The Knight's Crossbow

My favorite castle series is the fantasy era, mostly because those were the sets I grew up with. I have a lot of fond memories about several fantasy era sets, so I decided to re-imagine a couple of those in this project. The main inspiration was the set 5615-1 - The Knight, so that's what I started with. Then I decided to remake the ballista from the the set 7090-1 - Crossbow Attack as well.

I envisioned this set as a forest camp for the knights to train with their weapons. The ballista features a working missile launcher and the fence has targets that can be knocked over. I also made a tree stump with a secret hiding place for the red jewel, and a spinning training dummy the knights can fight.

This was really fun to build, and I'm happy with how it turned out.
