Deep in the heart of Mossflower Woods, woodland creatures find refuge within the stately sandstone fortress known far and wide as Redwall Abbey. Rats, stoats, ferrets, and weasels beware! The mice and squirrels of the abbey strive for peace with all, but if their way of life or their families are threatened, the defenders of Redwall will rise to the occasion and courageously stand against the miscreancy of evil. With their friends the hares, otters, and occasional badgers, the good woodlanders have defended themselves against theft, betrayal, and siege within the mighty walls of the abbey. And legend has it that a great mouse from the past, Martin the Warrior, will come to the aid of Redwallers in their deepest hours of need. His famous sword and shield hang in the Great Hall, a continuous testament to the valor and courage their bearer possessed.
The Series
Redwall began as a single book by British author Brian Jacques, but as its popularity grew, he expanded it into a series of over twenty installments. It depicts the adventures of various woodland creatures, mainly rodents and birds, defend Mossflower Woods from invaders and explore the broader world. Rewall Abbey, their home, is the central location in most of the novels. This fantasy series became a quick favorite, eventually being made into a TV series as well.
The Abbey
This is Redwall Abbey, the home of the peaceful woodland creatures of Mossflower. The grounds and buildings of the abbey contain many details, including the following:
- The mighty outer walls to withstand invasion
- The Great Hall where the sword, shield, and tapestry of Martin the Warrior are housed
- Cavern Hole, the official eatery and bakery, in which many a feast has been had
- The dormitories, for recovery after a long day
- The abbey pond, a great spot for relaxation and fishing
- The bell tower which houses the great Joseph Bell, ready to peal out its many messages
- And many more details!
A Note about Minifigures
I will be the first to say the tiny mice, squirrels, etc. scattered throughout are a bit underwhelming. Unfortunately, many of the anthropomorphic animal parts available (such as a rabbit head, for instance) are not in the part list of Studio, currently, where this project was created. The only true minifigure currently in the set is Martin the Warrior in full battle armor. I have full faith, however, that were this made into a set, the ramparts of the castle could be fairly readily furnished with woodlander minifigures brandishing a whole array of weaponry.
Thanks for checking this out. I hope you enjoyed your perusal.
Piece count: right around 3000 :)
