Jugendstil (Art Nouveau) railway station at Vienna

[hoopoe]

I’d like to kick off with one of my (sort of) master pieces. At least some of my local LUG like it and it was displayed at our local LEGO store.

It is a railway stop in Vienna, actually an underground-station of the line U6, but situated above floor level. The architect of the original building was Otto Wagner

https://en.wikipedia...iki/Otto_Wagner, world famous for Art Nouveau (Jugendstil) in Vienna, Austria.

It is my least „micro“-scale building I’ve ever built, the scale is approx. 1:100.

I’ve tried to show as much detail as possible and it showcases each and every door and bench. Just in the wings I had to reduce the number of windows from 8 to 6, to keep the symmetry with the archs below.

The roof rests like with the original building on the green stands, so they are functional even within my model. For the Nouveau-Art ornaments came mixel-teeth in quite usefully, as well as the round 1x1 mini-tiles.

Here’s a view into the building with the platform, therefor i removed the roof on one side.

However, I did not add a train, because I’m more interested in architecture than in trains.

Very nice station! My ISP is blocking your images (large version) though :(

Would be huge in minifig scale I guess!

Really nice build, I like all the details! (Makes me want to visit the original next time I am in Vienna).

just tell when you're in town, you would be warmly welcomed

it will also be exhibited in Mondsee (Upper Austria 5th to 6th of December, a good hour from munich)
