BTE Project - The Buda Castle Palace, Budapest (1:1)

The Buda Castle Palace, built in the Build The Earth Project.

Oh boy... where should I start? Sorry for not posting in a while, but i've been working on this project since October, investing a total of 500-450 hours of work into this... i'm insane, I know. BUT! It's finally complete, and this is my greatest build ever...

Featuring:

• 200+ custom, hand made trees, accurate to their heights and location in real life
• 100% of the terrain was terraformed by hand
• 150+ lampposts, all in their accurate locations
• The complete Castle Palace building, and the surroundings, as they are currently built.
• The Buda Castle Funicular railway
• The Castle Garden Bazaar
• The Royal Stables
• The 0 km stone
• An A321 with Wizz Air decals
• over 3 million blocks, which were all placed by hand despite the cries of my poor mouse

Buda Castle (Hungarian: Budavári Palota, German: Burgpalast) is the historical castle and palace complex of the Hungarian kings in Budapest. It was first completed in 1265, but the massive Baroque palace today occupying most of the site was built between 1749 and 1769. The complex in the past was referred to as either the Royal Palace (Hungarian: Királyi-palota) or the Royal Castle (Hungarian: Királyi Vár, German: Königliche Burg). The castle now houses the Hungarian National Gallery and The Budapest History Museum.

Buda Castle sits on the southern tip of Castle Hill, surrounded by the touristic area known as Várnegyed (Castle Quarter), which is famous for medieval, Baroque and Neoclassical houses, churches, public buildings, and monuments. The hill is linked to Clark Ádám Square and the Széchenyi Chain Bridge by the Castle Hill Funicular. The castle is a part of the Budapest World Heritage Site, so declared in 1987. The original Royal Palace was ruined during WWII, it was rebuilt in a simplified Stalin Baroque style during the Kádár era.

The total area of the build is around 0.2 km2
