The Forestmen were always the “good guys” for me back in the 1980’s, allies of the Crusaders against the Black Falcons. I’m not sure how gearcs feels about that alliance, but “Elm Castle” — the seat of a knight named Sir Roland — includes excellent examples of half-timber LEGO construction integrated into the grey stone, along with complete landscaping and a full interior.
Check out more pictures of Elm Castle on Brickshelf, along with many other LEGO Castle creations in gearcs’s Brickshelf gallery.
Thanks to reader greenglo for the suggestion!
