Hohenzollern Castle
Also known as the setting for the TV series "The Worst Witch"
Our granddaughter liked the series and the castle that appears in the introduction interested me. A quick check on Google Identified it the above German castle. A slightly longer call on Google directed me to Canon. As with most of my Canon kits I printed it as 2 for 1 pdfs making it about half size and only 10 pages long - no including the instructions. This makes the base 7 X 11 inches or 27 X 18 cm. Canon don't give a scale for their buildings so I made a rough calculation using one of the gates as a guide. As they say Measure twice cut once. Measuring the gate is fine, but I have no real size of the original, although photos on the internet show many visitors which helps. My calculation gives between 1:500 and 1: 750. Overall I like the completed building but as toy will see it looks as if it's sliding down the mountain. In hindsight I should have reinforced all the courtyards and and gardens. I'll remember next time !! Cheers Mike |

Thanks, Mike! I've enjoyed the series and the castle would be a good one to add to my collection.
