Construct tiny replicas of real historical castles, recreate the models in this idea book, or use the ideas in this book to create your own rendition of a castle or kingdom. Featured in this book are overviews of different types of castles, the different parts of a castle structure, and illustrated instructions on how to craft the individual castle pieces. The castle, for the sake of instructions, is divided into the following sections: wall, towers, gate, drawbridge, gatehouse, keep, tower defense, castle, and more. Included is some history behind parts of the castle, how they were made, and who made them. Order the specific pieces you would like for your project, or get creative with the bricks you already have. There are no rules for how you build your kingdom, and no LEGO® pieces provided with the book. 187 pgs, hc.
