“I was trying to be more historically grounded”… Pans immediately to dragon on the roof 🤣 Sweet build 🤙

[@kendrickparks9129]

How do we know its not a statue or a gargoyle of that dragons as a sigil of its kingdom?

[@vrchillbuilds]

thats what he says to get the sweet Beyond The Brick interview.

[@Keithymac1]

The dragon is one thing but didn't corn come from the americas a bit later on.

The castle is amazing, but the landscaping with the bridge and watermill is my favorite part. Such a cool build!

[@Wi-Fi-El]

I like the pine trees in particular. One of the most realistic trees I've seen in Lego

[@Nphen]

The way the water in the river is done is amazing. Not only are there proper river banks, with the water level below the landscape, but the blue transparent tiles which allow a murky view to the landscape below is so amazing. It's like you're looking into a real shallow stream!

[@cloudcleaver23]

I can feel Shadiversity's glee from here.

[@sir.gawain7136]

Indeed.

[@jackb0nes13]

exactly what I was thinking

[@Mjolnir007]

Machicolations !!!

@@Mjolnir007 beat me by a day haha xD

[@tristemsaris7739]

@@arturarruda8151 yeah me too, still I do believe we can assume this would get Shads official seal of approval

[@azerty1933]

The build is amazing Just one thing to be fully accurate, corn wasn't introduced in Europe until 1493 as it's a native American plant. In the middle what was cultivated was mostly rye and wheat one year, the second year barley and oats, during the third year nothing was cultivated to let the soil recover

[@ThunderHowlbradford]

Medieval times ended with the 13th century Renaissance but the spyglass was invented 1608. And a massive list of other inaccuracies

[@ThunderHowlbradford]

Also ice-cream, was invented in WWI And sugar was from the Americas

[@robertbuth]

So I guess this build was set in the year 1494 then.lol

[@NP-zt6hy]

Maybe it's from the Princess Bride Universe? Australia and the Americas (if you read the book) are mentioned, but no guns and cannons to replace the need for castles.

[@ThunderHowlbradford]

@@NP-zt6hy he states Europe ffs. Did you even watch it. Come back when you learn to pay attention

[@manmanman4825]

“I was trying to be more historically... and here is a corn field."

[@RexusprimeIX]

I was literally just about to make the exact same joke, but you beat me to it.

[@baronvonclems]

I love castles and keeping it historical correct is a nice touch. Well done sir! The only downside to doing a castle out of loads of grey bricks is that it becomes way to perfectly flat and shiny.

[@Frohds14]

Historical correct? I'm sorry, no. That's more the "historical" sight on castles, Putin, Erdogan and Ceaușescu have. Who built similiar monstrosities in real live.

[@Alex-lm7cx]

I love the cross section of the wall filled with loose stone. I don't think I've seen that before and it really adds to the realistic feel.

[@zinnadahodges6766]

I like builders that are very enthusiastic with the builds and interview. Also kinda sounds like Brian

[@InformerMaz]

Machicolations - Shadversity would be proud.

[@GenesisG80]

What a totally amazing, and breath taking build. The massive attention to detail, and added features goes beyond belief! An explanation by the builder added a great deal of appreciation for the time and effort it took to create this! Simply remarkable!

[@jasonwinterboer5232]

This is wonderfully detailed! My favorite part is the visible detail under the water bricks!!!

[@fredrikjohansson7854]

Love that he actually tried to ground his decisions into some sort of reasoning rather than, "Ohh thats looks cool", the little details like the books being locked up was really cool.

[@damonryan2861]

There is something about Lego castles that make them so majestic. Excellent job. Well done.

[@hoarder66]

The window pieces for the backs of the chairs look amazing. Lego is just the best thing on Earth. Creativity is great

[@tigerbesteverything]

only bad thing is cost and minifigures availability, especially for older sets.

[@hoarder66]

@@tigerbesteverything what really sucks is when u have a person lying about rarity and selling a figure like phase2 rex that came in a $25 set and isn't rare at all, for $150+. Those types of people should leave the lego community and sell used cars like the shady asshole of a business man that they are.

[@tigerbesteverything]

@@hoarder66 you need to understand the concept of market: if there is a lot of buyers, but few sellers, then product price just skyrocket.

[@hoarder66]

@@tigerbesteverything i understand that just fine. There r soooooo many rex's on the market. But certain people go on instagram and make a fake panic as to get everyone to rush to them and purchase. Pump and dump. Rex shouldn't have ever got over $20

[@coffeepot3123]

The reflective bricks just blows me away, when the camera penned towards the inside of the castle with that beautiful floor reflection, wow!.

[@svenssko]

As soon as he said "Machicolations" I knew he was a Shadiversity fan

[@raphaelmunzar7073]

Imagine Shadiversity reviewing the protection levels of this sick build.

he has harnessed the power of MACHICULATIONS!

