Dear Lego Lovers,

After months of work, I am proud to reveal my first project: The Highwayman. I created this project because I was inspired by the famous narrative poem by Alfred Noyes. It has been one of my favorites since I was in 7th grade. Now we can watch it come to life through the art of Lego!

Features:

The Old Inn, a tudor inspired and half framed timber tavern with 3 levels

a cozy fireplace on the first floor

grandfather clock, tables and chairs also on first level

bottled water and barrels of apple cider to quench the travelers' thrist

thatched roof and a stone chimney

4 bedrooms

detachable attic

adjustable hinged roof for easy access to inside of the inn

8 characters!

3 horses

1 dog

2 chickens

a crystal blue stream under a bridge

a stable

2 vegetable patches in the back yard (corn and tomatoes)

1 pink flower patch in the back yard

cobble stone winding road

the purple moor

2 custom made trees

FAQ:

"Who are the characters in this set?"

The Highwayman Bess, the landlord's daughter The Landlord Tim, the ostler Four red-coat soliders

​"Why didn't you just use the new Highwayman mini figure?"

I did not know there would be a Highwayman minifigure until late April. Until then, my Highwayman had a regular black cape, a larger bandana and a brown pistol. I swapped those three accessories with the new Highwayman cloak, smaller bandana and pewter pistol to elevate the main character. It was important to use a coat of claret velvet and brown doe breeches to honor the description in the poem.

"How long have you been building legos?"

I started building lego sets in January and started making my own creations in March.
