Held Prisoner at the Outlaws' Lair (built by my little bro)

[soccerkid6]

This was built by my 11 year old brother.

After being ambushed by outlaws, Kendrick and his companions were taken to the robbers hideout.
Basil had managed to escape as the thieves didn't pay much attention to the goat. This proved to be a serious mistake as Basil followed the group to the outlaws lair. The captives were placed in the ruins of what seemed to be a tower:

One of the outlaws prepared some food by the campfire while the other two made sure the prisoners were behaving themselves. As the two thieves headed back towards the campfire the one in the lead was head butted by Basil:

The bandit eating by the fire was very surprised, and rather amused, to see his two companions knocked over by the goat:

Picking up his sword he walked toward Basil, still snickering at his friends' embarrassing fall:

When the first thieves had been knocked over, one of them had dropped his knife within reach of Kendrick. Kendrick quickly started to cut his bonds on the knife. Meanwhile Basil knocked the third thief right into the fire!

By now the first two thieves to fall were back on their feet and going after the goat. The unfortunate fellow who had been knocked into the fire tried to smother his burning clothes:

Kendrick had finished cutting his ropes now, and moved to free his friends:

As he did so one of the thieves tackled Basil:

The bandits were in for a surprise though:

The outlaws were tied up then forced to walk with Kendrick and his friends as their prisoners:

Thanks for looking, my little brother would appreciate any feedback on the build.
The next scene of Kendrick's travels is coming soon and will be the biggest one yet!

Tell your brother that he's already showing signs of becoming a great castle builder! The crumbling walls look really good.

You say he's only 11? Man, I wish I had started building seriously when I was his age!

great scene, your brother should make an account, he's really good!

When I was 11 I was building rainbow stuff with 2x4s. >.>

Your bro is really good, I'd like to see more!

Wow thats pretty good. To bad your brother isn't old enough to join CC yet.

I'm sure he would, but under the TOS he is not old enough to.

Having said, two years from now CC will gain another talented builder, even one so young. The build does give a very ruined feel. All of the exposed studs do wonders to make it feel old and run-down. Great job to your brother!

@Aeridian: Thanks! And his skills have nothing to do with my being so actively involved in the online LEGO community

@mpoh98: Thanks, but as SSchmidt said he has to wait until he's 13

@Gavin of Lockwood: Thank you, and he has another build coming soon that is his biggest yet

@SSchmidt: Yup, he's waiting patiently for the time when he can join. Won't be too much more than a year from now as his birthday is coming up.
Glad you like the run-down effect, this was my favorite build of his so far

[mpoh98]

Ah ok, can't wait for him to turn 13!

Man, tell your brother that he's very good indeed! I look forward to the time when he can join Classic-Castle
