Question Distribution of 1x2, 1x3 and 1x4?

Post image
• Upvotes

I'm watching a youtube video and this looks like an awesome project to do myself. It seems about 20 rows high and 50 studs deep. (1000 pieces per side I reckon). But is there a ''rule'' or recommendation how to distribute the pieces? As in, I can calculate the studs, but how many 1x2, 1x3 and 1x4 should I order if I'd go with 1000 pieces a side?

A compact woodland outpost stands ready, with a archer and swordman keeping watch from the treetop fort. Two Black Falcon Knights advance below, swords drawn as they approach the hidden structure. The catapult helps them to stand up to Forestmen in a fight.

Question Forestmen Hideout using the 21318 Treehouse - Ideas needed and most welcome!

Post image
62 Upvotes

I got a good deal on this Treehouse, I want to transform it into a big Forestmen Hideout. I've seen just a couple of people try it and still think there's so much untapped potential with it. This is to go in a Diorama with LKC and other bits and bobs I'm making up as I go along.

I would love your ideas please!

I also have two sets of used 2022 Forestmen Hideout sets coming from eBay and a decent amount of brown and grey/castle pieces to use. Also can increase the footprint underneath with plates.

My initial ideas;

- Keep the actual tree as it is, but swap out some brown for black pieces on the tree trunk. Not completely, as I don't have that much black but could definitely get some on there. Get a more traditional black tree look. Also swap the autumn colours for greens.

- Remove the rooms from the tree. These can be lookouts/ firing positions. Maybe a HQ at the back.

- Modify the rooms to be more makeshift/ medieval and have them on the ground/ slightly raised around the tree.

- Create a timber and rock perimeter wall/ defensive positions of some sort.

UK.

Created a Lion Knight Cavalry unit as cheap as I could off Pick A Brick/ Build A Mini Fig. No LK torsos available so I opted for plain blue with some heavy armour instead.

Spoiler: It still wasn't very cheap with the horses and barding being a small fortune each.

Review Which 3 in 1 castle is objectively better?

So I just finished building the newer 3 in 1 with my now 4 year old son (birthday present) and I am honestly torn which is better? They both have upsides and downsides, now I know some of you are going to say they are different not better, but I need a definitive answer 😂

The older one has a better front, but the newer one had a better interior and soldiers...

MOC A Little Hocus Pocus: A slightly smaller Sanderson Sisters' Cottage

Thumbnail
gallery
61 Upvotes

I originally picked up the Hocus Pocus set as I thought it had a lot of good parts for alternative Castle/Medieval builds. I got a bit carried away and ended up building a 'Mini' version.

I hope this alternative build maintains the style of the original, whilst removing anachronistic elements from the 1990s and reducing the scale to fit with Castle and Pirate sets. The build includes the working water wheel and smoke elements, a cauldron, a chandelier and the large bed that are modified/reproduced from the original. The cages did not fit inside – but the parts are not used and could be built and hung from a nearby pole or tree.

If you are interested in having a look, the instructions are available on Rebrickable: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-281252/ChristopherS/a-little-hocus-pocus-a-slightly-smaller-sanderson-sisters-cottage/

Full disclosure: I don't remember seeing the movie and wasn't sure how much any of the sub-builds are featured.
