We've seen children's large-toy castles for playing inside of; older ones might be made of cement (homebuilt), manufactured ones out of die-cast plastic.
The "Plush Castle" is made of soft foam with plush faux-fur on the outside; assembled with a couple of artfully hidden velcro strips, the castle
is big enough for grown-ups to crawl into and snooze, occasion permitting.

Needs to be huge. Hundreds of rooms, miles of passageways. |

How about tabs and slots, with the velcro inside the slots? |

Plush building blocks make a lot of sense. Need an extra chair ? Just get the other guests to sacrifice an armrest and a bit of the chair backs. |

We had plush building blocks, about 6" cube. I'd get my dad to spend hours building up a wall, then just as he set the last brick into place, I'd jump on it and knock it all down and make him do it again. |

Ours didn't have velcro, but with sufficient skill it wasn't necessary. |

It would be nice if it came with a means for periodic weighing, so one could track the added mass of dust mites over time. |

[21Q] "Like this only bigger" and covered in fur and made of foam... and *lots* bigger, think 5-6 foot high/wide/deep, big enough //for grown-ups to crawl into and snooze, occasion permitting// |

I'm absolutely amazed that something like this doesn't exist already! I've spent the last few hours searching online and these's nothing that I could find that's even remotely similar to this! Here's a well-deserved bun, good Baker! [+] |

[ph] well I've envisioned rather large cube/box shapes in the one to two foot diameter region, but you might want to look at [snoyes] comment here. I've thought up a better bonding mechanism though: use magnetic plates under the plush made of the same material in some refrigerator magnets (rubber with impregnated iron filings(?)). |
