Great, I immediately associate with old lego catalogs. Set 6077 is one of my favorites. It is a pity that lego no longer makes such sets.
ps. sorry for the mistakes. I did not use english for a long time Regards | |

Very good scenery! The name you gave to this madieval town is ver nice, it reminds me an actual town... :)
I like the shape it took. You made nice buildings like the stables or the MOD of Camouflaged Outpost. The bridge is a nice addition too. I like its style. You put a lot of details into this. There is one thing that looks odd, the western part of the scenery is empty! You may have ran out of trees. Globally, it's a nice layout. Maybe could you have built some medieval buildings on the future Paradisa Island, or a house for the bridge toll. That would be the only lack of this scenery. Although, there is a queston that is drilling me since yesterday evening: is it a black pitchfork that the knight is holding in front of the wheel-maker? Where did you get it? | |

Hello sizom, thanks :)
Some of the pictures can be similar to presentations in LEGO catalogs from 80s and 90s, but that was my intention. I am glad you think that way :) I consider them the best ever made. Yes, that was serious mistake by LEGO Group to replace old good real medieval castles with some fancy colorful and meaningless Nexo Knights. On the other hand you have licenced sets of LOTR, which resembles medieval sets much more. LEGO Group from some time now have stopped making their own things and started agressively use licensing to get to wider group of people as I guess. I am not a big fan of using someone elses ideas, it is always very limited and completely not creative. Designers are just recreating things, not creating. This is very demotivating. I still miss good ideas which designers from 90s had creating awesome sets. Where are they now? We can only hope for big return of some excellent series, but it can never happen. People will just say that we are nostalgic and backward guys, who can't accept new things. That "argument" is so boring... Your English is understable far enough. You can always write in Polish, there are no requirements here. Although using English is more universal for all users at Clabrisic :) | |

Hello Evans!
Hah, yes, I ran out of the trees! It seems not too many, but you can see more than one hundred of them here. I have three big bags of them and when I put them all on the scenery, it seems so little. Nevertheless the west part should not be visible, but that angle of the camera was the best for the overal picture. The name of the Town as you already know is the medieval name for Bebricton :) I just wanted it to have that medieval tone in it. Babrichorn seems ok. That MOD of Camouflaged Outpost is the alternative model available at the back of the packaging :) I usually try to check those models before I make some of my own. Yes, I have made only three of the sceneries, but there are still 13 more to fill... I have new sets like 6074 or 6081.. so I have some possibilities and the history just begins with Lion Knights and Falcons :) The time is not on my side though... Hm, the pitchfork I have got with 6040 set I believe. I often buy incomplete or with other parts. Now, when you mention about it, it is curious. I knew the brown should be with this set, but I thought black one just comes from some other set. It seems, that officially there is no such part. Although, it has those identations at the bottom which suggests that this is not 4496 but 95345 part. Anyway, it fits just fine to medieval scenery :) | |

You know, for trees, I know what is it... I got 50 trees, and I don't have enough too. In the forest I made for my hunter's Land Rover, all my big trees are present... (I did not put small trees).
I'm sure you will build nice sceneries with 13 remaining spaces. And more time will pass, more possibilities you will get to build as collection will be expanding. That pitchfork is so nice... I know it's just a part, but I love seeing such parts. Could you post pictures of this part in the forum in a topic about rare and special parts? | |

Sure, I can make some photos if you like. I haven't considered it so rare before :)
