CASTLE OF MOR'DU

I built this to simulate what a real Castle looks like today.  A lot of Castles are now in ruins (except for those that have been restored to their former glory or have just been kept well through the ages).  I decided that I would make Mor'du's Castle from Disney Pixar's Brave because it looks like those ruins of Castles.

Here is a full view of the Castle.

Ancient stone pillars announce the entrance to the old crumbling Castle.

The gateway was a tricky build, but  it was fun nonetheless.

The weather-beaten side of things.

Inside the courtyard the rubble from a past war piles up and crumbles into dust.

This is the tower.

This is the wall.

There are some bones of Mor'du's long-since slain enemies.

There's more!!!

Here is the throne room of Mor'du.

Here are some bones of more long-since slain enemies.

The crumbling thrones stand in their places.

Here is a picture of the whole throne room.

The Lighthouse of Alexandria

 This is my miniature LEGO® model of the Lighthouse of Alexandria.

 The Lighthouse (also known as the Pharos) was the first ever skyscraper standing between 393 and 450 feet tall.  This wonder of the ancient world was a very great architectural feat.

Its building was issued by Alexander the Great because Alexandria was a ginormous port for trade so Alexander had it built to light the way of merchants and travelers.

Scroll down really fast now.

Okay, your good.

Here is the back.

It's nighttime now.

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon

A small model of one of the first wonders of the ancient world.

In Babylon there was a great king whose name was Nebuchadnezzar II.  He built this ancient wonder for his wife Amytis of Media as a gift because she missed the beautiful landscape of her homeland.

It was built out of bricks and was a huge innovation for the ancient world, with running waterfalls flowing down the sides of the structure.

How was it possible for the plants to say alive on bricks?  Well, the bricks were mud: shaped to perfection and dried in the sun, and also the plants were irrigated with a complex water system.

This truly must have been a magnificent sight to behold.

To show the size of my model, here is the height comparison with a LEGO® Beorn™ minifigure.
