Introduction: Miniature Castle


My inspiration for this design was when I used to live in Florida and saw the castle at Disneyland. They have such unique designs which I believe appear magnificent in any scale. My interest in castles have grown and I think the coolest one is Neuschwanstein in Germany.


I used the Walt Disney castle as a reference.
