When I set out to build a white LEGO castle on a tall rocky cliff, I intended to make it medieval in style, inspired by illustrations of the Eyrie from George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire. But as the build progressed, and the structures took shape in brick, in my imagination, it began to take on a futuristic vibe. So, I decided to double down on that, removing many of the rounded elements I had started with. Adding stacks of smooth, square and rectangular levels, and increasing the number of individual structures left me with a sci-fi city.

Overall, I am quite happy with the finished product, with the many white structures contrasting the dark sand landscape, with the blend of old and modern architecture.
