Now you too can be a castle master builder. This Kingdom’s Modular Castle Creator set allows you to very quickly build a large variety of different castles by simply rearranging the 4x8 and 8x8 modules in any configuration you can dream up. You no longer have to spend weeks or months to build the castle of your dreams. Instead it only takes minutes. Imagine, picking up a tower and moving it to where you want it be With this real modular set, you can easily do that and much more. https://ideas.lego.com/projects/148797 2 Kingdoms Castle Creator by Michael Kalkwarf, on Flickr This set can build more than just the 5 castles shown above. This set includes instructions and bricks for 18 universally interchangeable modules. Then, as a creator set, it has additional instructions for 13 more modules that you can build from the same included pieces or use some of your own pieces to make extra modules. You can mix and match the original modules and the creator modules to build an increasing variety of castles. Unlike other creator sets where you must tear down the entire build for something new, you need only tear apart the module you do not need and build the module or two that you want for your new layout. 1 Kingdoms Modular Castle Creator by Michael Kalkwarf, on Flickr You could also sign up for the module of the month club and automatically be sent a new exclusive module each month. These could be themed rooms like a kitchen, armory or wizards tower, or even stairs, and doors. Each new module would then exponentially increase the style of castle you can build. Each new castle design will inspire the mind to buy another set in order to make a fortress, wall or tower just one story taller. 5 Modular Castle Creator by Michael Kalkwarf, on Flickr 3 Kingdoms Castle Creator by Michael Kalkwarf, on Flickr Each module meets a design standard to ensure all modules fit securely together with any other module. They are designed with large spaces for staging minifigs inside the modules as well as on the battlements. Regardless of how you stack or connect the modules, all the floors on a story are level with each other. You can find a video demonstration of how this modular system works at 12 Kingdoms Modular Castle by Michael Kalkwarf, on Flickr You can also see a video demonstration of how this system works Room / Wall Modules – Used to build walls, mazes of rooms, an enclosed fortress or tall towers. They can be stacked top to bottom or connected side by side, in a line or even a cluster using the included Lego Technic pins. You can also connect them off set by half a module to make a staggered wall, series of terraces or a pyramid. 14 Creator Modular Castle by Michael Kalkwarf, on Flickr Top Room Modules – Have connections for the other modules on all six sides. This allows you to build out your castle in 3 dimensions instead of being limited to a wall or tower The main difference between the 5 configurations is the count and location of the walls or open sides. 16 Modular Castle Battlements by Michael Kalkwarf, on Flickr Battlement Modules - Are placed on top of the room, bridge or balcony modules to provide a large stable play surface. There are 6 different 4x8 or half battlement modules that are included with the set. 17 Lego Creator Castle by Michael Kalkwarf, on Flickr Balcony Modules - Clip into the side of a room or bridge module using two Lego technic pins to create space for additional room modules or more battlements. There are 2 variations included in the set, both a half (4x8) and a whole (8x8) balcony module. Balconies can extend the area of your castle beyond the outside wall as if hanging in the air. Placing 2 balconies end to end can create an open archway two modules across. 4 Kingdoms Modular Castle Creator by Michael Kalkwarf, on Flickr 18 Lego ideas Castle by Michael Kalkwarf, on Flickr Bridge Modules – Connect to rooms, balconies and other bridges to create more play space, battlements or open archways between rooms. You can place room or battlement modules on top of a bridge. This allows you to connect towers by sky bridges or create floor space between modules. Both the whole and half bridges are included in the set. 19 Kalkwarf Castle by Michael Kalkwarf, on Flickr One Piece Curved Balconies – A hybrid of a balcony and battlement module that are a single piece. They clip into the set of Lego Technic pin holes on a room or bridge module creating a small semi-circular place for minifigs, The railing version is perfect for the top level of tower. 20 Brickcon Castle by Michael Kalkwarf, on Flickr Topper Modules – are placed on top of any room, bridge or balcony to create a decorative top to the highest level of a wall or tower. This set comes with a decorative height extender that is half the height of a room module and 2 different 8x8 battlement modules that can be used for a watch tower. There is also a roof module to dress up your tallest tower, which is also be available in pink or purple to appeal to female builders, quickly converting the king’s castle into one fit for a princess. 15 Lego Fortress by Michael Kalkwarf, on Flickr Lower Room Modules – Typically used to form the lower level of a castle. They have decorative support buttress on the front wall with large open arches in the back. 20a Kingdoms Creator Castle by Michael Kalkwarf, on Flickr Here are some example of larger castles that you can quickly build using this system Keep Modular Lego Castle by Michael Kalkwarf, on Flickr Tower Modular Lego Castle by Michael Kalkwarf, on Flickr Lego Modular Castle 2 towers by Michael Kalkwarf, on Flickr Lego Modular castle all 1 by Michael Kalkwarf, on Flickr modular lego castle tower 1 by Michael Kalkwarf, on Flickr Here are some examples of smaller castles you can build wit this system Modular Castle Two Towers by Michael Kalkwarf, on Flickr Kingdoms Castle Creator by Michael Kalkwarf, on Flickr Modular Castle Central Tower by Michael Kalkwarf, on Flickr

