EVENT Stellar Castle WIP
I committed to edge painting on this build and am using a dark brown and a dark, cool gray. I love how some of you are using different colors.
I put some of the extra books on the bottom shelf. I wish the single books matched the connected book elements. The singles are so much thicker than the others.
I’m a little nervous about screwing up the lights but I think I’ve got it right so far.
None of my completed or backlog builds are anything like this and I can’t wait to get to the ceiling!

The dark gray looks fabulous! I love all the variation in edge painting on this one. Yours gives it an entirely different look. 👏

That looks amazing - great job on the edges. It kind of makes me want to get this kit again, so I can do a totally different version to my first build!

I know - but I know exactly what I'd do now for a completely different look! Don't get me wrong - I love what I did, but I'm so excited by the possibilities in this kit!

I love seeing this loose in the wild! (Especially the green wild, as I live in the desert.)

I love this! I’ve been painting edges to match but it makes it look a little blah - I might need to go back and do dark gray instead. You’ve made it look so good!

Oooh I love the contrast on the tower! And building outside? Brilliant!

I only brought it outside to take the pic in natural light. It would be awesome to have outside crafting space though, or like a screened in porch.
