The ranger of the king…

An intelligent tracker and hunter… swift and deadly with a bow, precise with sword and dagger… he moves silently through forests… unseen beneath the cloak of shadow… loyal, faithful, and curious… the finest spy a king could have.

I’ve read several reviews that said LKC is one of the best builds from Lego ever and this is my largest set to date at over 4500+ pieces, so to say I’m excited would be an understatement!

I was inspired by this fantastic Ideas submission (LINK), and I set out to create a version in a more vintage style. I obviously still use some key modern pieces, but I'm quite happy with the overall aesthetic and build. I grew up with BURPS so I don't mind them. Part count is 333, coincidentally the same as the River Fortress.

Let me know any suggestions! I am quite open to constructive criticism.

I’m looking for some of the pieces pictured here but they are both pretty expensive on bricklink and hard to find in any larger number. I’ve seen some knockoff versions on Ali express and I’m just wondering if anyone has any experience with these or any other knock off brands and what the quality of these are like?

Thanks

Been a few months since my last update here. Have made some more progress on my layout and thought I'd share. Worked the hill a lot more, adding in the rock work and tons of plates to smooth out the hill. Added a palisade wall around the top of the hill as well. Still need to add a lot more vegetation but like how the hill is coming out.

Also added a horse stable to the top of the hill. It is built from Blue Brixx design, but made entirely out of Lego. I took their instructions and built it in Stud.io and made substitutions where needed to make it actually buildable.

Eventually I'll either add to the mountain fortress or it'll be replaced entirely, but thats a project for a later time.

Hope you enjoy it.

This time, I added plants and other details to Blasource, which is very close to the final version. The prototype of Blasource is LEGO 6074. I had conceived the concept of this castle long time ago，it located on the border between the Raven and Lion Kingdom, with a relatively desolate surrounding environment，with very strong defensive properties, standing on a rock cliff.

IMO the playability of this castle is very high. It can be opened and closed from the center through hinges, and multiple places have been modularized. The castle has a winding underground water network and rich mechanisms and secret rooms. In addition, I have specially designed an inner castle to further enhance its defense function, making it worthy of the title “Raven Shield”.

I can't wait to build it, but I have to wait until I collect enough Raven Knights haha😂

Just finished this build with my partner who was never into Lego before meeting me and now they help me build. It's really neat watching them get as excited as I do with opening each new bag, inhaling the fresh plastic smell and seeing how it all comes together. Hands down, one of the best sets I've ever purchased!

I am a One Piece fan, so I most likely will buy it. What about castle only fans?

I was idling one evening with my old lego and here's what I got from 7016 with guest apperance of 7015. From the lack of better ideas I call it totem; also planning more lego vikings totems in the future.

This image was rejected by LEGO because it contains multiple scenes in a single picture.

However, it was created to clearly demonstrate the playability of the set.

Here’s how the action unfolds:

-The cart driver brings the boulder

-The boulder is lifted using the crane

-A Wolfpack worker pushes the boulder down the toboggan

-The boulder crashes into the enemy

What do you think about this play feature?

Every vote counts, so I’d really appreciate your support!

Thank you ❤️

This minifigure, “The Lord of Whalehaven,” is one of my personal favorites. The mustache and hair give him a certain charisma and individuality, while the weapon details and animal fur create a battle-hardened look. The battlements and guard post of the castle are simple but solidly built, just as I imagine Whalehaven would be. I hope you like it!
