...By volume, that is.



I got set 3739 for my son last year, and just love it. I also gave my daughter the legend versions of Black Falcons Fortress and Guarded Inn (which she loved). The problem: the set version of 3739 is just too big to match the more compressed Fortress and Inn--it towers over even the gatehouse of the Fortress.

Thus the need to compress the Blacksmith Shop while keeping as much of its coolness as possible.

My daughter is very much into this castle thing, so expect more posts of MOCs in the style and scale of these sets.

Hey John! That's a really great modification! Now how about using the leftover pieces to make the Guarded Inn a little bigger?! If you feel like making you model in MLcad, I'll post downloadable instructions on my site. Cheers! Dan (20 years ago, 11-Nov-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)
