There are under two weeks left to help Caerphilly Castle become immortalised in toy brick form.

Cadw has entered the specially commissioned replica of Wales’ largest castle to Lego Ideas – where proposals for new Lego sets are considered for official release if they garner enough public support.

The model, created by Lego artist Adeel Zubair of Cardiff-company Little Big Art, features Welsh flags, the series of moats, and the famous leaning tower that make the 745-year-old castle so iconic.

The model requires the support of 10,000 users before a panel of Lego experts will decide whether it should go into production.

Andy Morris, owner of Little Big Art, added: “The real castle took three years to build, between 1268 and 1271, but we hope you might finish this one a little quicker.”
