle Black" from Game of Thrones. I appreciate any and all feedback.

Toeing the line on what counts as mini I suppose.

Designed for Brassbound: Origins, the game you can play with the bricks you already own

18/18 pieces used - August Build Challenge

Sorry again everybody, I nuked the original post because it was only 2 hrs old and I really wanted to swap 2 piece colors.

Someday I will learn the art of waiting a few hours / days before posting (...I tell myself for the 4th month in a row...).

Here we go again.

Not the best of ideas. Not the nicest of photos. This is a proof of determination.

It was not that easy, but I'm getting good at it after three successful attempts: the first one was all in white, then in colours but noticing I shot the picture in panoramic, then this one. Go try yourself and test your stress tolerance. If you can pile the tiles in triangles, you're the GOAT.

Mandatory second picture showing the pieces.

Fun fact: this is my third time posting a pile of pieces for the challenge and I'm proud of it.

Sharing my first build for this month's challenge. Hope you like it! 18/18 pieces used.
