Man Builds Hyperrealistic Medieval Castle with Plasticine in 1.5 Years 🏰

Aleksey Karpushkin reveals his extraordinary long-term project: the construction of a fully detailed, modular medieval castle sculpted from nothing more than children’s modeling clay. Every stone, every stair, every tower is handmade, but every decision is guided by historical research.

From spiral staircases, battlements, and portcullises to kitchens with bread ovens, storage cellars filled with barrels, and smithies with working bellows, Aleksey shows that castles were not only fortresses but living communities. Even the people (guards, servants, animals, and villagers) are sculpted from the same material as the walls, making this castle feel truly alive.

This is not just a model but an experiment in history, engineering, and imagination.


Aleksey wrestles with the softness of plasticine, reinforcing walls with toothpicks, cardboard, and matchboxes, solving problems much like medieval masons did with stone and timber. The result is a castle that can be taken apart level by level, revealing interiors and showing how medieval life unfolded within.
