A Custom Castle Idea

[megomaniac]

Here's a quick drawing of a castle idea I had. I wanted a decent castle to display my knights/Robin Hood figures with. My plan was to use foamcore or to actually design rock walls and print them out somehow. And with some minor decal changes to the inside, it would convert from Knight's Castle to Monster Castle!!

I don't have the time to build the thing, but I figured I'd share the idea with the gang in case someone got a wild hair to try it.

hey that's a great idea,If I ever buy the knights I might just try this

You could also walk into a toy store and see if they have one these from Lego, that's what I did



I've done some work already, but still have a long way to go to convert it into a monster castle

SAY!

That's a fantastic pattern for a castle! It'll work quite well, but I don't think you NEED to use foamcore. Foamcore is great, but kind of expensive. You COULD use.... (wait for it).... corrugated cardboard! Run the corrugations up and down, score on the folds and you're good to go.

For a stone pattern, you could print one out and glue it on; or cut out stone shapes from mroe cardboard, glue 'em on and spray the whole thing with that stone texture specle paint. (That's how I did my dungeon.)

That is a nice design, I love castles. This is the one I've made. I've resisted showing anymore Dida stuff until I get confirmation that everything is going to work according to plan (next 2 weeks maybe...) and I'll be able to start selling them. But I can't resist showing this one. I think it's still a work in progress, I have ideas to expand it by adding a tower and adding more details in the artwork, but it's already pretty substantial. The knight statues are based on the round table room in the Knights of the Round table movie that inspired Mego's Knights designs.

Looks good Scott!

Scott,
these Dida Display Sets may be just the thing I need to finish the inside of my castle. Can you design these backdrops to specific sizes or are they just standard sizes?

[MegoScott]

They are standard. 10 inches high, 10x10, 10x13 and 10x10 hinged together, 22 inches wide when in the base.
