The Most Magnificent Paper Castle ever made
- Quite Possibly!

A Magnifiicent paper castle

This is a paper castle built by Ken Vandre and it is one of the most magnificent paper castles I have ever seen. It has an other-worldly look and feel to it -with just a hint of Dr. Seuss. You can watch the video showing it in action and you can visit the creators website. The Enchanted Kiosk or you can visit his youtube channel: terransage

About the Project: The creator (Ken) uses a wide variety of techniques to make his castles. These techniques include using a lot of recycled products and the paper technique is a cross between papier mache and decoupage. He uses lots of layering and then finishes it with polyurethan. He ends up with a very sturdy completed project, not what you would expect from paper. He has made eight of these castles over the years and they take quite a long time to make. This one, in the video, took about four months to make. The Marble cascade in the center alone took two months to make.

	Make This Model Medieval Castle (Usborne Cut-Out Models) I was given this project as a gift and thoroughly enjoyed it. You need to have some paper working skill to make it come out really good. I used a little too much glue when attaching the parts to the base so the base came out just a little wrinkled. When you do a project like this always be sparing with the glue. The subtle colors of this model are really nice.
