I've been waiting to post this video until the construction was fully completed.
Nate From the Internet has been building a 'life-sized' Lego castle for nearly a year now. I'm pretty sure it's set 6080 - Kings Castle from 1984.
He's had to figure out how to 3d print the individual bricks which meant designing digital files for the initial 1x1 bricks and also for interlocking pieces to make each of the bricks, plates, and tiles that were too large to fit into a single 3d printer. Along the way he ran into problems with the interlocking mechanism, the fit of the pieces together, the strength of the plates on which he would hopefully be able to walk, how to 3d print the big ugly wall panels, and lots more.
The above video shows the assembly of the final castle, but Nate has a full playlist of the work in progress videos. They're all worth checking out, and I'm half tempted to look into going to Utah in August to see the final product.
