Lego story #087: Horse knights, unite (Part 2): The Market

King Thomas and Queen Isabelle grace market day with their presence.

King Tom holds a sack of gold to spend on sweets for his beloved queen. She is inexplicably drawn to a dark brown chocolate swirl . . .

The baker's pastries are selling like the hot cakes they are. Thanks to his cheerful personality and the queen's visit, his stall is almost empty!

By an alley lurks a mysterious, well-dressed faction knight. Known only as Fashion Nite, she is simply resting at present and enjoying a fresh apple.

Leif trundles into market day with a heavy wagon of goods. He always moves slowly. It's actually the best way to not miss a thing. Like . . . why is King Tom sneaking through a side door of the castle wall?

The night watchman, Celeste, broods over all but misses this side-door intrigue. She is unused to daytime guard duty. 

To survive watch duty, she consumed a tonic made by an enigmatic gentleman named Brewster. A strong bittersweet liquid mixed with pigeon milk. It was called "toffee," or something like that? The toffee did not work as promised, so her eyelids are drooping. 

Long after the royal couple leaves, market day bustles on . . .

This miniature town is Model B of the 31168 Medieval Horse Knight Castle, a Creator 3-in-1 set. 

Model B's main feature is the ability to unfold into a streetview and fold back into a four-walled enclosure. 

Here are the sections -- including an upper-storey bedroom, market, windmill, and bell arch.

The lineup of characters look similar to Model A and Model C. We have a queen and a sheep in this one.

The sheep looks real fluffy for a brick-built animal! 

This was a good build, very playable. But my favorite of the three models is Model C, which I'll post next!
