I agree about the impact of parts limitations. You often are forced into more creative solutions because of those limitations.

You are far from amateur! This looks great. I like the minimalism, this is totally something you could simply place between builds or display nicely on a shelf. Well done.

The grill helmet was historically designed for equestrian sword fights in tournaments. They would use blunt wooden swords, more points were awarded if you broke the sword on a strike. ⚔️

Huh, now I know what im doing this summer

It looks really cool! What I like about your custom figures and mocs in general is that you put a lot of attention into detail rather than scale, characters rather than having as many figures as possible. Your character videos are actually very inspirational to me! I think its important to make included elements feel purposeful in a moc. I understand that when people build very large scale they dont always have the time and resources to do that, but I'd rather make small and posposeful builds that feel immersive than waste a lot of money on a huge landscape that feel copy pasted and unfinished. Not to mention the storage space, cleaning and sorting... This statement could be made about design, game design or model creation in general, but I wont make this comment longer than it already is.

Lego really need to bring back these Medieval Farmer cowls...

Looks great! Also, it was very nice that you ended the video the way you did- encouraging play and experimentation. Thank you

Looks great! If you want to expand the tournament grounds to make it more complete, here are a few options: 1 - Add additional knights, both from other factions (or even more than one from the same faction, but preferably with different kit to distinguish them), as well as a challenge board (a display with a shield from each knight which the challenger can smack with his lance to show who he wants to challenge) or a score board (a display with a shield from each knight which starts as a ground-level bracket of everyone but has each victor increase one level, until you get to the final two). 2 - Vendors and public viewing stands. The stands can be pretty basic, since they're for the unwashed masses. Maybe include a musician or jester for "half time entertainment" stuff. Throw in a pretzel, chicken leg, or sausage vendor (or more than one), and somebody with drinks on offer. If you want to push this concept, add a "kids section" area for peasant children to "joust" with toy lances and stick horses. 3 - Additional competitions. Add an archery range with two or three targets, and maybe have a forestman, a random peasant (probably secretly a poacher), and a couple military archers from one or another of your major factions. Build a little quarterstaff arena, for which I like the idea of a mud pit with a plank crossing it, for the competitors to try to knock one another into the mud. Toss in a large, fenced-in area for a grand melee where champions can lead a handful of basic soldiers into mock combat (perfect for "accidents" against social or political rivals). 4 - A band stand, with drums, wind instruments, strings, and whatever else you either have or can build. Even better if you can include a small stage for morality plays or punch-and-judy puppet shows. A final consideration for anyone who's jousting, you might consider using helmets that explicitly protect the lower face, or adding supplemental armor that would function like a gorget. The idea would be that, if a lance splinters, you don't want its sharp, pointy bits flying or skipping up into the throat. I wish Lego made Sallet and Bevor accessories, but you might be able to get reasonably close with bandanas or face masks of one kind or another. It might also be a decent opportunity for a Knight of Ren helmet, which generally include pretty heavy face protection. The grill helmets would likely be better for people in the Grand Melee or duels rather than lance jousts. They'd be great against sword or other direct weapon blows, but a lance would go straight through (even more splinters would go right into the face when a lance breaks).

This look awesome man! really liked the figures aswell. it would be nice though if the sleeping tents were like proper jousting tents. Also I feel like a grand stand would bring this to the next level.

this would be a perfect lego set!

Amazing work man

Looks great, reminds me of the 80's jousting sets

I think the flags should be put a bit closer to the habdle of the lance, might look better. Awesome build overall

Really cool! I have one suggestion tho what about changing the grey legs from Guards to light blue? (to match the checkered body they have)

Very cool, could easily work as an official set, with fewer figs of course! I've been thinking of making a Fright Knight castle or something to go along with my Black Falcon one that I built a month ago, any ideas would be greatly appreciated.👍👍

Lego should make smaller sets with a higher 'resolution' or attention to detail. When thinking back to what I liked as a kid, it was always the sets that felt more complex and detailed that I loved, regardless of size, so I think that kids and adults alike would be able to appreciate if mocs like these were sets.

the aliexpress bardings are fantastic for the ravens, falcons and crusaders. was pleslently suprised by the quality of them for the price, especially vs other sellers on aliexpress

Plastic Black Raven barding all the way. I don't know why Bluedragonbricks decided to make their Raven barding on a white base instead of black, the edges look very bad because of this. The Black Falcon barding looks ok-ish because of the white part but the Black Raven just looks like it had years of playwear on it.

​@@RalphPLFYI you can get a multi-pack of colored sharpies at the Dollar tree which Will do a decent job of color matching if you want to color in the edges. It will not be perfect but it will definitely be less noticeable than white against black.

