For Project 8, we are going to build a fairy tale castle! We will be using the sheet from your kit that has various walls and parapets.  Background For some information about Neuschwanstein, check out the Wikipedia entry and video below: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuschwanstein_Castle The Build Like the model of Florence Cathedral, this model has some interesting challenges.
