Introduction
On the island far away to tne north the Dragon Knights decided to built a castle and name it Dragonidrot. Water spreads around the structure, what makes the only possible entrance through the drawbridge and the raised gate. Knights secured in case of an attack, but would that be enough? The Lion Knights will not forgive the kidnapping of a princess who is imprisoned in one of the dark dungeons of Dragonidrot Castle!
The Dragon Knights are just preparing to repel the attack of the Lion Knights, what was expected.
The Lion Knights, on the other hand, are well prepared for the rescue of the princess.
However, behind the walls of the castle a knights tournament is organized.
Four entrance gates are in the castle walls, but it is possible to enter the island through the one only.
Inside the castle there is also an inn and an armourer.
I invite you to check out second gallery presenting the siege, which is available here.
Technical curiosities
You can find many original modular sets connected together in this scenery. Including the 6085-1: Black Monarch's Castle or the 6059-1: Knight's Stronghold. However, most of the wall, two large towers on the right or the yellow inn are my own constructions created to fill the gap. It is true, that the sets with the wall only or red inn were released back in the 80s, but they were not used in this scenery.

Very good layout! The castle is fantastic, I really like all those walls you have added. It's a nice extension to the original set. The tournament is also a good addition. In a long-term future, I plan to make a whole old town enclosed by castle walls, like this, but with Town era. I hope to see more deeply your inn. You put a lot of efforts in finding a lot of small scenes, very nice. Will there be a "Bebricktoned" version of this layout?
And... how much land tiles do you have now? You seem to have a very big amount of them now! | |

Hey Evans!
Hehe, this is the magic of those land tiles. Can you believe, I actually made only two of those tiles by last several months? All those tiles you see in latest couple of sceneries are all previously made tiles in different layout. I have made two more tiles at the drawbridge in this scenery, to make the river narrower. This was the only thing I couldn't do with previous tiles. Thats why I put more effort to make those tiles, so I can use them in different layouts. There are lots of possibilities. Yes, I'll probably make another Bebricton part on the similar layout, I have couple of ideas already ;) I am not very happy with this inn I've made. I think it could be better, but I ran out of bricks. Nevertheless, I will add it in MOC's later on. You plan to make a Town with castle walls around it? Hm.. that sounds odd, but I am curious what you plan to do there! You definitely have to add it to sceneries when you finish :) Greetings! | |

It's what I thought for land tiles, the drawbridge ones are new, but I would have believed that you made some more for the water-land transition :) .
I hope to see this new part of Bebricton, any clue on the theme? In fact, in France we have something called "ville fortifiée", it means a city in which there is a castle or a military building, and there are walls that protects the city and the building: here's the famous "citée fortifiée" of Carcassonne. That's the main idea, but it would be much smaller. But as I said, it's a long-term project as I have a lot of castle wall parts but a big number of them are hardly yellowed, and I would miss grey parts to do this. So in some years maybe. :) | |

This can be interesting. I wonder how will such Town in castle look like with LEGO parts.
I will keep it as surprise with new part of Bebricton :) |
