Hey Marshall,

Good question. I haven't decided yet. When browsing thingiverse.com, I came across several exciting paint designs. If I can get some good ideas of what looks best, I may go for it and paint it. I imagine the paint job will take months to complete. Painting the castle would be a lot of fun and rewarding when completed. Here's some example paint designs below.

A friend of mine had an excellent idea to use lighting. We ran a few quick tests to see how light penetrates through the castle. A basic Amazon 200 lumen LED flashlight shines right through a good amount of the castle, all the way from the bottom to the top. I have some flat LED tape lighting on order from Amazon.
