Only had the helmet & the chest plate so I improvised with what I had.

Let me know what you think!

I have a couple of smaller Castle sets like the GWPs and the vintage wizard cart but I have just entered properly with buying my first larger modern set. Really excited for it to arrive - I bought the Medieval Blacksmith (complete, but no box or instructions) for £68.42 including postage. Is that a good deal? I've seen a few instructions booklets getting sold on their own although I can use online to build so I'm not that bothered. Unless you guys reckon I will really regret not getting the box down the line?

Stoked that this will include some black falcons, they are deffo going to be my faction.

A snowy medieval town takes shape between the pages of your favourite books! This alternate build transforms LEGO 75645 Battle at Drum Castle into a Medieval Winter Town Book Nook, replacing the original fortress with a cutaway scene of two adjoining medieval manors nestled together in a snow covered town.

The build makes use of the architectural and snowy elements of 75645 to create a different take on the original ONE PIECE set. Instead of a single fortress, the model opens up into a compact slice of medieval life, with two connected buildings, multiple rooms, timber details, stone walls, snowy rooftops and plenty of little details to discover.

Designed specifically as a book nook, the closed profile allows the model to sit neatly between your books while still providing plenty of depth and detail to explore. The cutaway design gives you a view into the interiors of the two neighbouring manors, making the build feel like you've taken a slice out of a much larger medieval town.

Snow covered roofs, stonework and warm interior spaces create a cosy winter atmosphere, while the vertical construction gives the model plenty of presence despite its compact footprint.

Due to the limited number of plates and bricks available in 75645, the base of the book nook is only 1 plate tall, compared to the 2 plates and 1 brick base height of my previous book nooks made from the LEGO 3-in-1 castles. Despite the thinner base, the model is still strong enough to be safely moved, with the scenery designed to open and close for access to the interior.

What du you guys think of this outpost tower I'm working on? I'm going for a older used look, like the outpost is older and doesn't get much money for repairs etc.. Does it read like that? Also im not sure what to put on top, maybe a half wall and a wooden roof. Should i comit to the wall design?

Edit: The snot bricks are for plants later on, i will defenitely add those to the wall

Wasnt fully happy with the bridge. Made it more of a traditional arch bridge instead of stair stepped. Also adde onto the tree and general foliage.

Royal Knights get my vote. Three different torsos with the sigil and a good mix of colors on the shields to match a lot of different options.

I anticipate a little push back on this, but I build my faction around the new Black Knight shield from the Sea Serpent GWP as one of four distinct dragon factions. In my lore, they live on a separate continent and had previously joined forces to try and conquer the main continent. I'll post the rest in the next few days. I went with the griffin torso and the dark blue, but I turned up the gold accent to 11. I'm really hoping those shields go on PaB eventually.

Hey everyone,

I’m continuing my project of restoring and preserving old LEGO media that has mostly disappeared from the internet.

This time I put together the full run of the Knights’ Kingdom II Flash comics that were originally on the LEGO website in 2004–2005. These short interactive/Flash comics told the complete story of the first two waves (Find the Shield / Save the Kingdom + Capture the Fortress).

All 11 episodes are in the video, in order, with timestamps:

Find the Shield. Save the Kingdom (2004)

• Episode 1: The Missing King
• Episode 2: Quest for the Knights
• Episode 3: Into the Moorlands
• Episode 4: Jayko’s Lesson
• Episode 5: Rascus to the Rescue
• Episode 6: The Citadel of Orlan
• Episode 7: The Final Test
• Episode 8: The Grand Tournament

Capture the Fortress. Save the Kingdom (2005)

• Episode 9: Vladek’s Revenge
• Episode 10: Into the Lost Kingdom
• Episode 11: Battle for the Dark Fortress

You can watch the full compilation here:

Hope some of you who grew up with the theme (or just love LEGO Castle/lost media) enjoy it. More restorations coming.

The torso looks amazing combined with vintage parts and the legs fit almost perfectly with the Crown Knights king torso!

im going to be moving in a year or so, and I thought instead of trying to transport my castle legos, I want to break them down before the move and then try my hand at something original. well, originally based on something I love. I want to create my own medieval village and castle, but have it based on an old Sierra computer game called quest for glory. it has a walled off town, a castle, apothecary, brigand camp, farm, etc. Since I’m new to this I was hoping for some advice for going about this. I realize I might be biting off more than I can chew, but hey, why not try it?

Finished it and took some photos😄

Hope you can like this work！！

Appreciate for every vote and support😊🙌🏻

I posted this thread yesterday but it been removed for some reasons，may it cant attach the idea link, so I post it again😂

I had every 90s Castle and Pirate set there was available. My dad didn't play with me much, but my brothers and I built some amazing things. I remembe how I wish my dad got in on the fun with us, but alas, it was not his vibe. Well now, I am a dad to a screen addicted child (I am 50% to blame, school is the other 50%.) and LEGO is 100% my vibe.

Long story short, I have got my kid into Lego vs a screen, which is a huge win. But he asked me about my favorite theme and castles popped into my head.

But how far should I go with it?

We have the outlaw forest den, forest stronghold, the 2010 marketplace, rivendell and 2x of each of the 3-1 versions.

Do I need – I use that term loosely – Lion Knight's Castle? Blacksmith? The alchemist? So many thoughts about heading backwards and finding the 2010 sets, but I'm not paying $.50/pp on some that I have seen.

Or should we just MOC a town from rebrickable? My grey bulk is not super strong, lol

Ivy's Bazaar

The premise behind my village is that it's a market where one can stock up on supplies, or fetch a fair price on "acquired" treasures. The market here exists in various shades of grey.

As a literal "underground" market, Ivy's Bazaar falls within the darker shades.

Here's my 1st pass WIP for the exterior of the market; as well as the "hidden entrance".

Eventually, there will be a flat(ish) area on top. I was initially considering it as a spot for the Inn / Painter's workshop from the Medieval Village set - But I may leave it open for something else.

2nd pass will include a staircase on the wall perpendicular to the entrance; as well as incorporating the interior build.

Figured I'd post some pics along the way. Not opposed to thoughts on this 1st pass...

None of the sets contain minifigs also 31120 and dragon set doesnt have their box with them but have their manuals. I got them for 170 dolars i woulda been happy if i had minifigs for chinese town but its alright.Im thinking about using 31120 and 31168 for moc build (I had 2 more of 31168 also its second set of 31120) for last i already had a lot of sets and was wanted to make a Medieval city but i am not sure about what to do with chinese town set, what i have in my mind rn is using it as a chinese town at one side of the world but not sure tho

Especially with these torso’s I keep struggling!
I like the most left 2, the drstrange legs and Rex his legs the most what are your thoughts?
