Make a LEGO Castle

Do you like LEGO? You can make castles using LEGO and other items, as well as a village next to it.

Steps

Start out with a flat surface. If you do not have a LEGO baseplate, you can use a flat, strong surface, such as a table.
Build some walls on the flat surface. Make sure a front wall has an entrance large enough to let in LEGO horses and troops,at least eight or nine bricks high. Also add towers at the corners of each wall.
Add a gate, portcullis or a staircase It can either drop down or open, you decide. also decide if you want a drawbridge, but be prepares to include a moat.
Build the top of the walls into castle rampart shapes.
Create a moat, even if it is just partial. Some large blue LEGO plates would do.
Add outbuildings. A barbican (tower protecting the gate) Or some village buildings would work
Add scenery, people and accessories. Soldiers, villagers, siege weaponry, trees etc. Be creative!

Note how many pieces you have before building, it could save you time!
Color matters: A castle wall built entirely out of grey tones looks infinitely better than one that just uses random colored bricks.
Castle walls weren't perfectly flat: Add side clip bricks and slopes to add detail to the wall.
For a really impressive build, make several of the walls curved or slanted.
Build the castle out of blue/trans blue pieces, and add an Elsa mini figure, to build the castle from Frozen.

Make sure the pieces won't fall if building Elsa's ice palace. Example: You make the middle tower and it falls over!
