I've become addicted to building alternative buildings from the LEGO sets. This time I've rebuilt Creator 3in1 castle (Medieval Castle of Mounted Knights 31168) and created an guarded inn with a watchtower.
The central element is a tall, stone watchtower with battlements and blue flags. It serves as an observation and defense point and can be accessed via a ladder.
Attached to the tower is a lower, stylish, residential building. It has a fully equipped, opening interior. The roof can be removed and the wall can be opened. One wall also features a stove with a chimney. Under the additional roof, you'll find some wood.
At the other end, a tree grows by the lake. There, you'll find a mysterious grave, over which the king leans.
As with other alternative builds I've prepared instructions this time as well. They've been tested numerous times by several people. They're simple, clear and easy to follow. It will provide hours of building fun :) Available to buy for a nominal fee. I encourage you to purchase it to support this website!
Some technical data:
92% (1256 of 1371) used of all the bricks in the set.
No additional parts needed.
Spare parts from the set are used.
Dimensions are 49 x 22 x 32 cm.
19,5 x 8,7 x 12,6 inches
(width x depth x height)
As usual, I've included a video, photos, and renders!
