Corydoras Posted June 24, 2022 I'm looking for a neat brickbuilt minifig scale horse idea for my castle layout. It has to be sturdy, not overly sophisticated, but not too primitive either, and ideally come with a brickbuilt barding. An updated design from set 383 would be perfect for me, and I have already tried tinkering with it, but I have a hard time redesigning the head. Any tips or blueprints? For all you goat lovers (God, this sounds wrong!) out there, let me share with you some brickbuilt goats of my own idea: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TeriXeri Posted June 24, 2022 31109: Pirate Ship has a horse build in the alternate Inn build , might work as inspiration as there are instructions for that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Murdoch17 Posted June 25, 2022 (edited) Those goats look awesome. I also agree with @TeriXeri on the 3-in-1 Pirate Ship horse build being a good starting point. Off topic, slightly: I saw this thread's title and started hearing (in my head) Mick Jagger singing "Brickbuilt Horses". Chances are, you now are too.

Probably LEGO would exchange these at my MOC :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Corydoras Posted July 27, 2022 Sorry for bumping the thread, but I came up with this: The design of the horse is inspired by the one from set 6193. It may look cartoonish, but I took a liking to this kind of chibi-cutesy aesthetic. LEGO is just a toy after all, and not meant to be taken completely seriously, right?

Follows Closely Posted July 27, 2022 (edited) I like it. I would make the horse 3 wide (harder) instead of 4, and the head one wide (easy) instead of two. Edited July 27, 2022 by Follows Closely Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SirBlake Posted July 27, 2022 The horses are fun. Reminds me of these: http://bricker.info/sets/383-2/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TeriXeri Posted July 27, 2022 (edited) Those look great. I just remembered the 80104: Lion Dance , those printed curved plates might work as brick built horse blankets as well, or as Joust decorations for a raised stage/tent.

jtooker Posted July 29, 2022 I'm a fan of this type of design for brick-built horse-like animals. Originally floriangraderbeck’s donkey design. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted July 31, 2022 Very nice design for both goat and horses! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
