BrickFair New England 2017.
HOPE castle's first appearance on the East coast was met with excitement and an award "Best Lighted MOC". It also did make the World of Lights at this show that much brighter and louder. Hopefully I will get a chance to get to the biggest BrickFair show BrickFair VA one of these coming years. Would want a "co-pilot" for the long drive!

Video link above starts at where HOPE castle makes an appearance in the Video. Joshua and Matthew did great commentary while walking past the castle.
Denver Brickfest (LIVE) 2016
Struggling to find any good pictures of the Completed HOPE Castle for this show.
I did win Best Castle for this show. Thanks to Carter Baldwin on an AWESOME award piece in memory of Jim West. I use the telescope in every showing of Jim's Barn. It was moved to Jim's level in Memorial Tower for the Brickworld Chicago 2024 show.
BrickFest LIVE 2015
The First year Brickfest LIVE came to Denver. This was before HOPE Castle ended up on MILS plates and could be put into any configuration. Lots of ships trying to wage war or trying an invasion. NOTE the awesome custom sails on the ICE BEAR Imperial Flagship.
