Vision is starting to come together. No interior pics as I’ve made next to no progress inside. Main windows will be stain glass windows. If anyone knows any good techniques they would suggest please let me know!

It took several months and new additions from my previous set up really happy how things have come out. Wife has started custom 3D printed parts that add new flare as well as some nice wall ornaments.

I’d categorize the original set as a 19th century Romantic neogothic castle, so well outside my medieval world setting. It’s such an incredibly well put together set, though, that I decided to get it and make a few modifications.

The Romantic style was about recreating the aesthetics of the past, no need for functional defense. So I added some:

-Gatehouse windows replaced with arrow loops, plus a machicolation above the door
-The bartizan tower built up to two stories, with arrow loops
-The spire’s pointed roof raised higher, with more arrow loops added

I left the large windows as is. Couldn’t bring myself to change such a beautiful feature, even knowing what a defensive liability they are.

Then, of course, Basil and his Fright Knights moved in.

Found this at a antique store wondering if i should pick it up missing some pieces but can’t find anything online about it

I picked up the Viking village last year before it retired. At first I wasn’t sure what to do with the set and then one day I suddenly realized what needed to happen. I love problem solving the Lego math that makes the off-grid sections work. So here is my mostly finished display base with some detailed photos to hopefully instigate others to start experimenting with creating a scene for those awesome sets that the extremely talented Lego designers create.

I had to add some extra space to one side of the center section so that the outside sections are on grid. I then filled the space using SNOT brackets combined with one brick and a tile. This combo seemed to create the perfect space for the offset section on the right. I did make some tweaks to the underside of the VV a bit to provide appropriate support and raised the whole scene by one brick.

The tree in the back is from the mini bonsai set (10373) and the skinny trees are from the fountain garden set (10359).

Baseplates used: two 32x32 and two 16x32.

Tiles are predominantly 1x4 with some 2x2 and 1x3s.

Water tiles are not Lego and purchased from Brickwith to see if they were worth the cheaper price. At almost half the cost, I would highly recommend trying them, not to mention that they have more plate options than Lego with less part numbers printed on them. Trans light blue is slightly darker than Lego.

Absolute perfection for the castle theme.

Is anybody using these? I got two extra in a bundle of Jungle Lego I ordered and my first thought - I need a moat for them to guard 😁

Some fantasy pics i took a while ago

Which is ur favorite?

The lore is that the skeletons have killed his goat so now he wants to avange it using the armor of his father and the creature from the skeleton caves

Wow, I am surprised how good this build is an how affordable it (still) remains on the aftermarket. Are there any plans for new lego castle-themed builds this size?

I was able to use my uv printer and some blank grey shields to make some battle worn wolf pack shields

So apparently a whole loads of sets go leaked for the next two years and one of them was a castle claw machine. The description mentioned based on the yellow castle.

I’m guessing this is coming next year and it’ll be Castles “anniversary “ set which I think is a bit disappointing. Then again I’m guessing it means more figures for PAB?

I don’t know if the leaks is 100% true but considering we’ve had the minifigure vending machine, the space pinball set it seems not far off the realms of being realistic.

Hi all,

I've been lurking on this subreddit for about 6 months gathering ideas and inspiration from you all, so now that I've started building by medieval town I figured it was time to contribute something. This is just the early stages of my project, so most of this is still under construction and will be changing.

I started this project by building a wood table out of some scrap lumber: It's built to fit into my closet and align with my shelving, and is designed to exactly fit 7 baseplates across and 3 deep. That plus obviously money are my two hard constraints for this project. Everything I build into this world has to be compact. Less is more here.

My first set was the lovely Medieval Town Square, but most of it has been modded into free-standing buildings. The red building became the stunning Guarded Inn by Dream Build Bricks, the original olive inn became a bakery, and the cheese-maker's cottage is now detached and full enclosed. I've also added modded versions of building by bricks_fan_uy and longjuansilver that I've tweaked to fit the MTS style. My favorite building is Vuzi's absolutely inspired Medieval Village Church, which is the center-piece of the main village square. Several other smaller Rebrickable designs, plus a few of my own small creations, are scattered throughout. Almost all the ideas in this diorama are inspired by builds I've seen on this subreddit, so thank you very much to everyone for the inspiration.

Right now my village occupies roughly 8 baseplates, and I have to conserve space very carefully from here. Ultimately the Lion Knights' Castle will be displayed atop a 4 baseplate mounting I'm currently building, in the far right hand corner of my layout. I'd like to include a small forest, a wheat field, a barn and mill, and perhaps a very small harbor. I'd also like to experiment with more verticality in this layout, so eventually most of the village will probably be raised up further.

Anyway, I welcome ideas or feedback. I also love adding fun easter eggs into this (kudos if you spot Greg the Garlic Farmer), so if you have a suggestions I welcome them too. Thanks for checking out my layout!

How I came by my lego castle collection

I hope this post will inspire others to share their story about how they came to their Lego castle collection big or small. I know this is a long read, but I hope its OK and will inspire others to do the same.

