leafan Posted February 12, 2020 Author Posted February 12, 2020 I am so happy that this is being made. At last, Castle fans have *something* significant to look forward to. I have added a note to the index and also @Digger of Bricks I've added The Mountain Windmill by Hanwasyellowfirst, thanks. Quote

I think they'll probably have to tweak the design a great deal, but I'm happy just to be getting a slice of civilian Castle again. I think the Lego design team will make the following changes to the MEDIEVAL BLACKSMITH. -reduce parts for the building (simplify roof build, and walls) -For the grass they'll use some plates, at best something similar to the treehouse. -I think they'll change the color for the grass, i'd add a lot of normal green and dark green instead of sand green -Add a lot of medium nougat color to the structure itself or exteriour details, maybe even delete the grass and have a medium nougat colored ground -Eliminate almost all the 1 x 4 printed tiles. They'll maybe keep some of them just for around the windows. Possibly some prints for 1x6 or 1x8 tiles -2 color for the leaves on the tree instead of 4 colors. -Some things do not seem very solid (roofs and support structure) it needs to be build in a completely different way. Probably very much simplified. -as minifigures I think the 3rd should be a soldier (with his horse) in addition to, the smith and his wife. -probably less animals : if they keep the goat and horse they'll suppress the owl; maybe even the chickens. -I'd like to see the smith at work outside, (display value) They could create an opening or an outside workplace like the other lego ideas blacksmith project. If they think it changes too much the original project I think they'll have to create hinges to open the build completely just like the old blacksmith set 3739 from 2002. I think the goal would be a set for 100 to 130 $ or €, that means a huge part decrease compared to the original idea. It will be a modern version of set 3739, with a part count between 1000 and 1400 It could seem a little disappointing but i don't care that much. We got a medieval set !!! Maybe even a goat !so i don't care. I'll come back later so see how wrong (or right) I was. What do you think they'll do? Quote

I agree with you, making it more compact, practical and well...cheaper is a good direction. Easier to sell and promote later castle themes. This may well be a great homage to the classic Blacksmith Shop, which was also a SEC back in the days if I'm correct. Any size between this and the idea version would be very well welcomed by me.

As long as they give us all the animals or even more I will be happy For me it is fine they reduce the scale so it looks more in line with mill village raid and medieval market village, but I am not so sure they will do it Quote
leafan Posted February 13, 2020 Author Posted February 13, 2020 @povoq I agree with most of your theories on the redesign. I also think that your own submission will be the next Castle set to be approved. It's gaining support akin to the rate of The Pirate Bay. Quote
Jcreations912 Posted February 13, 2020 Posted February 13, 2020 I cant wait to see the Medieval blacksmiths get made!! Its gonna be so cool! Quote
leafan Posted February 13, 2020 Author Posted February 13, 2020 (edited) Welcome to Eurobricks, @Jcreations912! I'm glad you took my invitation to join us here. I hope your project, LEGO Robin Hood, gets to 10k quickly! It's a great idea and we discussed it somewhat earlier in this very thread. I also added your earlier creation, The King's Castle Gatehouse, ages ago. Another worthy idea. Edited February 13, 2020 by leafan Quote

LEGO Ideas - Princess June's Castle by legolux1973 Hello Digger of Bricks and the rest of the forum. @Digger of Bricks Thank you very much for posting my project in this thread. I was really surprised and happy when I saw this post in Google. I knew Eurobricksforum since a longer time as a reader (I'm collecting Star Wars, so most of my MOCs go more into the direction of Spaceships / Star Wars) but I was never aware of this huge and great Medieval / Castle section. Really nice, so much tutorials, information and wonderfull MOCs. Some days ago I was finally able to finish my castle in real bricks, here are 2 pictures of it. RealPrincessJuneCastlePic01 by legolux1973, on Flickr RealPrincessJuneCastleGroupPic by legolux1973, on Flickr I hope you like the castle. If you have questions, feel free to ask me. Ideas for enhancements (I'm actually working on a huge list of "bugs" ) are also very welcome. Regards, legolux1973 Edited February 20, 2020 by legolux1973 Too large images Quote
leafan Posted February 20, 2020 Author Posted February 20, 2020 @legolux1973 Firstly, welcome to Eurobricks! I hope you stay and join with our community. Your Idea is fantastic and deserves to get to 10k support for review. Thanks for the extra photos and for saying hello! Quote

The pirate Bay and a few other ideas did a little better (the best was untitled goose game that got 5000 votes in 5 days !) But I won't complain :-) with mostly more than a 100 votes a day it's a huge success already ! I still hope to make it to the first 2020 review Some ideas that were very famous get completely forgotten. Sheriff's Safe only got 7 votes yesterday ! We'll see how it goes... Quote
