***Larger pictures than 800x600 may disqualify the entry.***

On a 16x16 baseplate, or on a 16x16 base, create a series of 4 connected, castle-oriented vignettes that visually tell a story. The goal is to create a 'story' which can be viewed when the overall MOC is spun.
The Rules:
- You may enter twice, each individual entry consisting of the four connected vignettes.

- Your overall entry may consist of a single 16x16 MOC with four vignetted 'scenes' each on an 8x8 footprint within, providing it tells a story.
- To tell your story, your vignettes must be put in a logical progressive order. You may move the story to the right or two the left, it is your choice. Your first and fourth vignettes do not have to relate to each other.
- You may repeat minifigs throughout the vignettes. However, if your story revolves around an object, that must be explicitly obvious.
- Do NOT write a story for your entry. You may title it descriptively, but the object is to visually tell a story.
