[MOC] Black Knight's Outpost

[John Cromwell]

I was sitting around not doing much yesterday and decided to build a small outpost for my Black Knights. I also decided to limit myself to using the bricks from Skeleton Surprise and Black Monarch's Ghost to build it. I broke that rule to include one light gray 4x4 plate and a dark gray ladder and black 1x2 with side bar. (and the baseplate, obviously.)

So, without further ado, here's what I came up with after about an hour of redesigning.

Right side view:

Rear view:

Left side:

Interior, and a callback to the original Skeleton Surprise:

And the overhead view:

It includes around 120 pieces, (not including minifigures) and three minifigures, a mounted knight, a swordsman, and a crossbowman.

If it was an actual set from 1992, being similar to the 6057 Sea Serpent, it would probably clock in at $15.50 retail price.

Highlights would be the printed wall panel, brown bird, and blue plumes on the knight.                                                            Side note: Lego never released a set for the Black Knights that included the full blue dragon plumes (side ones as well). We had to wait until the Dragon Masters.

 

I included it in a short story that can be seen on my Flickr page.

Feedback appreciated! Let me know what you think!

Looks like a set LEGO might have made.  The toadstools are a nice touch.  The back wall is a bit too flat for my taste, but overall looks good.