Please vote for this modular castle on Lego Ideas Thank you for taking the time to look at this system. Please vote for it on Lego Ideas Thank you for seeing the value in this approach and not being distracted by the poor presentation. Please tell your friends about this system. yes. That is the ideas. instead of limiting castles to the elite few who can build them from scratch. We now have a way that everybody. Including the kids who will actually play with ii can have a cool castle. A Lego castle is not just for mater builders anymore.

lego Modular Castle by Michael Kalkwarf, on Flickr This castle is built from small modular pieces that are 4x8 a 8x8 studs. This system was designed to allow even young builders to quickly and easily build, enjoy and then put away the castle they wanted to have that day. This is the Kingdoms Lego Modular Castles System. Please let Lego know you would like to see this as a set by voting for it at https://ideas.lego.com/projects/116214 Lego Modular Castle bottom Modules by Michael Kalkwarf, on Flickr Here are the basic room or wall module. They can be stacked to make a tower or connected to make a wall. Lego Modular Castle balconies and bridges by Michael Kalkwarf, on Flickr These are the balcony and bridge modules.They hang off the rooms using Lego Technic Pins Lego Modular Castle Half Battlement modules by Michael Kalkwarf, on Flickr These are the battlement Modules that click into place on top of a room or balcony module. You can quickly and easily make a new and different castle by connecting the modules in endless combinations.. Lego Modular Castle h by Michael Kalkwarf, on Flickr Here is picture of some modules laid out and below that a picture of the basic castle made using those modules. Lego Modular Castle i by Michael Kalkwarf, on Flickr Now we will add some towers. The modules are again laid out in front Lego Modular Castle j by Michael Kalkwarf, on Flickr Now we have towers.

I really like your ideas of the creator set for 3 medieval buildings. I would vote for that on ideas.

Very nice.

Wow, I used to feel proud of my recent castle project. This blows my mind. Your photography and movie making abilities really help show off the amazing work you put into this creation.

Thanks for the comment and the vote on Lego Ideas. I did see a castle like modular building on Ebay but it was for the instructions only and a Brkicklink XML file to help you buy all the parts. I think it was an opera house or museum or something but it did look like a castle building and I believe it worked with the modular building standard. I saw it when I was looking at images after I searched for Lego Modular Castles. I was trying to see what else was out there. Glad to hear that this inspired you. I do to. I am wanting to build a tall tower out of the modules this Sunday. I am VERY new to Eurobrcks I did not see how to Quote like you did. I tried but don't think it worked. Can you please tell me?

