This is good advice. In fact, the building of a large castle could be quite
a story in itself. You could set it up with workmen, carts full of bricks,
scaffolding, and chronicle the process on a website. Even build a story
around it. I'm doing something similar with my space MOC

crew pictures and "promotional posters".
