COURSE PROJECT
CASTLE DOLLHOUSE
Whether you're a novice or a seasoned miniaturist, this course promises an immersive and educational experience, providing you with the skills and inspiration to craft a Middle Age Castle Dollhouse that exudes the magic and grandeur of the medieval period.
This castle is an ideal project for anyone captivated by fantasy films, video games, and medieval characters. Its grand design makes it a fantastic setting for recreating battles and enjoying board games. Additionally, it serves as a romantic, fairytale backdrop for stunning photos of BJD dolls and other toys.
This impressive castle includes all the features one would expect from a real castle of this era.
The protective walls are flanked by four defensive towers—two large ones with pointed roofs and two smaller ones on either side of the main entrance.
The walls are over 10 cm thick, providing a walking path for toy soldiers to be positioned at various points along the battlements.
The main entrance boasts two wooden doors and a metal gate equipped with a mechanism that allows it to open and close smoothly.
The base is divided into two sections, allowing for convenient transportation and ensuring it can easily fit through any standard-sized door.
This castle is proportioned perfectly for 1:12 scale toys or smaller, making it an ideal residence for dolls, action figures, tin soldiers, and a variety of fantasy creatures.
Its design not only enhances playability but also adds a touch of whimsy to any imaginative scenario.
Whether for display or interactive play, this castle serves as a captivating backdrop for countless adventures.
The entire castle can be separated into multiple components, allowing for flexible display options without the need for permanent assembly.
Each section features its own electrical circuit and battery box, enabling individual display if desired. The defensive walls, along with the plants, trees, and rocks, are also movable.
This design allows the castle to be dismantled and stored in smaller parts, saving space and making transportation much easier.
The defensive walls at the front of the castle are removable, providing easy access to the courtyard.
This section features numerous architectural details, including external wooden stairs attached to the walls and a charming well that would have supplied water to the castle.
The main room of the castle, known as the Great Hall, serves as a central hub of activity and grandeur. This expansive space is where the lord or ruler would hold formal audiences, welcoming subjects, dignitaries, and visitors from far and wide. The Great Hall is not only a place for governance but also a venue for social gatherings.
In addition to its role in hosting meals and gatherings, the Great Hall is a symbol of power and authority, where important decisions are made and the fate of the realm is often discussed. Its walls bear witness to the history of the castle, making it a vital part of the castle's identity and a focal point of its social life.
The two main towers of the castle feature classic medieval spiral staircases. Each tower is divided into various levels that can serve as bedrooms, studios, or weapon storage.
The castle also boasts a spacious kitchen, complete with a large fireplace and essential furniture for food preparation.
Additionally, there is a storage room for keeping all food and provisions.
Directly above the Great Hall is the Master Bedroom, which will be adorned with vibrant, hand-painted medieval ornaments. Its walls will feature dark wooden panels in a Gothic style.
The room will be furnished with a royal velvet canopy bed and additional small furnishings, all in keeping with the Gothic aesthetic.
Students will explore various aging and weathering techniques.
The application of these hand-painted textures will provide a realistic appearance to the entire castle.
Windows and other architectural details will be crafted with great precision, adhering to the traditional Gothic style.
Every room will be adorned with medieval-style chandeliers and wall sconces.
Each light fixture will be crafted using various techniques and materials to create a rustic and authentic appearance.
In this course, you will also learn how to create realistic soil, grass, trees, and flowers.
Most of these plants will be placed outside the castle walls and will be crafted on a removable platform, allowing you to reposition them as needed for photo shoots or battle reenactments.
In this course, students will learn to recreate various types of stones to apply to the castle's walls. Due to the numerous repairs and reconstructions from battles over the centuries, many variations of stone types can be found within a single wall. We will replicate each of these stones and bricks using different materials and texturing techniques.
Whether you're a novice or a seasoned miniaturist, this course promises an immersive and educational experience, providing you with the skills and inspiration to craft a Middle Age Castle Dollhouse that exudes the magic and grandeur of the medieval period.
