Captain Fortune Posted January 1 Posted January 1 Hi everyone, I want to try a project -it could be considered a MOC- consisting of building a new version of the classic 6081 King's Mountain Fortress. I would also add te new minifigures. It would be the same exact set, but only using new pieces in the new colors (except de raised baseplate, that I would use the original one). It shouldn't be complicated, given that it's all about changing the old grey by new grey, but there's a problem with the "one block walls" from the old set. I tried Rebrickable (I have used it to buy instructions, etc) but I am in trouble when it comes to create my own design. Is someone able to help me with this? Quote

I think @Captain Fortune's problem is, that the old wall panels only exist in old (light or dark) gray. My suggestion for a solution: @Captain Fortune you should brick build these wall panels with bricks and arches in new light gray. Quote
Cyprinus Posted January 2 Posted January 2 The unprinted panels do exist in light bluish gray - came in sets 7094 and 7037. Quote

MAB Posted January 5 Posted January 5 Why are you doing it? If it is to make something that can be built with modern parts, then it might be worth doing some MOC work and designing a replacement base from modern parts a bit like LEGO have done on the reimagined new versions of vintage sets. Quote
Corydoras Posted January 5 Posted January 5 Just replace the panels with regular bricks. Use lots of masonry profile ones, they gve the walls a very nice look! See my remake of set 6080 King's Castle: Quote
KotZ Posted January 7 Posted January 7 Also if you did want to do the raised baseplate out of pieces, the newer Eldorado Fortress set from Pirates is a great starting point. Quote
