Classic Legoland Castle is back in yellow
Even if most LEGO builders are too young to have played with Legoland Castle when it was released in 1978, the vintage set with its iconic yellow brick walls holds legendary status among fans. Many have paid tribute to the set with homages and re-imaginings over the years and now Olle Moquist is the latest builder to catch the yellow castle nostalgia bug. Olle strikes an appealing balance between tradition and innovation while using no black, white, or grey elements in the building itself. The parapets atop large arches are straight from the original, while the central keep is reinterpreted with modern techniques and a more historically accurate design. The cross-shaped windows framed by minifig legs, nanofigure statuary, and purple banner fringed by capes are especially nice touches. For extra vintage flair, Olle digitally composites the castle into a backdrop reminiscent of LEGO adverts of the era.
