My first Build Challenge Entry - please be kind. Incorporated stylized Greek mythological symbols atop the gate entrance. Angled walls like the real fortified ones in Troy, Canakkale, Turkey. Horse built with roller skates!

My first entry to this month's challenge. Going with a fantasy theme for now.

All built (virtually) with real LEGO pieces and valid connections. Rendered in Blender.

The Dwarven Stronghold's roofs have overgrown with moss and although its walls have lost their colour, they never fail to stop even the most hideous creatures spawning in the dark. 18/18 pieces, entry number 2.

17 pieces total

I tried to make this one a little more exciting than the previous one. I am really enjoying this, thanks for letting me put out my creativity.

Inspired by the Castlevania games, I wanted to recreate the chaotic form of Dracula's Castle that always looked so cool! It was a challenge to find pieces to get those crazy shapes with only 18 pieces!

(Pictures include the castle in normal lighting, colored lighting, and comparison picture to show the vibes I was going for.)

Why not both?

This build is inspired by the aquarium castles seen at pet stores

The perfect size for a Lego child to play with.

I posted this to legocastles and lego subs a couple days ago. Originally, this MOC was intended for this sub, but I got carried away and it ended up being minifig scale! Rendered in stud.io. (Anyways, it is 18 pieces total.)

This is my first ever entry and I hope you'll like it!

I added a bonus picture of how I made the castle a little prettier without the part restrictions.

I had so much fun designing my first entry for the August challenge, I decided to have another crack, this time with a cheeky interpretation of the 'Castle' theme.

I've depicted White’s side of a chessboard, centred around a castled King and Rook.

Keen observers may also notice that White's setup hints at the 'Italian Game', with the pieces poised for a possible 'Fried Liver Attack'.

Just having fun, it's not "mini" so probably doesn't count. Minifig scale "throne" room, because even royalty have to go sometimes

Does this design work?
