Welcome back to the colorful hustle and bustle at the Medieval Spectaculum!

Like every year, locals are as excited as hobby knights and maids from all over the region: A festival where young and old can relive the Middle Ages. The narrow, cobbled streets are packed with lovingly and detailed designed market stalls and attractions.

Heart of the event and central place is the old town hall - the city's favorite. Whit its exhibition it offers culture-loving visitors the opportunity to explore the medieval world, while the little ones invent their own knight stories in the outdoor area. Of course, under grandma’s supervision.

At the juggler's stage, spectators can admire some wonderful, more or less dangerous performances and watch the fireworks every evening. On the ship swing, children can prove that knights can also be great sailors. Medieval Music Revival (MMR) is once again providing musical entertainment this year. And they have a lot of fun doing it. Finally, the market is a great place to stroll. In addition to the merchant with her (mainly wooden) replicas of medieval equipment, berry juice, wine and other delicacies can be bought from the winemaker. Archery and ax throwing skills can also be tested here.

Curious? Don't hesitate and visit the Medieval Spectaculum.

About the project:

As some of you have probably realized, this set is an update to my submission for BDP Series 3 & 5. Essentially, I wanted to reduce the number of parts, including the minifigures, and do it without stickers (all compered to (compared to BDP 3) - in order to make the set more affordable. We are now at around 3125 parts instead of around 3800 parts. Of course, the result should still appear very detailed and inviting. Even though it was difficult for me, I'm almost satisfied and hope you are too.

You can read more about the original project or my intention in the Bricklink Designer Program Series 3/5 archive, or feel free to ask me in the comments. In summary, I had attended a similar festival and thought it would be an exciting challenge and thought the mix of castle and city was great.

I'd also be happy to receive your feedback, and if you'd like, please feel free to check out my other creations in the competition as well.

Sincerely, Tobi aka MM.
