It's been a long journey making this but I'm nearly there! Just some more detailing to do and rework a couple of windows to keep the motif on all the edges. Really happy with the landscaping! #LEGO #AFOL #legocastle #LEGOCOMMUNITY

End of book 1! I love how the arches are repeated across the build (and same as in the Market Street tower). Really tied the place together!

Ok I know it's an ad but maybe I'm just surprised I haven't seen @blowdart.me tag @sinclairinat0r.com in it yet. I love they didn't even bother to iron his shirt.
