Description

A workshop for the castle

Every medieval scene needs craftsmen as well as knights, and this little forge fills that gap. It belongs to the Lion Knights, one of the earliest castle lines. Two minifigures bring the workshop to life, so you can stage a simple everyday story around tools and weapons straight away. With 93 pieces the model is compact, but it works nicely next to larger castles, where there is usually room for a smith somewhere along the wall or at the edge of the courtyard.

Stone grey with warm accents

Light grey dominates, since the walls and the working area are built mostly from grey bricks. Red, black and blue provide the accents. The box holds 37 different parts, which is quite a lot of variety for such a small set. The parts list on this page shows which of them appear in large numbers and which only once. That is useful if you want to rebuild the set or gather particular elements for a medieval diorama of your own.

From the shelf into your own castle

Castle collectors often place the forge inside a bigger scene and use it as an eye-catcher at the edge. The individual bricks are just as reusable, whether for walls, huts or stables. The “What can I build?” tool tells you which other sets could be put together from your existing stock. That way an old batch of bricks becomes a starting point for new castles, villages and market squares without any extra shopping.

Play it or display it

The two minifigures make the forge a good play set: one works at the fire while the other drops by as a customer. It is just as good on a shelf, because the grey building looks calm and fits in well with other Lion Knights sets. If you are short on space, this is a model that does not take up much room and still shows a clear motif that everybody recognises at once.
