| | Hi,
Actual dims given for this set seems to be the box dims, not the model dims.
|
All set dimensions are based on box sizes, as that is the size of the item when
shipping it. You don't post built sets.

I do not contest that the information is relevant, it is already on the *box
entry*
(top-right links: Set Entry | Instructions Entry | Original Box Entry)
From a buyer's perspective, it seems relevant to me to find the dimensions
of a set on its Set Entry.
In the same way as in an Ikea catalog, display picture of furniture with its
finished dimensions, in order to figure the product. The packing details are
a question that arises next.
|
Built dimensions for sets are not something that bricklink records, though. Not
for this set, or any set.

I can give exact measurement, verified on a real model : verified on Stud.io
But this Castle has different display configurations, which changes dims a lot.
I dont know which one you want to put in the database.
Display parameters :
- open/close the walls (positions of the 3 base plates)
- open/closed drawbridge: change 3cm on the depth
- position of some parts: baseplates angles, flags orientation, pin connector
(may vary ~1.5 cm)
The photo display on the box & catalog shows: walls closed / drawbridge open
config
Measurements verified on a real model: (Width x Height x Depth)
walls open / drawbridge open: 65 x 24 x 29 cm
walls open / drawbridge closed: 65 x 24 x 26 cm
Measurements verified on Studio:
walls open / drawbridge open: 62.4 x 24.2 x 29.5 cm
walls open / drawbridge closed: 62.4 x 24.2 x 24.2 cm
walls closed / drawbridge open: 27.6 x 24.2 x 34.3 cm (as seen on the box/catalog)
walls closed / drawbridge closed: 27.6 x 24.2 x 31.2 cm

All set dimensions in the catalog are based on set contents in a brand-new sealed
package. This was made this way to ensure a consistent system that could simply
be used across all sets. All of the measurements you list above for different
scenarios is why it is this way.
