Description

Life outside the castle walls

Most castle sets are about walls and towers. This one shows what happens in front of them: a market square where people trade, work and live. At 1,619 pieces it is large enough for several buildings and stalls, and eight minifigures stand in for merchants, craftsmen and villagers. If you like telling small stories, there is more to work with here than in a pure battle set, because something is going on in every corner.

Timber, slate and stone

Reddish brown, black, light bluish grey and tan define the village. Reddish brown suggests timber framing, black stands for roofs and ironwork, and light bluish grey for stonework. The 166 different part types supply barrels, windows, roof tiles and accessories, which give the square its depth. A full breakdown of colours and quantities is available in the parts list on this page, so you can check what you already own. Windows and barrels in particular are useful for dressing up every other building in your collection.

Building and dressing the scene

The appeal of this set is that you build several smaller structures one after another. That brings a sense of progress at short intervals, unlike a single huge model. Afterwards you dress the village: set out the stalls, spread the goods and place the figures. The houses are open enough to play with and can be rearranged at will, so the village looks different every time you come back to it.

Combining with other sets

The village goes well with castles from the same era, because it supplies the surrounding countryside that they often lack. It is also handy for diorama projects, since roofs, barrels and timber-frame pieces are so versatile. Use the “What can I build?” tool on this page to see which other sets you could make from your collection plus these pieces. Over time the village can grow into a whole landscape that you rearrange whenever you like. Because the pieces are not tied to one model, even a single stall can be moved to another scene without much effort.
