The Fortrex (Nexo Knights 70317)

Perhaps it's my preference for sci-fi but my immediate thought upon seeing a 'Castle' themed contest was to build the Fortrex from the Nexo Knights theme rather than a traditional castle. It's still a fortress inhabited by knights and a wizard, even if it does have treads and lasers...

Just like the original set, this tiny Fortrex can open up for easier access to the inside and drawbridge can be lowered.

Although Clay's motorcycle is too large to be stored directly behind the drawbridge, there is just enough room in front of Merlok 2.0 to balance it sideways. Aaron's flying crossbow vehicle has been represented with a stud shooter, which not only allows it to point diagonally upwards but also retains its ability to launch a projectile.

While I was not able to use translucent neon orange (my second favourite Lego colour) due to certain parts not existing in those colours, the standard orange I used instead still contrasts well with the blues and greys used on the rest of the build.
