Royal Imperial Academy (Qiji 2608)

About this set

This Royal Academy set from KEEPPLEY's Princess Leah line carries 423 pieces on the box, a 2/5 difficulty rating, and a 6+ age mark under set 2608. The build is a princess castle in purple, blue, white, green and gold, with an arched front, white columns, a clock tower, a winged crest on the wall, a minifigure and a garden section. Start with the white columns and arches of the front wall so the spacing and arch height line up, then attach the clock tower above, and finish with the garden and the purple and blue roof pieces. The gold parts are mostly crest and trim details, so press them in after the structure is complete. Clutch is light throughout, making it a friendly first castle for younger builders and a relaxed parent-and-child project; leave the minifigure and garden layout for kids to arrange.
