Lego Cliff-Side Castles

Good morning Everyone!

 

New build here....quite a bit different though.  

Some time ago I had made a post about “Lego Walls” but it really did not get much traffic. 

Show us your Lego Walls - Special LEGO Themes - Eurobricks Forums

Anyways, I would like to do several of the walls in my Lego room something like a decorated wall with Lego.  With nooks, crannies, and other types of goodies inside. 

I have already done one such wall project, which was really expensive and time-consuming.  But FUN! 

Anyways, here is a second project.  Much smaller, and certainly not covering the whole wall, but still some 4-5,000 pieces.  Built in modular fashion, and as can be seen in the video, with “Kingdoms” built inside.  With lights.

The video gives details of how it was done.  Pretty self-explanatory, and there are clips of each different module.  I used Technic 1x2 bricks with screws through the center to hang the model, then hid those bricks (and their screws) behind other bricks.  Then used Technic bricks of various lengths, and pin with connector pieces for easy removal.  Yes, the whole thing is relatively easy to take down.  It is not fixed to the wall with tape or anything. 

Below are some stills of the different modules, and the video shows them in greater detail.  I only show the front because the backs are made from a variety of different colors and it looks horrible, but it is an efficient way to build (no one will see the back).  Lights are added for special effect and look great at night.  Have to say the pics don’t really do it justice.

The most difficult thing I think was threading the light wires through everything and trying to hang at the same time.  But wonderful effect. 

Hope you enjoy!

This is such a neat idea. I like the concept of incorporating LEGO bricks into the everyday structure/decoration of your home. I can imagine this is very pretty in a darkened room.

This blew me away, this is a master-class space optimization concept that allows you to make a very unique display. This is a brilliant idea, and your execution of it is fantastic. I'm on a bit of Minecraft kick and this'd be perfect for a cave system.

Yes.   Does look good in a darkened room.  Ill post a pic.  ALso, I agree with your comment about incorporating LEGO in the  structure/decoration of one's home.  I am actually surprised there is not more talk/posts about this.  As mentioned in this thread, I had made a post a while ago Lego Walls and gave some examples I had found, but not really much discussion ensued.   I love this idea, and as can be seen on my YT page I now have several projects incorporated into my room. I am sure I will be doing more.

Great concept for spicing up the walls.

Awesome idea! The lighting makes it even better. Thanks for showing how you mounted it in the video.

Thank you for the kind words.  With this new home we don't plan on moving any time soon so I am really doing with my Lego room what I want.  I have many projects in the room so far that are using the walls as part of how I display Lego.
