I loaded up on Dragon Masters sets about 4-5 years ago when my favorite toy
store closed up shop and sort of ended up with 2 or 3 of each major set and
dozens of the smaller ones. My core of my castle army has about 5-600
Dragonmasters of the 1000 or so minifigs! By the way, I just recently bought 10
Fire Breathing Fortresses from DYA in France and even with shipping they were
quite resonable, being roughly the original retail price (search shopping or
buy-sell-trade for a linke to them).
Of course the interior details will come later, but first I need to go through
all the pictures already posted and make captions. I was in a bit of a hurry to
get them up so they would be ready when I announce my Blacksmith Shop kit
yesterday. Hopefully I'll have some time for that this weekend. The big
problem with huge models like this is it takes forever to make noticeable
progress. It took me several weeks to get all of the crenellations done and an
entire day just to put in all the black hoardings between the merlons!

I would love to see a big castle with secret passageways, maybe even something
scary like Count Dracula's fortress or Frankenstein's castle!
