The Castle
The Castle
At the end of 2020, the Hermitage launched a building competition for "mighty castles, knightly scenes, and fantasy figures," to encourage everyone to enjoy building and create a beautiful exhibition during the Covid pandemic. I chose a castle.
The entire build is finished in black with a red and yellow trim and four towers each with its own black guard.
The walls of the upper floors are constructed from a double row of bricks: the outside is stone gray and the inside has a different color wallpaper.
The carriage, 5 wide, and with a chassis made of 'bars' to sit as close as possible to a real carriage.
Some photos of the castle under construction. The angle chosen to create some tension in the setup.
And what remains when the castle is taken apart and sorted...?
