Obviously building in LEGO bricks requires a lot of bricks, especially if you’re like me and don’t like to take apart good builds. I do plan to take builds apart eventually when I can make build notes and take decent pictures but for now I’ve been accumulating bricks that are the most common for my
I haven’t been at this for too long so it’s still a work-in-progress but here is a look at how I’m organizing my parts. My tables and bins are currently set up in my spare room, so any guests will have to sleep with the legos. 🙂 Right now I tend to prefer to work
The front of this reminds me of what might be a music hall. Or could be a owned by a religious cult, who knows.
This turned out a much more satisfying micro-city than the first test. I was able to get the feel of a viable city with an interesting skyline and ultra-micro features.
I’m not quite sure what this was supposed to be other than me looking at a Technic-hole brick and thinking I could create the appearance of very super-micro arches by blocking the bottom 1/2 of the brick. Ended up with a micro Greek pillar building in the end. Will play with this method again soon.
First city-like build, not really planned. It’s a little inconsistent, I was just playing with building shapes.
While planning & waiting for part orders on the larger build, I put together a quick micro-build version of Griffith Observatory (minus the landscape & right cafe/deck area). Seemed to turn out pretty well and the frontside-top more closely resembles the real building than the larger model I’m putting together. I liked the challenge of
This is my initial build of Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles, it’s still in progress. The goal here was to do a medium size (non-micro) build – basically in-between a micro-scale and minifies-scale. I started out by planning the plate size needed and purchased a few of the rarer parts I didn’t have on-hand (mostly
Here are some ideas I’d like to try out: Blade Runner Theme (also using black, dark gray and brown as the primary colors) Mt Rushmore micro-version (but not cartoony, something that really looks like the monument) Golden Gate Bridge (color-match) Human face Something from West World (HBO series) LAX A recognizable city skyline, super-micro version
I didn’t know what I was building when I started, I just started putting a base together and see what came to mind.
