EDIT: The title should be: AoM: Store Phase 2: Danyel's Smithy.

If a mod could fix that, it'd be great.

An entry into the Castle Goes to Space contest on classic-castle. I chose to redesign the set 5890, Squidman's Pitstop, into a medieval blacksmith shop. I'm really pleased with how this turned out, and it was very fun transforming the space details in the set into medieval features.

Danyel is a capable blacksmith that never lacks for work at his smithy, and his wares are often sold by his wife in the market at Daydelon.

Space set it's based off of:

Nice re-design! I miss the days of space-police 3.

Neat-o!

I want more like that! It's just superb, without being to big or using any very rare parts or techniques! Your base is really cool, as is your Window and smithy! The interior is really nice detailed!

Nice! I like that you've used the beard on the post to look like snow- my favourite amongst some cool details!

Many great details as said by others! I like the fact that IT looks like some tlg could release. Great work.

Nice little build SK. I really like variety of "vehicles" you included to match the original set and that structure is gorgeous as always!

Nice build. Many details ! You did a great job.

Cute workshop with some great details, I really like the use of the beard pieces as snow

What was your backdrop and lighting setup when you took these pictures?

Excellent blacksmith shop! The roof is superb and I like the sign

Nice work with little snow bases too

Nice wooden textures here. And I like the carriage a lot.

Very nice build, I really like the little bits of snow everywhere! I must say that the sign looks a little strange to me, but I suppose it was on the space build! The cut-away roof and the interior are great!

The building is well done, without all of the wooden details. Great job not using a square base, one day I'll get to that point.

Great build with lots of fun details! Those snowy pods and that wagon look great. However I'm not a big fan of the beard as snow, it just doesn't quite look natural to me.

Much better than the space set where the inspiration was drawn from!

Lovely build SK, I have to say I far prefer this to the one you were working off of! Great job on the patches of snow, and the house and smithy are excellent as well!

Thanks, I never acquired and Space Police 3 sets, but did always think they were cool

Thanks! This was one of my funnest builds in a while, small enough to go quickly, but big enough to work plenty of detail in

Thanks LV, I picked up that trick from some of Brother Steven's builds and have found it useful several times.

Thank you, glad you noticed the 'vehicle' matchup

Thanks Gideon! I used a fabric background, and the lighting was just natural light, on an overcast day. I was super pleased with these pictures, hardly even had to do any editing.

Thanks Jacob, I've found that wagon/carriage design to be useful a couple of times

Thanks Kai, and yeah the sign was kind of tricky to do medieval style.

Thanks! And I hope so, as I had way fewer limitations than the actual set designers
