Alternative schemes

Hi everybody !

I am a newcomer here and I have a question: is there a website were you can get pictures of the old classical medieval sets. I am looking for the pictures on the back of boxes, where you can see alternatives buildings. Most of the times, you can see only the front picture of the box, never the back. Please help !

Hello Master Syl, www.brickshelf.com is a good place for pictures.
I don't think this is in the right place to put a topic like this though...

I don't think he's asking where to host photos (although you may just be saying he could find some there).

Anyway, Jojo has several alternatives in his gallery.

Well, thank you, that's a quick answer !

This is exactly what I was looking for: alternative pictures of castle 375. I have already visited brickshelf but I was unable to find this. Thanks a lot !

Welcome to CC Master Syl. Jojo's gallery is an excellent place to start. You will notice that he also has castle models from the 6000 Idea Book. On CC, we have built some sets' alternate models. Here are a few for you to check out:

http://www.classic-castle.com/sets/archives/6040.html
http://www.classic-castle.com/sets/archives/6041.html
http://www.classic-castle.com/sets/archives/6038.html

In the future I hope to add alternate pictures of more sets.

Beside what Ben already wrote

you can find here instructions for 1 of the alternates of 6054 (one of the best alternates in my opinion)

http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=100369

also if you are interested the idea books alternates

you can find here Ben and mine articles about them with several alternates models:

I am sure that Yaron made them himself. First we have to build the alternate model by looking at the picture on the back of the box. Then if we choose to, we make instructions to those models with Ldraw ( http://www.ldraw.org/ ). I also have a few alternate model and idea book instructions here: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=25430

Well, I have build the alternative "bridge-castle" from the idea book #6000, it's not so bad. Too bad I had not enough yellow bricks to build the back of the castle but on some pictures, it seems to have no back...

You are right, in the picture with the great tournament it seems as if the Bridge Castle doesn't have a rear side. On the last page, though, (Page 82) the back is visible.

You need the bricks from one Yellow Castle 375/6075 to make this Bridge Castle. When I first built this Bridge Castle I had to add one yellow arch. Later I learned, that this additional yellow arch was indeed part of the set. It came with several extra parts!
