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?

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.

The unprinted panels do exist in light bluish gray - came in sets 7094 and 7037.

Oh, thanks, my mistake.

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.

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:

That looks better than window / wall panels!

This looks really great!

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.
