Micro Dragon Mountain

The Dragon Mountain, from the last run of Castle before Nexo Knights, is one of my favorite sets, especially if you don't count external IPs. It's one of the last sets I got before I started college and couldn't afford most Lego sets for 4 years. I only took it apart last year and I almost put it back together for this competition, but I lack space for it.

I tried to make it as close to the original as possible, with as many details as I could fit in it. The rooms have all the amenities they do in the set, the stairs have the same color pattern, the flags, crystal and shield are all included, the dragon fits on his perch and the catapult has golden spikes, to name some of the obsessive details I put in.

The most difficult parts were the dragon's head (I ended up using a parrot) and the spider web (brick studio doesn't have all the spider web pieces yet so I used a white coiled whip).

As you may be able to guess, I designed the entire thing with the instruction manual in front of me.
