Would you like to build a mini version of LEGO Castle 6077 Forestmen’s River Fortress? Then here is a list of all the pieces you need to build th classic set but smaller!
Released in a trickle over several years during the late 1980s and early 1990s, Forestmen only amassed a handful of larger sets, the crown jewel of which was 6077 Forestmen’s River Fortress. Looking like somewhere that the Lost Boys from Peter Pan might live, this half tree, half castle hybrid rises from a lake.
It boasts a working portcullis, functional drawbridge and the entire back of the structure opens up for access to the interior, where a jail can be found. Forestmen swing from many branches to fire arrows and spears at any knights who stumble upon their hidden fortress.
The instructions for building the model are in the Blocks Book of Retro LEGO Sets Volume II. You can buy the magazine here. If you subscribe to Blocks, you’ll get at least three new sets of LEGO build instructions in every monthly edition!
Blocks, the monthly LEGO magazine, provides exclusive instructions for models you won’t find anywhere else.