Here is a suggestion for the next castle set Lego could build. It is a modular castle system. This first small castle you see was built from my modular castle system. This modular castle system based on 4x8 and 8x8 modules. They are designed to connect in all 3 dimensions so you can build walls, towers, keeps and fortresses. The example below was built using the easily interchangeable modules in about a Minute. The modules themselves are constructed from standard Lego parts. Modular Castle Two Towers by Michael Kalkwarf, on Flickr Here is an example of a larger castle that you could build using this modular system. Something close to this version was displayed at Brickcon 2015. Lego modular castle 16 by Michael Kalkwarf, on Flickr Here is a picture of the room modules. These can be used to create castle walls, towers or a maze of rooms. They connect to each other using a pair of Lego Technic pins on each side of the module. These are located near the top of the module. Other modules, the balcony and bridge modules also make use of theses sets of pins to hang off the side of the rooms to create more surface area for additional modules to be placed. The top of the room modules has 4 raised flat round tiles, one at each corner and four exposed studs to help secure modules placed on top. These room modules can be stacked directly on top of one another to build a tower as tall as you wish. They can also be placed on top of each other offset by half a module which could create additional space on either side for a 4x8 battlement module. [Herurl=https://flic.kr/p/AfPp6R]Lego Modular Castle room modules[/url] by Michael Kalkwarf, on Flickr Here are various versions of the half or 4x8 battlement modules. They clip into the top of any room, balcony or bridge module using the same system of 4 raised tiles and 4 exposed studs. These allow you to create a play space on top of any of the other modules. It also allows you to have battlements on both sides of a wall. Lego Modular Castle Half Battlement modules by Michael Kalkwarf, on Flickr The modules below are the bridge and balcony modules. They each come in half, 4x8 and whole 8x8. These connect to the room modules using the pair of Lego Technic Pins. Once connected, these modules use the same system of 4 flat tiles and 4 exposed studs to make placing another room or battlement module on top possible. They are designed to maintain the same floor height of the module they are attached to. This ensures a standard height for each floor making it easy to connect and have a flat battlement area all around your fortress without the need for steps. The bridges have a set of pins on each 8 stud side allowing you to bridge a gap between rooms or walls leaving a decorative archway in between. This can give the effect of a room suspended with nothing beneath it The balconies only have a set of pins on one side. This can create a new space to place a room or battlement that extends out from the side of the module it is attached to. Lining up the balconies with the large arched doorways creates passageways to the battlements. Lego Modular Castle balconies and bridges by Michael Kalkwarf, on Flickr To see a video demonstration of this system go to Here we have a front and back view of a hybrid of the balcony and battlement modules. They also use the pair of Lego Technic pins to clip into the corresponding pair of pin holes on any room or bridge module below where you want the balcony to hang. These match the floor level of the module above to allow a decorative balcony or curved battlement without a difference in the floor height. Lego Modular Castle curved battlement and balcony by Michael Kalkwarf, on Flickr If you want to top off a tower with a decorative roof instead of a battlement, the roof and height extender module go together well. Lego Modular Castle roof and extender by Michael Kalkwarf, on Flickr Next is a view of the bottom room modules. Here is a front and back look at 3 different versions. The one in the center is a corner piece. Typically these bottom room modules are used to form the bottom level of your castle. These modules also have the Lego Technic Pin holes that allow you to connect any two modules together or hang balconies and battlement out from the wall. Lego Modular Castle bottom Modules by Michael Kalkwarf, on Flickr Below are 2 different whole or 8x8 battlement modules. These can be placed on top of any room module, bridge or balcony. The one with 4 sides is typically used to make the top of a watch tower. While the one with 2 sides can be used to connect the doorways of 2 rooms or towers that are diagonal to each other. Lego Modular Castle whle Battlement Modules by Michael Kalkwarf, on Flickr Here are a couple examples of some smaller castles built with this system. I also have a few more modules that I did not include in this post. The modules go together quickly and easily and do not break when pulled apart to move them. The more modules you have the larger and more intricate castle you can build. The possibilities are endless. Modular Lego Castle two watchtowers by Michael Kalkwarf, on Flickr Modular Castle Central Tower by Michael Kalkwarf, on Flickr If you are interested in seeing more castles built from this system as well as a demonstration of how the modules connect to each other. There are more pictures on MocPages and Flickr. http://www.mocpages.com/mocs.php?id=120740 https://www.flickr.com/photos/michaelkalkwarf/albums To see a demonstration of how these modules go together or to see a small castle being assembled, please go to my YouTube Channel. There is also a stop motion of a castle morphing into over 100 different configurations by moving the modules around. I have submitted this modular Lego castle system to Lego Ideas as the Kingdoms Modular Castle. If you like this system, please vote for it. https://ideas.lego.com/projects/116214

Oops, Sorry about posting in the wrong area. I am very new to Eurobricks and trying to find my way around. Thanks for the compliment. What is the GoH project?

Vassal Thanks for the encouraging comment. I also hope the make it set. Please tell Lego to make it a set by supporting / voting for it at https://ideas.lego.com/projects/116214
