Huw Millington sends word of a Brickish Association event he recently attended, where the centerpiece was a 6x version of 375/6075 Castle — aka “The Yellow Castle” or “What I wanted for Christmas 1978 and why I’m still not speaking to my parents, 30 years later.” ;-)
Don’t think that looks that big? Think again:
Check out more photos in photosets from Martin Long, Huw, and Darren Smith.
EDIT: Commenters over on Gizmodo point out that this is a 6:1 scale model, not just 6x bigger, which means that it’s actually 216 times as big as the original!
Batman?
This is insane. A classic castle built from big bricks which are in turn comprised of normal scale elements. It’s making my brain hurt from it’s cheesy coolness.
Hey, I’m on TBB! (first pic; baldy head and RailBricks Tshirt!)
I’ve made bigger.
It’s even better close up when you can see how much of a talent the lads that built this have.
Hey,
Just to emphasize what Rocko implies in his post, the ultra cool thing about this is not that it’s just another scaled-up creation. They actually came with crates of 6x bricks, and these were assembled on-site using the instructions from the original set with the giant bricks. This may well be my favorite castle LEGO thing ever.
Here’s another great gallery from Gizmodo.

I love the paddle wheeler in the gallery, and I recognize Peter Reid’s spaceships.
This was so cool to see in real life, check out the Mr Men on guard at the back :0)
I see Batman on that castle. o_O
This is one of the most awesome MOCs ever! You can see that they even have one of the Red Doors positioned ‘upside down’ in the build! :)

talltim> Did you get the L size t-shirt? It looks like you’ve put on about 50kg of pure muscle, all on your shoulders, in that pic. I believe those guys are insane.
Love it, love it, love it. And I did see the Mr. Men! Fantastic. It’s gonna be really hard to ever top this act for “best display of love for the Yellow Castle set”.

I have been searching for the yellow castle instructions for years…is is possible to get them? Please advise. Joyce
@Joyce: Peeron.com has downloadable instructions for LEGOLAND Castle set 375, aka the “Yellow Castle.” Enjoy!
