Attack on the Blacksmith Shop (Qiji 2314)

About this set

KEEPPLEY 2314, the Assault Blacksmith Shop from the Castle series, is a fantasy-medieval build listed at 368 pieces on the box, ages 6+, difficulty 2/5. The palette runs blue, gray, brown and gold, and the smithy itself has a chimney and a hoist arm, with barrels and a water wheel alongside. Extras include a catapult/ballista-style war cart, a white tiger mount and minifigures, so it reads as a small attack-and-defend scene rather than a plain display piece. Build the shop body and chimney first, pressing the blue, gray and brown layers together, then add the hoist arm, and save the water wheel and barrels for last so you are not pulling apart small sub-builds. The cart and mount go together afterward, which makes it easier to line them up with the minifigures. The fiddly spots are the hoist and water wheel connection points, where clutch has to seat cleanly the first time. It suits fans of medieval fantasy who want a story-driven scene from 368 pieces, and the 6+ tag makes it a reasonable parent-and-child build.
