It's a 12 inch replica of the castle from THE DARK CRYSTAL. Hope you like it.

BTW: Does anyone know a good kit producer?

I'm glad you like it so much! Thank you!

I used FIMO SOFT, black; wire armatures and as much reference as possible!
I wanted every tiny detail correct. You can also see the triangle opening where the 3 suns shine through in the movie.

I went to a company (here in Switzerland) asking how much this would cost making molds. About $ 5000.- !!! :( And that's only the negatives...


Anyone know someone who can do this cheaper?
It does come in 23 parts (1 main body, 22 towers). The main body needs about 4 silicone parts. The towers can be made with 2 each.
