The German company Modbrix sells the castle set 9016 with pretty bad part quality and instructions, according to reviews. Apparently, the supplier ruined the set by replacing parts.
However, the work of the set designer is great. It is an interesting mixture of an architectural display set with a childrens' playset.
The instructions are available on Modbrix' website. So I built the set using Lego parts, changing the colors and some details to my likin and due to available parts.
41st International Knight Tournament in Golub Castle, Poland. Knights from Ukraine, Italy, Sweden, France and Poland did their best to win several competitions, including riding a horse and shooting.
Inside detail--computer in the glove box is a good idea, I think.

Quite some people has been wondering how this lighting is done. Its actually a strong spot light meant to light up the structure. We just utilize it as the main source of light in this picture. However one of the biggest problem was the light emitted is actually even warmer then tungsten which was quite a issue in the post processing.
A summer night in October arrived last Tuesday night, unexpected and without the bugs.
It was like summer had never left with a temperature of 27.3 degrees on October 9thand as the day passed slowly into evening the balmy air wooed us to go for an evening ride on the Triumph.
I think summer was teasing or maybe October was just playing a game of masquerade but no matter who was creating the night magic we weren't about to miss it.
There was no plan, we just escaped into the night.
Riding along the Rideau River up to Merrickville was like life had passed into a dream and I joked with Stan how the night ride made me think for a moment I was riding with Micheal Knight, The Knight Rider. Earlier in the day Stan had gotten another needle in the eye so I didn't think he was up for a ride but I was wrong and we took a shot in the dark ride with one headlight and one good eye : ) Without question the ride turned out to be the best ever taken on the Triumph, for both of us! The night was filled with magic, mystery and haunting intrigue.
But all good things eventually come to an end and when I thought the ride was over when Stan turned off hwy 43 and was heading back home he completely and unexpectedly caught me off guard, slowed down, veered off the darkened Burritts Rapids' road and turned up Cemetery Hill.
He turned the engine off and in the quiet and still cemetery he asked me to pick three tombstones.The shadowy granite, almost lost in the total darkness of the quiet grounds enclosed around me making it hard to distinguish the cold stone from the dark black veil of the evening. I found myself a little scared but so elevated in my curiosity in continuing to seek and find some lovely tombs hoping they would reveal some hidden secret. The game was on, the two old folks were having fun.
Stan followed me around the graveyard ,the breeze among the branches of the encircling wood sighed but I heard nothin more but the snapping of a few pics and then he spoke: “Ok, I think this should do it. Let's go home and see what we got”
But what I discovered I noticed even before I got home , actually it was the only stone of the four I picked that I was able to read the words.
On the tall spire shaped monument the inscription read “An Officer and a Gentleman” , very strange and spooky I thought because what I read was related to the night's events. Us playing a game like two juveniles with no restraints, young again. We were the perfect age tonight to enjoy a summer's night in October hopefully will never forget. The perfect age like Richard Gere had said in a quote I read on Instagram . Oh and by the way if you don't get the connection, Richard Gere was the officer in An Officer and a Gentleman” : ) and below is his quote........
“I am old but I am forever young at heart.We are always the same age inside. Know that you are the perfect age. Each year is special and precious, you can only live it once. Do not regret growing older, it's a privilege denied to many!”
I know this story really sounds made up but I never set foot in that cemetery before October,9th/2018.
Wow, should I dare say someone from beyond reached out and left this for me to ponder on?
“The lovers have grown old and grey” but forever young at heart, they'll stay.
Well, taking that ride with Knight Rider on an October summer night was a thrill; I forgot just how old I was!
Happy to be here with you Stan!

“Freedom Burning” illustrates the erosion of American freedom in the Nuclear Age. The base of the mushroom cloud represents the destruction of the Native American dream to live peacefully on their own land, the land the white Europeans took away from them.
The Iwo Jima soldiers at the top of the cloud are contemporary icons, representing the need to fight to preserve our freedom. Juxtaposed against the mushroom cloud, their purpose in the painting becomes ironic, since post-World War II wars have been more often about protecting America’s position as a superpower—at the expense of both American and non-American lives.
“Patriotism,” in the words of Bertrand Russell, “is the willingness to kill and be killed for trivial reasons.”
As in George Orwell’s prophetic novel, “1985,” Americans are told by today’s politicians that nuclear weapons are a necessary evil because “war is peace.” “Freedom Burning” unveils the hypocrisy of this myth.
The flag burns just as the American dream of freedom burns each time an unjust war is fought in the name of politics.

The Blue Knights Little League Team presented Trooper Werner Forrester’s niece, Josie Manfre-Morey with a signed baseball from the team before playing at North Wall Little League in Wall, N.J. on Sunday, May 22, 2022. The Blue Knights represent fallen NJSP Troopers who have fallen in the line of duty by wearing the troopers badge numbers on their sleeves. On May 2, 1973, Trooper James M. Harper, stopped a Vermont registered vehicle and Trooper Foerster, backed up Trooper Harper. Shots were fired from within the vehicle at the troopers. There was an exchange of gunfire. In the exchange, Trooper Harper was wounded in the left shoulder and arm. Trooper Foerster was found near his patrol car, deceased. (New Jersey State Police / Tim Larsen)
