Building A Memory - Schreiber-Bogen's Pfalz bei Kaub Paper Castle Diorama

visit my blog at: toyconnect.blogspot.com
This is the first diorama building series on my 'Toys & Stuff' blog. The series is called "Building a Memory" and I hope to do more. The dioramas' will feature places I've actually been to such as the one shown in this video.
The Pfalz bei Kaub castle lies on a large rock in the middle of the Rhine River in Germany and was built as a toll booth (sort of). It's purpose was to collect tolls from boats plying the river. A large chain stretched across the Rhine and was pulled up to prevent boats from passing until they paid the toll. It lies not too far south from the city of Coblenz. As castles go it's not terribly ornate inside. This was a working man's castle, not some ostentatious rich man's residence!
The diorama itself was meant from the beginning to be a fairly simple affair using easy diorama making techniques, therefore it's not as detailed as a more elaborate scale model diorama would be.
I hope you enjoy the video!

I'd love to have time to build more but sadly there's very little 'me' time any more

@JEFFNMANDA3 Many Thanx Jeff! Building just the castle alone would have been nice but putting it in a setting that I remember seeing the castle in made it that much nicer.

@puttrainguy Many Thanx Dan! I have about about a dozen paper models of places I've actually visited in Germany. Don't know if I'll ever get around to doing them all but we'll see. I've already pulled out the one I'm going to do next: Schreiber-Bogen's 'Marksburg Castle' which is just up the river from the castle in this video.
