I recently got my own dream castle too! mine has snapped hinges like yours and I am thinking of ideas to fix them. In the mean time I have Spikes basket winch and drawbridge string in its original state. If you would like I could measure mine and send you the measurements? earliest I can do that is Tuesday :) I cleaned mine with a toothbrush and antibacterial soap. A steam cleaner may totally remove stickers but if you are planning on doing that anyway it wont be an issue :P As for sticker scans, I have seen them online, I hope our dual restoration projects go well!
Thanks for the congratulations, everyone. I really appreciate it.
I've been busy at the repairs. I have reconstructed the broken clips and am in the process of reinforcing where they join to the walls so that it will hold up. I've also cut and fitted a new drawbridge rope through trial and error, so emily_katie.. If you don't feel like bothering with the measurement you don't have to. It would still be appreciated though.
What would also be appreciated would be tracings of the felt banners and Majesty's felt cape. Those seem like they would be simple enough to replicate myself.

No problem :') On the sticker sheets I have seen they have a template for the felt pieces. http://www.kimonostownhouse.com/fun/dream_castle.html (http://www.kimonostownhouse.com/fun/dream_castle.html) You can find the sticker scans and templates here :)
What a coincidence, I just got Dream Castle too! Huge congrats!! :hearts:Thank you very much! The Kimono's Townhouse page doesn't have a tracing of the cape, so that's very helpful of you!
I measured the string for the drawbridge and it's approximately 15 inches. It's pretty much the right length for it to fully extend so I would run it through, tie both ends and cut off the excess. I need to fix one of the hinges on mine too. I have the banners and cape so I will try to get those traced out or scanned in the next few days.
I have doubles of some of the accessories if you're interested, I just need to dig them out. I think I have an extra throne, hoops, basket and some other things. Let me know. :)
Thank you very much! The Kimono's Townhouse page doesn't have a tracing of the cape, so that's very helpful of you!
I probably would be interested in some of those, at that. I don't suppose you have the shoes and crown?
Well, even if you can't find a 4th shoe, 3 is still better than zero. And I might be able to put my resin casting kit to work on filling the vacancy.

No prob! I'll aim to trace the cape on Tuesday, tomorrow is another busy day. I have 3 of 4 shoes and I think I see the tiara in there. I will be keeping the damsel hat. Basically the dream castle stuff in this photo is mostly doubles, I just need to get the box down from the loft and double check against what I got yesterday. I also had DC as a child so I'll look through my other accessories and see if I can find one more shoe but I don't remember seeing one the last time I looked through my accessories.
