Railway station of Limoges, and more...

Recommended Posts

Hi there !

Here is my latest creation, completed about 1 month ago.

It is the railway station of Limoges, obviously made for the city of Limoges (France).

It is made out of 12,500 elements and required 90 hours of work, trip to Limoges included.

The design process was very interesting. Plenty of details, and some were tricky to achieve. I had a lot of fun doing the model. All the documents I had about the building (plans, and TONS of photo) were very helpful.

Note that the new Big Ben was quite helpful to design my own tower. :)

Not to mention that I could have nice printed dishes thanks to that set.


 

And 2 others creations, still for the city of Limoges.

Porcelain, and a basketball of the CSP, the famous basketball club of the city..


2200 elements :

Hope you enjoyed that presentation. And if you have any question, feel free to ask. :)

Incredible. The tiny details are remarkable and I am impressed beyond words. Looking at stock photos of it on google, you nailed it. You should be proud. This would show well at a convention.

I really need to figure out a neat building so I can do something in that scale. It does sound challenging and fun.

Also, I love the trains. They look detailed enough at that scale. Now I just need to figure out how to build an actual engine at that scale for my mini Hogwarts Express.

Wow!  Really great work.  I especially like all the roof work details on the station.  The use of the different slopes on the dome is well done... and the overall size is impressive too!

Congratulations on some very nice models.  Nice detail work on the train station. Good job on getting your basketball to look round.  I haven't seen that technique before. And I just love the tea set... Very unique! Any plans for a creamer and pot?  Well done fellow brickster!

Among all the creations I did over the last 12 months, I think this one is my favorite. :)

Nope. Nothing like that in the pipe at the moment. :)

Wow, kudos to you for your dedication. It's clear that you made this model to the best of your capabilities, hence it looks great!

Just out of curiosity, are you planning to keep this assembled? Seems like it would be hard to find a spot for it. :tongue:

I got back from my first tour of Europe this summer, and everywhere was beautiful; it's a magnificent representation of the architecture.

It will remain built for a long time.

Indeed, it will be displayed in the showroom of an architect for 1 year, and then, it is supposed to go to the townhall of Limoges.

Ooh the roundness of the dome puts LEGO's Insult of Hoth Ion Cannon to shame, shame!

It's cool you noticed that. :)

 

There was some 3D work for it (3DS Max, if I remember correctly).

That is amazing! Glad to know your MOC is getting such recognition. :sweet: Thanks a lot for sharing and can't wait to see what you do next.

Wow! The train station just blew me away with its very cool design....way to go! I like the classic simplicity of the exterior. It has just the right amount of details. The trains look wonderful inside the station. And what an honor to have it displayed for a year in Limoges. 

The basketball made me laugh being a resident of North Carolina where basketball is KING!

And the porcelain is just lovely! Modern designs are my favorite when it comes to porcelain, silver flatware and crystal. You would have a blast walking through the museum in the gigantic china /silver/crystal store called Replacements, Inc., about 90 minutes from us in Greensboro, NC. Your design would fit perfectly with the thousands of patterns they carry.

Congrats on three outstanding builds. That is a lot of brick put to very good use!

The three creations are just superb!! The railway station is worth a famouse LEGO exhibition. The tea set can be on display for future guests of  the LEGO House in Billund in 2017 when the park will be 50.

The ball looks increadebly round. You're veeery skillful. Are there any of your creations in LEGO ideas?

It's great comparing your MOC with the image of the real thing. You did a fantastic job at simplifying the complex design into a miniature model. Well done!

That is the key when designing Lego models. :)
