Combining the Town Square with Other Lego Castle Sets | Lion Knights' Castle, Blacksmith Shop

Just how good does the Medieval Town Square (10332) look next to the Lion Knights' Castle (10305), Forest Hideout (40567), and Blacksmith Shop (21325)? We take an in-depth look at how the can be integrated and what you might need to do to make them look ideal in you medieval layout.

The Blacksmith's Shop is just too big for its own good.

Use a little forced perspective-
Elevate the castle by placing it on a platform a couple inches tall, then place the other sets in the foreground, in front of the castle, coming towards the onlooker-
The blacksmith shop should be closest to the viewer, the castle in the distance and higher, the market can go in the center, split up to create a sort of road to the castle with the market buildings on both sides, magistos workshop and forest hideout can go further out to the left and or right, behind the market buildings

Analyzing sets on “crossover appeal” is a very helpful and unique idea

Why dont you have the 3-1 medieval castle there? It scales well with the everything beside the blacksmilth. Everyone seems to forget about the 3-1 castle. The castle that is literally like the old school castles, being modular.

It would have been nice to see the viking village next to everything

Thank you for this comparison was waiting to see how they all look side to side

I have the 3in1 castle. Plus lots of 80s castle stuff. I've made transition walls, 8 studs long with two different connectors and a bending part each. One side will connect at the top like the 3in1 does, while the opposite side will connect at the bottom with the classic sets. To help with geometry, both connecting walls are able to bend.

You can (and should) raise the castle. That may compensate for the scale discrepancy.
Castles were usually built on an elevation so they’d have a 360 view over their territories

[wesandell]

An "easy" solution to make the castle look "bigger" is to get a bunch of burps and make a platform to elevate the castle up above the rest of the buildings. Of course, that costs money for both the burps, the plates, supporting bricks underneath a large elevated base, along with the necessary pieces for a ramp up to the top.

Thanks for this, it's great to see these sets close together!

Like others have said - blacksmith scale doesn't fit. BUT I'm sure the blacksmith set could be reduced down to match scale and add stables, accessory build, etc instead

A friend has all of these displayed together, and he built some platforms to add to the landscape for two very specific purposes: Making the castle "taller" and having it loom over the town more, and also having the wooden structure part of the Blacksmith, the "main floor", be ground level with the other town square buildings, with the "bottom floor" (stone foundation) of the Blacksmith looking more like a "basement walk-out". All he really had to do was make a small ramp to connect with the walkup to the castle, and he put some trees and other elements in front of it to help it blend more. It adds to the path up to the castle more, giving it an even grander sense of scale.

As someone who mostly builds mocs based off sets, I find myself seeing that almost every set is made to be bought twice. In my eyes at least lol then everything can be smoothed out and made to fit from there in your own way

[JasonVenable]

I like to think of the Lion knights castle as more of a keep than a full castle… in that respect, you could imagine the village and blacksmith outside of the keep, and all of them surrounded by an outer wall

[BigVik]

The lion knights castle can be positioned towards the back of any set up to give the illusion that it’s bigger than it actually is. However this would require quite a large area to accomplish if positioning the medieval town square and blacksmith in a lower level village area. Regardless each one of these sets are absolutely stunning!! Keep it up LEGO!

[cowboydup]

thank you for making this video! this these are exactly the things i think about when buying those sets. my dream is to place the town square in front of the lion knight castle and surround both sets with a matching wall/gatehouse/docks. but until that day when i have such space, they will remain in their boxes.

[jzargo]

Great video, i was thinking about how these sets compare displayed together, and now i know. I was also considering how the new hagrid's hut from harry potter would fit in 🤔

[Lowlight]

I have all of these in the box and so happy to see this comparison! Thank you so much. 😁👍

based tapestry maker what a true hero saving the town from that evil tax collector

[johnycruz]

Thanks very much for uploading this comparative video of the new LEGO Medieval Town Square to the Medieval Blacksmith and the Lion Knights' Castle. I was concerned mainly with how big the new Medieval Town Square was but many of the other review videos kept comparing it to the Lion Knights' Castle which I did not have. Now, I realize that the Medieval Town Square appears to be somewhat small to fit nicely with my LEGO modular buildings.
