In the LEGO creations of today, it seems as though technique is being emphasized more than ever before, especially within the castle genre. It seems as though not a day goes by when I don’t see an innovative way of making an everyday texture. This build by alego alego features a wonderfully designed blacksmith shop, primarily made using various Technic connector parts as individual logs. While I have used one or two of these parts as a single log in my own builds, I never would have conceived of making a whole building out of them, and the result is fantastic.

I think you may have missed the Easter egg – as i’m guessing this is an Asterix scene, a famous French classic
I don’t think it was missed, perhaps Peter was just focussing on the technic… I mean Obelix is there on the bottom right of the scene…not hidden ;-)
This is apparently the original French name of the Blacksmith. The English translations seem to mostly call him Fulliautomatix.
The best parts use in this, is by far the use of red sausages for Obelix hair. That is a stroke of genius.
Asterix ! :)
Alas, they couldn’t connect wing plumes to Asterix’ helmet in some way…
Yes, I didn’t realize this was based on something, I’m not very well educated in the French classics. XD
