Thanks, guys!

most of the lower front facade is made from fisher-price castles (including the one JFAK used in his castle destro playset way back when) with a few pieces of the Van Helsing castle around the ramp (made from the bridge layer)

This is exceptional, and I love that you employed the Elves. LOL.

Truly inspirational.

Holy _____, dude!

That thing is frikkin' epic! Awesome!

Do you have any advice for approaching the construction of a piece that big? I've been wanting to make the Batcave for some time (got $100+ invested in materials), but kinda have "writer's block" when I see the WIP under my bench...

Thanks for the encouragement & support everyone!

Two things I've learned from working on this project, and maybe some advice on doing a project of this size/scope:

1. Start rough. Work on the big ideas first. If you get caught up in the details too early, the project itself becomes too daunting. There's always time to go back in later and fill in the details & small areas.

2. Follow your muse. If you get a ton of ideas and a burst of inspiration, allow it to happen. On the flip side, if your muse goes silent, and the project becomes a chore, or gets tedious, stop for awhile. Then, in another month (or six months, in my case,) of just letting it rest, listen again for more inspiration -- if you're not enjoying working on it, it's not worth working on, and the results will show that.

Thanks again, folks -