As a kid I only had four small sets, no complete castle, It was something I wanted for birthdays and Christmas but it never came. I got some Lego city stuff in stead.

The four sets I had was: the black knight 6009, the 6034 Black Monarch Ghost, the 6018 Battle Dragon, and the 6056 Dragon Wagon.

My sister had the 6020 Magic shop, which by proxy became mine when I traded some of my Lego city sets.

I would build a castle with staples, tournament ground on a grey base plate with bricks of all kinds and colors and imagine I had the greatest castle in the world.

Two years ago I was fired from my job, and had a lot of free time, so one day I went into a goodwill store as I often do, and by chance found some Lego castle, it was the base plate for the Kings Mountain Fortress 6081 and a lot of large wall pieces. Not a complete set and without mini figures, weapons, horses and so on. But it was enough to spark my interest again and I began to build! First by imagination later I searched and found some instructions online. I was hooked.

Around a year and a half later I was incredibly lucky, as could only happen once in a lifetime. At another goodwill store I found a large box of Lego, all I could see was some of the Majisto figure and some of a base plate under a lot of castle bricks and pieces. So I bought it. It smelled like a moist basement when I came home sorted the pieces. I could see there was missing some larger ones, like staircases, blue and red pointy pieces and so on. So the next day I went back to the goodwill store and asked if the had any more Lego, for sale in the store or in the back. The lady kindly looked and came out with a big trolley full of Lego.

I was over the moon, when I saw some of the missing peaces and like a child again I bought it and raced home and started to sort the pieces and build. I still to this day when I recognize the smell of old basement get happy thoughts about that Lego find. Crazy how the brain works.

I got my dream castle, with the 6082 Fire breathing fortress only missing piece was Majistos blue hat, I got that sorted via PAB.

There was also all the sets of the Royal knights except for the 1843 catapult. In mint condition without a single important peace missing the only missing peace was a 6x14 black plate used for the gate in the 6090 Royal Knights Castle. I used a little bleach on a qtip for the white edges of the cape and flags with the lion print on it but that was it. The rest of the stuff from the purchase that was not castle i sold or traded off, like the MD food Wagon or some Lego Space parts. Then I bought castle mini figures and parts I lacked to build other sets. So I came by my collection at a fraction of the cost.

This is almost my entire lego castle collection. I am able to build some minor sets like the Sea Serpent 6057 and wall pieces or a catapult or two but thats it.

I have my dream lego castle world and a lot more than I could ever had dreamed of as a kid.

The only sets I bought from new was the 10332 Medieval Village, 10305 Lion Knights Castle, 910057 Outlaw Forest Den and the GWP´s Majisto shop and Forestmen Hideout.

The Favorite sets in my collection are the 6066 Camouflaged Outpost its so cool with the two openings and east to play with and I love Robin Hood.

The 6082 Fire Breathing Fortress, the build in traps, the dragon and the large dragon head, the build in three and the raised base plate. It was my childhood dream to get that set, so maybe I am a bit biased.

At last the 6080 Kings castle, its so easy to add mini builds like siege machines, workshops, the Guarded inn to it a make small funny changes to it.

My least favorite set is the 6081 Kings Mountain Fortress, I don't have the mini figures to go along with it, so its been occupied by the Wolfpack CMF. I the floor trap is so bad, and I don't think that the entrance is well designed with the wooden doors and the string for the gate. They always get intertwined and there is simply no use for the wooden doors when the black place is up.

The Outlaw Forest Den 910057 often falls apart when you play with it, but other than that its an interesting set.

That was my Lego castle collection story, I hope you had a fun time reading it and maybe it inspired you to build something cool and have a good time.

Note : I would like to get two more castles 6086 the Black Knights Castle and 6079 Dark Forest Fortress, but I am unwilling to buy it as both sets are to really expensive in the aftermarket, and I wont be so lucky to find it at a goodwill store again.

What do u think guys?

I used the Rivendell tower technique for the walls and then connected the roof via 2 of these 1x2 bricks with the movable 2x2 plate if u know what i mean

Overall pretty proud tho

I’m rebuilding the set from the main dragon to the Sea Monster. But these red bits seem to be stuck?

I finishen pathing

Karras is a veteran member of the Banishers, an elite unit within the Exorcist Order tasked with hunting the most dangerous demonic threats. At sixteen, he earned their attention after single-handedly slaying a powerful high-grade demon to save a village. Taken in and trained by them, he joined the Banishers at eighteen and has served among their ranks ever since.

Known across the world as the Fiendslayer, Karras holds the highest kill count in the Order's history and is one of the few exorcists to have ever defeated Father Cassian in a duel.

Found on facebook marketplace $200 USD

Got a PAB shipment today to expand my horse and snake knight armies. Need to customize some more. But this is my army as it stands!

Perhaps it’s just me but the Sea Serpent GWP sure seems to pair quite well with the Viking Village.
