Scaled up 375/6075 Yellow Castle by Duncan Titmarsh
Huw Millington sends word of a Brickish Association event he recently attended, where the centerpiece was a 6x version of 375/6075 Castle — aka “The Yellow Castle” or “What I wanted for Christmas 1978 and why I’m still not speaking to my parents, 30 years later.” ;-)
Don’t think that looks that big? Think again:
Check out more photos in photosets from Martin Long, Huw, and Darren Smith.
