Gainn Posted February 7, 2021 Posted February 7, 2021 (edited) I have seen this configuration of bricks once. But where was it from? An official set, a pic from an ideas book? I just can't remember. The configuration itself is fantastic. Shows how well thought all these bricks are. You mix 3 type of bricks which do not have any relation with each other into something totally new.

Fuppylodders Posted February 7, 2021 Posted February 7, 2021 (edited) Could be this set: https://brickipedia.fandom.com/wiki/6081_King's_Mountain_Fortress I recognised it from having the above set when I was younger. While I don't see those bars, and the rest is on the front, I think that could be located round the left side of the castle, I could be wrong... *edit after lookinga t the instructions, its not that set, it just has similar arches in it but no black bars...Not sure which it is yet, but will try find out!

Alexandrina Posted February 7, 2021 Posted February 7, 2021 Is it possible you've combined in your head two techniques that happen to work together? Perhaps you've seen the arches/baseplate configuration used in 6081 (as @Fuppylodders noticed) and also seen the bars underneath the arch separately - but over the years both have stood out to you, and resulted in a combination.

Aanchir Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 I just checked through some idea book scans and pics of alternate builds from the boxes/instructions of Castle and Pirates sets that include these parts or similar ones (e.g. 6079, 6081, 6086, 6090, 6098, 6276, 6277, and 8781), but no luck yet. That said, I definitely think it's plausible you might've seen this somewhere — just not any of the places I can currently think of to check. Quote
