Thank you again for the feedback and views! I did continue to iterate and submitted the project to the Bricklink Designer Program Series 5, you can support here: [Medieval High Street] [BrickLink] Final part count is ~3100 with full interiors. The scale and style of the buildings was intentionally set to bridge the gap between the Medieval Town Square and Medieval Blacksmith. The goal is that you could get all three (Town Square, Blacksmith and High Street) and create a single medieval town. Here are a few updated images, more images on Flickr (Medieval High Street | Flickr) and Instagram (arselus (@arselus.bricks) • Instagram photos and videos) Medieval High Street by Arselus Bricks, on Flickr Medieval High Street by Arselus Bricks, on Flickr Medieval High Street by Arselus Bricks, on Flickr Medieval High Street by Arselus Bricks, on Flickr

Excellent build, nice use of textured and smooth surfaces. Any chance you can show the dome structure/technique?

Great build. Really smart use of the Harry Potter windows. Lots of custom elements in here. Are the food tiles custom? And the chair cushions?

Thank you! Great advice, this is really helpful for planning, as giving it a critical look and comparing to existing offerings is really difficult for the person designing (too much heart involved)! I’ll keep iterating!

Thank you! That’s exactly the type of feedback I’m hoping for. I have some more ideas on improvements, but I’d love to keep hearing feedback.

As many have pointed out, this is truly excellent. If there was a way to replicate it without using so many parts/elements, it would be great. As it stand currently, due to part count and the complexity of executing this in stud.io, I think I couldn't use the technique.

This is the Medieval High Street, mostly it is a labor of love. This MOC combines portions of three of my previous MOCs (Medieval Butcher, Medieval Library, Medieval Miller, all designed back in 2021 and submitted to Ideas) and several small builds (vineyard, tree, barrel) to create the "High Street" of a medieval town. I started working on this in 2022 but left it behind. The recent announcement of the Medieval Town Square spurred me to try my own hand at a similar scene. The nice home on the left is a nobleman's house, the house on the right (red with tan thatch) is a trader's store and house. The tower in the center is the town watch. Many of the elements included do not exist in these colors (it uses the "Main" palette in Bricklink Studio). At some point in the future (some version) of this might appear on Lego Ideas or in the Bricklink Designer Program. More renders are on Flickr and I'll probably keep posting updates to IG. Contains 3600 parts, no interiors yet. What do you think? What should I change, add or remove? If this ever appears in a program like the Bricklink Designer Program, I'd love to have some input from the EB community to make it better.

Thank you very much, the architecture of the tower was really fun to design. I love medieval architecture. Thank you, it gives it a Roman-ruins feel, I could see someone reading a book (or scroll) somewhere around there. I also love the minifigures repurposed as statues. Thank you, yes I agree, this makes it particularly fitting for a medieval build.

Please support on LEGO Ideas! Hi Eurobricks, I present my newest addition to my Medieval Artisans: the Medieval Library. It is inspired by Romanesque and English Gothic architecture, and is currently up on LEGO Ideas. Please support the project if like it. It is 2700 pieces total, and has a fully detailed interior. As a "thank you" to the forum community here, I'm also posting a picture of an "alternate" version of the same build, that looks more like a medieval church bell tower. I hope you enjoy!

Please support on LEGO IDEAS: LEGO IDEAS - Medieval Castle: Guarded Grocer The medieval village grows! Welcome to the Guarded Grocer! The Forestmen have returned, hearing Robin's call for help. They've raided the Grocer and taken the Black Falcons by surprise. Robin has been freed from his long captivity (in the tower) and the Forestmen are busy at work to return the turnips, carrots, cherries, pumpkins and lettuce to the people. "These vegetables belong to the people!" -Robin "Huzzah!" -The Forestmen "We'll be back to collect taxes!" -The Black Falcons "Give me a break." -The Grocer This build inspired by the classic castle theme and classic sets like (6067) Guarded Inn and the (10185) Green Grocer. The build contains 2866 parts total. Please leave comments and feedback about what you like and what you'd like to see in future builds.

I've got a new project up on IDEAS that I'd like to share: the Medieval Miller (Windmill) Please support it here: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/b71ea9c0-aedc-48f8-9e11-bf80fac2eb10 Medieval Miller (Windmill) [LEGO Ideas] by arselus, on Flickr The story of the Forestmen continues... Come visit the Medieval Miller. He works hard by day at the windmill, milling the village wheat and making flour. His wife bakes excellent bread (she is also featured in the Medieval Butcher Ideas set). In fact, his life was very plain and simple, and has been so for many years. But one strange and stormy Saturday night, a mysterious seagull carrying a written note found his way to the top of the Windmill. "Captured, captive, need help. -Robin" the note read. Reading the note, the Miller was spurred to action. He immediately began drawing up plans to reunite the Forestmen, find Robin, and launch a daring rescue.

This is awesome povoq! Thank you for sharing. Are you targeting the $150-200 USD price range? Congrats - so exciting!

I agree, those black falcon flags are great. I bet we get some (1?) in the creator castle set rumored for summer 2021. I would also love the forestmen's hat in red - we can only hope. This is a valid point - I thought about that a bit, but really wanted to do the stone work, and also wanted to have the character be a carpenter. So I tried mixing. I've seen brilliant renditions of stonemasons: (Andhe's work on Flickr, I'm sure he's known..) Until I can create something original, I wouldn't want to copy this stonemason (which I think is totally great.) I agree with this logic too. That deer head sculpt is clearly for a kingly castle, though thematically the Lion Knight Sheriff doesn't approve. I would so hope for a series of medieval artisans, that Brickfanatics article (that I think interviewed Wes and Austin) really pointed to it. Seems Wes has already asked some of their leadership if they could do something like this, a series of Medieval Modulars.

You noticed that huh ;) The whole point of this MOC and Ideas entry is to get that flag reprinted :) JK, but it really would be awesome to have that. Thank you all for the support!! It's nearing 2k supporters now.

I've got one more to add, it's been on Ideas for a few weeks now, and steadily gathering support. The Medieval Carpenter. The backstory is that he used to be one of the Forestmen (along with the Medieval Butcher), and now lives a more quiet life - until Robin is in need :) LEGO IDEAS - Medieval Carpenter Medieval Carpenter (LEGO Ideas) by arselus, on Flickr Medieval Carpenter (LEGO Ideas) - The Carpenter - Scarecrow by arselus, on Flickr Medieval Carpenter (LEGO Ideas) - The Carpenter by arselus, on Flickr Medieval Carpenter (LEGO Ideas) - Workshop by arselus, on Flickr
