Lego story #053: Vikings! (Part 4 of 6)

The Watchtower.

The third and final section of the Viking Village is the Watchtower. It's two structures connected by rope bridge.

Bags 9 and 10 set up the walled tower.

Two fish hanging to dry, a detail I like very much.

These winding stone steps are one of my favorite parts of the whole village.

Viewed from behind, there's a cave!

With orange studs (representing minerals) for mining.

Bag 11 starts the second half of the Watchtower, which culminates in a wooden lookout on stilts.

Yo ho ho! Three barrels of mead.

The Shieldmaiden.

This room sits on top of the cave.

It contains a ladder, one pumpkin (brown, which is unusual), and a crate of cherries.

A side wall can be easily removed, like so, revealing a small table with a candle.

The roof is seemingly simple yet beautiful.

And there you have it, the Watchtower complete.



The most enjoyable part of building it was the beautiful stonework and rock faces.

In Part 5, you'll see how all three sections look when combined!
