It's brilliant how the designers made it so the bellows can function as an "on switch" for the light brick in the forge! LEGO doesn’t even shortcut the far wall where the timber storage would be, still squeezing in a window to the outside world. You won’t fly through the build, either – not because it’s incredibly complex, save for those fiddly, less structurally sound moments, but because you’ll enjoy savouring every step in what’s a real rarity of a LEGO set. Likewise, the textures and colors of the original model's stone walls were repeated across the entire lower level, rather than showing specific masonry techniques or signs of weathering on different areas of the wall. I'm a huge Castle fan, so this is right up my alley, even taking the historical inaccuracies into account.

On the previous side, you add in the chimney which is in line with the stove on the second floor and blacksmith area on the first floor. The brown overalls as standard garb immediately set the tone as to who he is, and the printing continues around on to the back as well. As a display piece it is unmatched, but it is also good for play, with the three levels all accessible.

I am mostly a "Technic" guy but I will get this (eventually), just like I will soon get Pirates of Barracuda Bay. I was also eager to explore how these “weathered” building techniques would work in an official set, but the final design doesn’t look as crumbly. The updated horse with movable hind legs has not been produced in tan before and it makes a pleasant change from white, brown and black.

This also doubles up a cool little narrative for the building owners, as the wife strikes me as someone who wants to go out and explore the world a little bit. I think it is meant as a nod to Classic Castle, which used a lot of primary colors, but it really detracts from the finished model.Throughout the construction, there were many steps where I found myself smiling at a detail or some clever feature.

LEGO differentiates the two Knight well, equipping one with the new moulded sword and an older face and hairstyle kind of reminiscent of… someone. Usually working in iron and later steel, they would make all manner of things – nails, horseshoes, hinges, weapons, armour and hand tools, among many other practical and decorative things. When LEGO 21325 Medieval Blacksmith was officially announced a few months ago, I, as a LEGO Castle fan, was inexplicably hyped for the set. I like this approach: it means you're not hunting through thousands of parts when building and you can tackle construction in bite-sized chunks as time allows. These affiliate links earn me a little commission at no extra cost to you, thus helping to manage the cost of running this blog.Thankfully, the actual assembly of 21325 Medieval Blacksmith more than lives up to those expectations. Furthermore the ‘moss’ on the peak doesn’t work, IMO, in color or execution in how it would naturally form on a roof. Take a break from modern life to build this magnificent Medieval Blacksmith model that LEGO has faithfully recreated.
