My custom Dream Castle "Starlight Castle" - MORE pics pg5!

[QueenStarglow]

Dream Castle has always been a playset I dreamed of owning. I picked up a busted, filthy, and yellowed Dream Castle for five dollars at a swap meet and it was so hopeless. The seller just wanted it gone, but I was seeing stars! Over the next few months I collected the missing pieces, like the third wall, two turrets, and accessories, all while planning exactly how I could bring this castle back to life.

I have everything I need now and so I've finally begun work! I have several different paints for different parts of the building, but I'm not 100% what will be painted with what yet.

Welcome to Starlight Castle!

Starlight Castle is the empyreal home of celestial ponies (Glow 'N Show, Sparkle, Starlight babies, and their like) and ruled by Queen Starglow. She is the keeper of a great treasure, the heart of a star, which is powerful enough to give and nurture life on planets, but is also powerful enough to destroy worlds in an explosive super nova. These ponies are the keepers of constellations, the shepherds of stars. They are diviners and their magic is meant to empower the moon phases and maintain gravity on Earth.

COOL!  Love the idea of a castle for the celestial ponies!  I can't wait to see more!

[QueenStarglow]

Thank you! I hope I don't mess it up! I bought a black coffee table and Christmas town cotton "snow" blanket to set the castle on. The blanket will be like clouds!

Pardon me, just gotta pick my jaw up off the floor...

Please show us when it's done!

[QueenStarglow]

I will for sure! I'm a few coats into painting the building mother of pearl buit need to decide what I should paint the floor and window trim. So many choices!

The turrets, gate, and other accessories are painted metallic silver and are covered in a layer of diamond dust. It's amazing in person!

It's looking great so far!  I love that you rescued it and you're making it beautiful again!

This looks really nice so far QueenStarglow!  Looking forward to seeing more progress pictures.  I noticed you had a little sparkly baby dragon hanging out there?  He's very cute!
