![]() On the whole, I’m ok with the brighter color. The use of lime green foliage also adds to the brightness of the official set both on the tree and on the ground around the building. The original submission render is fairly dark, you can see the light bley stone looks darker than the official set, my picture or this other MOC I created. Sitting on my piano, the built set does not look quite as bright as the marketing photo/render for the official set, but is still much brighter than the initial submission. The second from the use of reddish-brown for the wood compared to the dark brown off the submission. The first is the use of brighter blues and sand green on the roof. Looking at the official art when compared to the proposal rendering, the color palette is much brighter. We can see a very bright scene, which is in contrast to the muted colors in Clemens’ original proposal.Ĭolor Comparison: box art, my photo, proposal render, my touched-up MOC In my mind, there were three major changes between the proposed MOC and the final set:īut I’m getting ahead of myself looking at the whole set… Color Palette I’ll also refer to the Old Fishing Store 21310 as it also a detailed Ideas building at the $150, ~2,000 piece mark and Pirates of Barracuda Bay 21322 as it is a recent ‘historic’ Ideas set. ![]() I’ll compare them to the proposed model, as well as the 2002 blacksmith and interject my comments as I go. I’ll first cover the build as a whole and then move to the base and work my way up, carefully covering the techniques used for each part. In 21325 Medieval Blacksmith, LEGO sells an AFOL-quality castle MOC as a set. Much of the original detail in the proposal has been retained in the official set with a few critical changes read on for a deeper dive into these differences as well as the building techniques used to create this incredibly detailed set. The techniques used for each of these areas are quite detailed. Slate is the material of choice for the roof. The building walls are stone for the first floor and half timber (Tudor style) for the second and third floors. The second floor consists of a kitchen and the third has the bedroom. The forge is available both inside and outside the building. A fully decorated interior is accessible by removing each story and one side of the roof. The building itself sits on an irregular plate-built base. Three floors and roof pieces (click to enlarge) Three animals are provided: a tan horse, husky dog and frog. The knights heraldry features the classic Black Falcons crest but with more detail, both on the minifig torsos and shields. The set comes with four minifigures: a red-bearded blacksmith, female archer and two knights. The approved product idea (AKA proposal) was designed by Clemens Fiedler “Namirob” and the final set was designed by LEGO Model Designer Wes Talbott and LEGO Graphic Designer by Austin Carlson It has been marketed to adults, both with the “18+” age rating as well as with the “Adults Welcome” tagline. This modular-sized medieval building clocks in at 2164 pieces. This will be an AFOL targeted review focused on features, parts and techniques my opinions will be italicized. In this review, I’ll be comparing the official set with Clemens Fiedler’s proposal as well as Daniel Siskind’s Blacksmith Shop 3739 released in 2002. I was available on Februfor $149.99 in the US and sold out the first day. The 33rd LEGO Ideas set has been released, the LEGO® Ideas 21325 Medieval Blacksmith. In 21325 Medieval Blacksmith, LEGO sells an AFOL-quality castle MOC as a set.