[@dval4275]

What a beautiful build !!! Love how you went out of your way to mirror real castles !

[@SMac86]

This is amazing, well done! I hope a review from Shadiversity is on its way!

[@calcite.belemnite]

Absolutely fantastic. Real work of art and history lesson. Give this chap a prize.

This brought me back 20 years, those knight Lego sets.

[@isaacmedia1]

I now feel more educated about castles after watching this 😂 awesome build

[@depressedpumpkin7290]

That's awesome. You can really tell a lot of thought and time was put into every piece of this.

[@ryans413]

What a cool way of showing the rooms by just having the back open.

Mat Cauthon was probably my favorite character. Castle is Epic.

[@joelgonzalez9248]

Amazing! Always giddy about lego castles since the 80s.

[@lucahoria9060]

Exactly when my mam said that he wanted it to be historically acurate, a big dragon pops outta nowhere =))). Amazing build tho. Good job.

[@simonvermout7110]

10:00 the creeper in the bushes made this build ten times better

[@johnstup4479]

I love castles and seeing this in person was a treat!

[@kendrickparks9129]

7:58 I love the "X"llusion on the bridge by surrounding dark grey circular 1x1 flat pieces with light grey ones

[@bloodyoil5660]

Explain

[@kendrickparks9129]

@@bloodyoil5660 look closesly at the grey bridge leading up to the brown drawbridge. There are several dark grey pieces forming the rock path. They are all surrounded by dozens of light gray pieces forming the bridges surface. The spaces between the dark grey and light grey pieces forms a contrast resembling an x shape

[@borisp9163]

That pine tree is best lego tree I’ve seen period 👌🏻 also whole ambient about river very well done, amazing build

[@DakaGoody703]

This is my favorite build ever! I've watched it get bigger over the years at our BrickFair!

I was really just waiting for the shad namedrop, it was completely obvious from the way it was built. Anyway, two things: Medieval people had no: 1. Spyglasses 2. Corn

[@Heddrick]

Finally! A castle that can sit beside the lego blacksmith set and not look small.

[@chuckschwa]

This reminds me so much of those DK books with the cutaway illustrations! Anyone remember the Castle Explorer PC game?

[@HO-bndk]

Machicolation. Matriculation is when you pass an exam to get into a university. :o)

[@thecocktailian2091]

Seriously, just for this one theme build of his he had to spend thousands of dollars on the bricks. hardcore dedication.

[@georgegcanada5500]

Amazing!! Just curious, how many bricks did you use for this fantastic castle build? Thank you to show this wonderful job to us.

[@massimookissed1023]

I think for the period, a telescope would be a tube with "telescope" scribed onto it, waiting a few hundred years for the lenses to arrive.

[@FreeFallingAir]

Man, what a wonderful job. And throwing Mat in there as well!!! Nice

[@YeRider1]

coolest lego build ever

[@pippopremier0005]

Amazing castle. Inside, outside, everything fantastic! I think there's a little mistake with corn. It has central american origin and europeans didn't know about it in the middle age

[@sirbonobo3907]

lol i live in germany and i did not saw one single castle like this in my whole life and we got 15.000 of them over here :D

[@cosmos18764]

That man has done his research

[@HORRIOR1]

This castle would make Shadiversity proud, but he would probably point out the fact that the great hall has no pillars of any kind to keep the roof up.

[@jazzman782000]

And probably three or four other inaccurate details that almost no one else would have ever heard of before…

[@GothamClive]

They probably have magic materials that allow for architecture solutions that weren't possible in our world where medieval people hadn't yet discovered the power of the plastic brick.

[@indominusvader31]

One of the best Lego castles I've seen

I truly appreciate the work and effort being put into creating this rather historically correct castle (apart from certain fun details), and I think it turned out rally cool. However, I must take note, that corn was not presenti in medieval Europe, it was brought in from the Americas by portuguese sailors after 1492 AD. Great job though :)

I was going to mention that too. Although, I don't think dragons were present either...

Where did the minifigs with the spike-ball maces come from? There are so many cool vintage castle minifigs! I have 4 or 5 castle minifigs from my youth in the 1990's, but there are+ a few factions I don't recognize. It's just insane how FEW minifig torsos are printed today. The new Black Falcon knights and legs are great, but I'd be happy with direct re-releases of a lot of these older minifigs. Even just having scale mail with a green background and peasants with the same pattern but different colors of clothing would be amazing. I have a ton of pirates because I bought 2x Barracuda Bay and have a few from youth. Now the Creator castle has a pirate minifig. We need peasants, court ladies, serving wenches, wizards, kings, queens, nobles, and merchants, not just knights! Do more for the Castle community, Lego! I don't have $20 per minifig for vintage!
