My Latest Castle

[playmogirl]

As long as I am sending pics today, here is my latest castle! I love building with Playmobil. This castle was so large I couldn't get the draw bridge open, so I had to take out a section.

I have a huge lot of castle parts coming that I am looking forward to playing with!

Wow, that is some castle! I think the door in the bottom right corner is a weak point though - bit too easy for the attackers to get in. All they have to do is knock and say they have a Playmobil parcel to deliver, and the door will fly open.

I like the way Steck can incorporate roofed buildings into the wall system - with System X there is the one keep, but no way to build more roofed areas (other than towers) into the walls. 

It's so big there appears to be a boy trapped behind it!

Certainly is a great castle.  I was going to correct Martin and point out that the small door opens on to the moat, but if the blue stuff is the moat, then it appears to have flooded the central courtyard.

Now that is a castle! I think all you need on that tower door is a 'No Admittance' sign.

i agree with what Martin said about Steck allowing you to have roofed buildings in the wall system and I love those round towers!

Currently there seems to be floodings everywhere!

or maybe "Tradesman's Entrance", so the plumber knows where to call.

Hello, Anne ...

Very nice Steck Castle ... 

At first, I just couldn't understand why all of your little Klickys appeared to be using ladders. It seemed that for coming and going it would have been a lot easier just to use the doors. Then, I saw the tiger! (And, is that also a leopard wandering around on the inside of your castle?)

There must be a story that you would like to share with us about how this happened? And, is it a permanent arrangement? Or, are your Klickys hoping to someday be able to inhabit ALL of your wonderful Steck Castle?

All the best,
Richard

Thanks! Yes that door needs to be changed. I got some parts yesterday so I have a number of improvements to make.

I don't like the system X castles at all. I have the Eagle castle, and the smaller rock castle. The rock castle is not bad.  I recently added the Eagle to the rock, it still didn't stay together well. I will not buy the larger system X castle, ever.

The boy is my 7 year old, he is the one who set up all the knights and ladders for the picture!

You caught me, not enough green felt on hand

I love the round towers too.  I got mine from Ridge Road last summer for an incredible price.  I am still mad that I didn't buy more than one!
