Riverside Farm & Mill

Story:

The Riverside land is under the influence and protection of the Lion Knights. They grow their food and raise their animals. However, a treaty between the Lion Knights and the landowner was signed to allow him free trading throughout the kingdom and even further. Therefore, the landowner realised trading between the Black Falcons and Forestmen was beneficial and profitable.

Luckily, the landowner has some of the bravest soldiers to keep the peace and the intruders away from his land, but we all know that cannot always be successful if the Wolfpack is around.

They have a steal and rescue mission as one of them got captured by the landowner. While attempting to free the elder wolf, they sneak around to steal this rich farmland's raw materials, not to mention the gold in the treasury.

Description:

This medieval creation stands out because of its overall presentation, playability and detailed visualisation. It combines the stronghold-type building and farming as one whole build. It consists of removable sections/modules to allow an inside view of the hidden parts.

One of the farming houses has a workable windmill containing many technic elements that make movement possible. Around it, there are many fruits and vegetables to find. The other house is responsible for keeping livestock safe. Pigs, goats and rabbits are all under one roof with some fences around. Both houses' interiors are detailed: fireplaces, kitchen tables and a bed.

The main building is more complex. On the ground level, the back is open as a dock allows in and out transportation and a prison cell for intruders to keep. The above level is accessible through the main gate. To enter the building, you must pass through a slope, a workable drawbridge and the front door. Technic elements are also used for the drawbridge's movement.

Once inside, you can find the treasury on the left, the documents cupboard on the right and the shields of the Black Falcons and Forestmens on the wall. It is a symbol of safe trading.

The landowner's chancery is on the upper level; all administration work happens there. A board on the wall helps to follow the exact number of stock and trading, and some books to document it. From here, a ladder away to the top where a look around is a must and the alchemist's workshop to prepare all sorts of medication and more.

On the side of the building, there is a ladder to bring you to the bell tower. Under the tower is the storage room. It is only accessible from the river, and a guard is always there to keep intruders from entering. Inside, there are some gold, weapons and armour.

The model includes 12 minifigures: 3 wolfpacks, 2 Lion Knights, the landowner and his soldier, an alchemist and 4 farmers.

Thank you very much for taking the time to consider my design, and I hope that it exceeds expectations :)
