I used to play pokemon competitively and I amassed a LOT of pokemon cards. So, I decided to make a castle out of my cards. Here it is.

It's not like a sandcastle, but let's give it a go.

So I told my friend about this and we had a few silly ideas just from things we had to hand. But then we went out and found ourselves in a room with a lot of chairs and done this instead. :p

It was big enough to crawl under, with a slight risk of chairalanche if you hit the chair arms in the middle.

Now I really want to build a fort and have books and my video games, with some hot chocolate.
 
I've been really busy but I thought I may as well chill out and build a castle lol

Yay, this was fun! I made a castle out of all the pokemon things that I have. Thanks to my little brother who helped me sort out out all my pokemon cards.
Here are some pics, I hope you guys like it :)

Behold pokemon castle in all its glory!main final.jpg


A moat filled with dangerous water and ice type pokemon to protect the stronghold.

Atop the tower reside fearsome legendary pokemon (and Shinx :rolleyes:) who serve as guardians to the kingdom.

And a tiny lil Isabelle serves as secretary and doordog, opening the gates to whoever is granted access.

This is the stuff that I wanted to include but couldn't fit.

Loving them all so far! I'm especially a fan of Callaway's cat castle, TykiButterfree's Castle castle, and 'The Booze Tree'.

I disliked my previous entry as soon as I'd posted it, so I came up with a better idea. It took me 3 days to get all of the materials (ugh, I'm so sick of drinking iced tea) for it, and several attempts to actually get it to float. It looks like a bit of a mess, but I'm pretty proud of it.

Made 100℅ out of recycled materials. The photos aren't great with me chasing it round the pool to try and get a good photo, but it's recognizable.

I didn't really know what to make mine out of, it's mostly dvds, cds, games and toys. But also a water bottle, and some boxes of pocky in that back that you can't see for structural support. It was something fun to do while I couldn't sleep last night. And I loved seeing everyone else's :)

Castle Marvel is constructed out of limited edition Marvel movie collectibles such as buckets, cups, and charms/key chains as well as Marvel DVDs and Blurays (I don't care who owns the movie rights to X-Men or Spidey -- they're still Marvel characters). The perimeter is made up of the collection of the Marvel Civil War graphic novels with an X-Men: The Animated Series grand staircase, and an X-Men guard tower to the east. On the lower levels of the castle, we see Spider-Man and Captain America. Just above them, we find Wolverine on guard on the same floor as the Guardians of the Galaxy, armed with Captain American's shield of vibranium and Mjolnir, the legendary hammer of Thor, which has been temporarily discarded. On the very top floor of the castle, we find the leader of the Avengers, Iron Man keeping watch over his kingdom.
 
Okay I did my best, and even made a photobucket for this!

We'll pick our top X (x being a number depending on how many entries we get) and then the members will vote on those.

Ah okay. Either way was fine, I just wanted to know for sure, because if we can vote, I wanna start having favorites in mind already to make it easier. <3 Thanks so much for replying.
