I really enjoyed this one. It's only 542 pieces, but there's a surprising amount packed into the finished camp, with the covered wagon, tent, campfire, figures and loads of little details that make the whole scene feel alive.
One of my favourite things about LumiBricks sets is the way they handle the lighting. Rather than just running wires wherever they'll fit, the build uses specially designed pieces and routes to keep them hidden. Once everything is finished, you're looking at the model and the lighting rather than a load of wires, and it makes a massive difference.
The lighting works particularly well here. The warm glow around the wagon and tent gives the whole camp a great atmosphere, while the red light in the campfire really brings the centre of the scene to life.
There are some brilliant little details too. The cooking area on the back of the wagon is probably one of my favourites, and even things like the little vulture in the dead tree give it loads of character.
It's a fairly compact set, but it doesn't feel empty or basic. There's something going on almost everywhere you look, and once the lights are switched on it makes a really nice display piece.
This was actually my second time building this set, and I enjoyed it all over again. It's a great little Western build and one I'm very happy to have back on display.
