A entry into the Out with the New category of the Colossal Castle Contest. The idea is to rebuild a recent Castle set in the style of castle sets in the 80s. I chose to rebuild The Gatehouse Raid set (#70402). I looked at pictures of Black Falcon and Crusader sets and only used techniques that were used in sets during the 80s. Unfortunately I didn’t have enough old grey panels and bricks to build the castle, so I used bley. The older sets generally had more figs for the size of the build than more recent sets, so I added an extra attacking soldier. The drawbridge works nicely, and is operated by a crank in the gatehouse.
Will the Crusader army be able to capture the Black Falcons Gatehouse?
