Beautiful model, instructions could be improved

My wife and I bought this as a compromise, she loves jigsaw puzzles & I don’t, but we wanted a shared quiet, focusing activity. Our son was a huge Lego Star Wars fan, and at 27 still has his Lego Death Star.
This was a challenge to build, some of the instructional drawings didn’t give the best perspective of the pieces or how the fit together, especially when building both sides of a section that were not identical. Also telling the colors of some of the parts was somewhat difficult when you have a bag with several different shades of the same color family.
I also agree with other reviewers about the large tower’s stability, any movement of the model and you can see it wobble. I will probably take it apart and add some “sticky-tack” poster adhesive to a few of the joints where the shafts connect, and where it connects to the base, in order to stop the wobbles.
All in all though, we really did enjoy the project, and will display it in our home. We have already purchased Himeji Castle for our next one. I wish that the US Capitol & White House models were still available, as we would like to build those too.

I agree with a lot of the comments about stability or lack there of. It was a good idea but the structure is not sturdy like most of the builds I’ve done before. It has great detail on the castle but not the landscape and courtyard.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Starting in bag 15, missing small pieces in that and subsequent bags. No, they are not on my floor nor in the plastic bags. Very frustrating.

I LOVE the architecture series. But this was an absolute abomination. So many of the studs and bricks were left hanging intentionally, with a completely hollow inner shell. The instructions had 3 "major" errors, and it took several attempts to rectify the missing/erroneous parts. Compared to Notre Dame, this was a TERRIBLE purchase. Do better lego.

The build was annoying because of the lack of stability. The set is basically hollowed. A let down from last year’s Notre Dame.

This was a fun build and looks great on my bookshelf. We went to this castle a few years ago and it’s fun to look at home. Great build.

The problem with this build it inside is most everything in the base/hills is cantilevered and hollow, and many pieces are only supported or joined by single pegs, often skipping over the chance to make the slopes sit on all the pegs even. As you put the castle together, it is very hard to make the hills solid and squish them back together, causing everything to fall apart. The various "joists" in the middle are held on with a single peg. If you compare the base design of "Tranquil Garden" you will see something completely rock solid and sufficiently better made. It's a shame as I really like the look and how all the small parts come together.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
