6079 Dark Forest Fortress Revamp

Built for the Return of the G.O.A.T. contest on classic-castle. I chose to revamp set 6079, Dark Forest Fortress. My version features all the functions of the original, including hidden treasure in the bottom of the carriage, a working ramp to access the stable, working catapult, and of course a crashing tree function to barricade the path. I also added another hidden treasure chest underneath the stable. I’ve always liked the Dark Forest sets, so it was a fun challenge revamping one – though I admit trying to emulate the look of a raised baseplate was certainly a challenge at times!

  1. Hi John. Amazing work! You did a fantastic job of using modern pieces to get the classic look. Those brown tree pieces are quite expensive. Have you made any instructions on RB? I would love to see how you made the brown trees. Once again, bravo to you!

    • Hello, and thanks for the comment!
      I didn’t make instructions for this model, and it’s long been since taken apart so I’m afraid reverse engineering is your best bet if trying to build something similar.