Very cool! Those custom pieces are awesome

Awesome looking build! ⚔️

What about building plague striken village with a plague doctor

I absolutely loved this! I'm getting into Lego castle myself and it's such a fun definitely expensive hobby but super worth it imo

I just made a joust stop motion earlier today! Excellent timing

This turned out GREAT!, love the design for the lord!, looks properly grizzled yet fancy, crown knights also turned out nice!. I wonder how this set fits into the lore, are the crown knights neutral?👀. Build is also fantastic!, simple and easy to replicate!, tents surprised me with how good they looked that I may have to make my own!, the flowers also added some nice colour to the dancing which I do think it needed, overall this turned out great and you should be proud!. Have a great day man!😁

In person the Ali express horse boarding’s colour match is one for one I can’t tell if it’s off by just looking at it, if the cloth barding was double sided I’d like it more but there’s just a bit too much white visible although the graphic design on the cloth looks better. The plastic barding is great if you wanna stick to the Lego aesthetic as much as possible the quality of the plastic is as good as Lego and same with the print and colour of the actual barding. Although I do like these cloth barding the flags are definitely the stand out there

Man you and shytimeismytime have got me so into castle recently, ive started making a huge detailed moc and have been armybuilding my black falcons a ton, after this next PAB order ill be up to 64. Anyways, love your content as always man and keep up the good work

Really good moc

Looks great man! Very clean and well thought out. I’m so glad you said, “I made it, that’s all that matters.” YES. That’s the joy and beauty of the creative process as a whole and Lego is such a great way to tell stories and create. Thanks for sharing your process and keep on building 🙌🏼

thank you for your videos - they are very entertaining and inspiring. you made me dig out my old castle minifigs from the late 80s to early 90s :D

I actually got curious on the bardings from Temu so ordered a raven and black falcon to test, they’re actually really good and until close inspection realistically you wouldn’t notice the difference, however upon inspection the ravens/falcons are the wrong way around on one side (small detail) the plastic again is slightly shinier (a little bit the same as Funwhole sets) but on the whole, for £2 each UK, you can’t complain if you want to make a horse unit, they even come with head armour to boot!

the grill helmet is the closest thing to a real Jousting/Tournament helmet lego has :3

I love the fantasy era crown knights.

You should definitely order a couple of bardings for the ravens, I was sceptic, but after getting them I was very pleased with the quality and print, they almost look they came from Lego, probably the only con are the clips, not sure they will last as long as the originals

Another epic video, you finally got the Barding! I love your videos man the tent look awesome (If you wanted to expand it add an archery contest)

I like that the black falcon knight has an eyepatch because those helmets would allow splintered wood from the lances right into the eyes. Also I would give them more heavy duty armor than chanimail because it would hurt pretty bad and probably shatter a few ribs to get hit by a lance like that with just chainmail

Those cloth bardings look really rough around the edges, literally.

Love your video's! The are inspiring

I wish the black ravens weren’t so expensive!

So cool, the black riven is literaly ser gregor clegane the mountain

Your videos inspired me to get into lego castle. I used to be almost exclusively marvel and star wars when it came to lego but I always had a fascination with European history. I had the blacksmith from a while ago and now I'm getting all the new medieval sets that come out.

Great video, gave me a lot of ideas!

Wow looks amazing so much detail I love the way you did the tents for the knights

Looks amazing 🤩🔥

This has been a idea I’ve wanted to build for so long and the only upgrade you need is more contestants and spectators. I have a raven barding and am very surprised how good it looks

Love it! Ive been wanting to make a joust as well, so this is good inspiration. One thing you could add would be some chairs for the king and queen while watching the joist, that would add a lot to their pavilion. :)

Goldfyre, here is an idea for your fright knight army: Use ManBat torso and head for some soldiers. They get glowing red eyes and actuall bat wings

Great video as always goldfyre

The plastic black raven bardings from Temu/Ali express are surprisingly good. Probably not a good choice if you're a lego purist, but I am not and think they're quite nice.

How do the Crown faction fit into the lore around the Ravens, Lions, and Dragons?

I love this! we need a full falcon and lion knight lore video pls!!!

I love it!

I bought the black falcon horse barding from temu it looks amazing and was so cheap

This looks so good!

Very nice

Awesome 😎

One thing the more opened helmet looked cool but it wasn't very historycal beacuse in the jousting when the spears broke it kinda bleew up and it killed the knight if he didn't have enough armor on his face and his neck. But that MOC looks awesome I think and you made a very good job so keep going and get more and more better.

I think this MOC looks great. Less is more, as they say!

I always look forward to your updates

absolutely beautiful

I get the idea of the legs for the crown knights, but I think they would be better if the legs are one color instead of two.

Beautiful!

Amazing Work!

A jousting moc is in my opinion, the apex of castle. The one with the green dragon knight is one of my white whale lego sets.

I was wrong on my prediction but it’s a great video🎉

Bro is executing my childhood dream!!

I just ordered some of the Temu Barding I’m hoping it’ll look good

Well done, great imagination, keep it up!

still want four raven knights lol

Perfect size Mocs. Too many are overbuilt making them difficult to take in.

Your MOCs don't look like they were built by an amateur. I could imagine them as official sets. But then they would probably have fewer figures and fewer parts.😅 I'm currently using your building techniques for a MOC and it looks so good.

I really like the crown knights. How do you plan to include them in your fantasy world ?

You should have used the actual crown knights king and queen and princess.
