The Raven
King’s territory has grown and villagers in farer lands around the castle are
hard to protect. Therefore, the king sent his best knight, Sir Marcus
Briggerton, to build an outpost in the new lands. Together
with his best fighters, Sir Marcus now defends the newest fortress against old
foes.
The Background:
It’s been a
few years now since we got the last Castle/Kingdoms sets.
Always
offering great play sets, the line never gave us a castle that is designed
mainly for display.
Therefore,
I tried to create one myself.
The Model:
My goal was
to build a fortress that has highly detailed walls and a round bergfried
(donjon).
The Castle
Outpost is built stable and modular, while using only common and recent pieces
in also current colors. It measures approximately 43x56x37 studs.
Only the
Knights are custom made and inspired by the new CMF Series 20 Tournament Knight.
I think the black/bright light orange color scheme is a fresh touch to a
classic theme.
The Features:
The Castle
Outpost has interior spaces with kitchen, dormitory, lord of the castle’s room,
armory and prison.
The towers
come with functional and rotatable catapults and the castle courtyard, accessible
through the openable gate, offers a horse stable and a functional well.
Comes with
9 Minifigures: Sir Marcus, 7 of his knights and a farmhand
I hope you
like it. Feel free to comment, share and – of course – support the Castle
Outpost.
