Matija Grguric Posted May 28, 2009 Hi! My major project is just completed. It is made of more than 25000 LEGO bricks. It measures over 150 x 85 cm. Check it out on MOCpages! Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marcosbessa Posted May 28, 2009 (edited) I've already seen it on MOCPages..... It's realy great!! The way you did all the details is awesome! I just would change one thing! The color! Tan would fit better, I think...... But you still did, as usual, an excellent work!! Edited May 28, 2009 by marcosbessa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matija Grguric Posted May 28, 2009 (edited) Tan would fit better, I think...... Well, it wouldn't. Zagreb has quite a few yellow buildings, it's quite odd acctually. But, I guarantee you, tan wouldn't fit better. Because everyone calls them yellow, and the color is quite specific. And it was like dirty yellow before, because of the smog. Today it's under a renovation, and they are painting it in almost LEGO like yellow. There are some more of yellow buildings in Zagreb, one even from the same architects. And this one is also made out of LEGOs by a friend of mine. http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/37369 Anyway, thanks for the comment!

Ras 74 Posted May 28, 2009 Ha ha ha... I was so confused Totally mixed you up with Pumich here first. Thought "did he create a new account or what". Good work Looks really great. Would be nice to see some referance pics. I could search for myself, but for all others that don´t have the energy to do so Edit your first post and add one or two pics. -Ras- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Green Hair Posted May 28, 2009 Wow, that is an amazing creation you have made there Matija! I really like all the small details and the glass roofs, wonderful. It looks exactly like the original, did you get the original build plans for it? And since there are glass roofs i am also curious if you have made an interior, as it would be nice to see stuff through them? All the Matija's build large yellow buildings it seems.

marcosbessa Posted May 28, 2009 Well, it wouldn't. (...) Yeah.... Maybe you're right! I realy liked the MOC though! And the other one, of your friend, I knew it already! Realy amazing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Freddie Posted May 28, 2009 I commented on this earlier today on MOCPages; it looks fantastic, and I always find it refreshing to see something like this built in something other than tan, but since I commented I've been wondering on one thing: Since you're bringing it to Brickworld, you'll be transporting it by air, I presume. Does it have any reinforcing behind the walls, or is it already sturdy enough when packed to not collapse during transport? I know Pumich had some rebuilding to do when he got his theatre back from Copenhagen, and should have since then started to reinforce the walls with technic beams. Just thinking that reassembling this would be a major PITA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlueBard Posted May 28, 2009 Masterpiece MOC! The entry facade is really really impressive Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MetroiD Posted May 28, 2009 Great to be able to welcome you here as well Matija! That has got to be one of the most impressive builds I've ever seen... period. (oh.. and... I love the yellow ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hinckley Posted May 28, 2009 Blogged! This is absolutely amazing. I really like the techniques you used in the architectural details. It's quite an inspiration, very amazing! I too would like to see it in tan, but understand your choice to keep it yellow. Painting all the buildings yellow? Yikes. But, it's one of the best MOCs I've ever seen. Absolutely amazing. Where will you display it? Will you build other buildings in the same scale to be part of a humongous layout? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ricecracker Posted May 28, 2009 Great job, Matija! I'm really impressed with all the details you've included, especially the glass roof. I can't wait to see this at Brickworld, three weeks is too long . And yes Hinckley, according to TBB, you'll be able to ogle at it at Brickworld . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erdbeereis Posted May 28, 2009 That's absolutely amazing! So many details, and accurate to the real thing down to the last brick. I actually like the yellow color. Not only does it look like the actual building, it also stands out from most buildings because of the color. I'm curious how you will go about transporting that huge MOC. One of the best MOCs I've seen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wednesdayware Posted May 28, 2009 Fantastic work. Well Done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Commodore Hornbricker Posted May 29, 2009 I had to do a double take on MOC pages when I saw the photo's the MOC is based on because I wasn't sure for a second which was which. I don't think I have ever seen a real building copied so perfectly and the size and scale is very impressive. The overall effect is stunning. You did an incredible job on every detail of which there are too many to count. I can't wait to see what you do next! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SeaKing61 Posted May 29, 2009 Mmmm, that's beautiful and yellow. If I had that many yellow bricks I'd fill the bath with them and dive right in. God, I love yellow. Sorry about that, forgot where i was for a minute. That's a fantastic building,Matija. A wonderful balance of size and detail. Fantastic. And so yellow..... drool Laurie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zorro Posted May 29, 2009 This is a fantastic creation! The sheer size of it and the fact it looks just like the Art Pavillion on the pictures you've added makes it even more impressive! The building itself (both the LEGO version as the real version) are very beautifull as well, with the yellow, and the darkgrey roof. A big fat from me!

MdrnMrvls Posted May 30, 2009 Gosh, that is amazing. Great use of the yellow bricks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slope65 Posted May 31, 2009 Amazing! How will you transport it to Brick World? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matija Grguric Posted June 8, 2009 Thank you guys for all the nice comments. I will transport it in two extra large samsonite hard plastic suitcases. And it goes with me on plane, of course. The building itself is modular, and is reinforced with technic a bit from the inside, to keep the walls together. Every module is wrapped in plastic, then taped, and then surrounded with lots of bubble wrap and then put in the suitcase... I sure hope it will come to Chicago safelly. If not... well, then I'll need some help to reasamble all the pieces. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Klaus-Dieter Posted June 8, 2009 That's an absolutely amazing MOC, Matija Grguric! I really it! The details are stunning and it looks absolutely realistic! The most I like the fountain, the entrance and the glass dome! Very, very well done! :thumbup: Btw: You didn't include some interior, did you?
