Hear about Chris’s LEGO journey, his design process, and some of the challenges of recreating sets at a much smaller scale. Check out his Rebrickable page, too, if you’d like to build any of his designs! https://rebrickable.com/users/christromans/mocs/

In our first dive into the history of LEGO Castle, we go all the way back to where it started: the yellow castle from 1978. A castle that opens up, a working drawbridge, brick-built horses, and one of the very first sets with minifigures—what’s not to like? Kenton and Nate also consider several smaller sets from the early days of LEGO Castle, as well as some more recent tributes to these classic sets.
Welcome to the very first episode of Knights in Plastic Armor, a podcast all about LEGO Castle! Join Kenton and Nate as they give a rundown of what the show will be about, talk about each of their childhood introductions to LEGO Castle, and recap sets that have come out so far in 2025.
