LEGO Classic Castle

[Rafael Skibicki]

How about grouping Castle sets in this thread? I suggest we limit themes to 1980s, maybe up to ~1992:

(plain Legoland)
Crusaders
Black Falcons
Black Knights
Forestmen
Wolfpack

I'd say if they have kite shields (instead of regular "heater-shaped"), they're new themes (with large catalog) which should get separate threads.

My thanks go to Philippe Hurbain for the cowl included with the last update

I like these little sets, some notes though:

The brown hay fork, and the blacksmith's hammer are breaking the laws of physics
Also (very small point) it seems you build it facing the back side instead of the front side.

That glowing ghost is the last LEGO piece I still own. Luckily saved from a horrible fate (I needed some fluorescent material for a plastic model kit... fortunately paint did the job).

Bit of a necro post, but this thread was most fitting for this model, so please forgive me!  Also, this is my first post and first model.  I just rebuilt my first LEGO set (6054) and it's rekindled my interest!

Welcome here!
Nice model!!! I made some little adjustments, mainly realigned some angled parts (foliage, hinges) that were not precisely on studs (easy using LDCad snapping) and made a quick POV render.
Edit: Also changed roof color form dark azzure to standard blue.

Thanks!  I made this model in LeoCAD, and, as it was my first time using the program, I wasn't sure how to fine tune things like angles.  I have since installed LDCad and have started a new model to get to know the program.

I love the POV render!  What program did you use to make it?  I'd like to try playing around with making scenes.  Hopefully my old hardware can handle it.

I used the POV export of LDCad (view->editing view->export), and rendered it with POV 3.7. My hardware is not that recent either (2010)...
