Beautiful creations in LEGOland Germany

[El Bucanero]

Hi there town fans!

I've recently been to LEGOland Germany, and the Miniland was beautiful!

Because there are quite alot of ships I thought I should post this in the Pirate forum, but there also were some great city creations. And besides, I think I should be spending more time outside the pirate forum.

One of my favorite buildings, The Reichstag in Berlin:

The best LEGO sailing ship I've EVER seen! 8-

Wow; those are outstanding buildings, and the ship is amazing *wub*

I'm now wanting to visit Legoland Windsor (I haven't been in 6+ years!)

Thanks for the pics :'-)

For some reason I cannot see the third pic. :-(

You can click on the ''IPB image'' nest to the li'l white square with the red x in it. It worked with me ;-)

Thanks for the pictures, Mr Tiber *y*

I've been to LL Germany myself but it was 4 years ago.

Looks like they've improved with Miniland...

Oh and btw, I bought my BSB Legend in the shop there... Did they have any pirate sets this year?

I guess not but I thought I might ask you anyway...

Nah, they did have the U.S.S. Constellation, a glued model of the pirate captain and a towel with pirate on it but no pirate sets... :-(

Anyway, the pics!

Today's subject: Cars!

If I'm not mistaking, A Chevrolet Bel Air and a Chevrolet Impala:

Another Chevrolet Bel Air and a Buick roadmaster:

And a bit of classic cars:

Very nice, yes, and I have seen loads of the first pic on brickshelf! thanks for sharing.

Nice pictures. Thanks for sharing.

I see you had nice weather.

If I'm not mistaking, A Cadillac (left) and a Chevrolet:

A Cadillac and a Buick roadmaster:

You are mistaking. Both cars you called Cadillacs are in fact 1957 Chevrolet Bel Airs. The car you correctly identified as a Chevrolet is a 1959 Chevrolet Impala.

Mind you, it's nice to see it's possible to identify certain cars, not at least which model years they are, that these models are based on.

Great photo's, Mr Tiber!

I like those cars, actually the car that is in my avatar is the one on the left (in both photo's) you mistook for a Cadillac.... It is on the cover of the Ultimate Legobook and I recreated it from there. I made the blue one as well, but in red.

I probably knew the blue one was a Chevrolet because I've owned that car in matter of speaking.

You owned it? In what matter of speaking?

Yes, I noticed, great work! But how do you make cars like those? I'd really like to be able to build cars like that.

Well, since I'm not allowed to drive a car yet, It was my dad who owned it, in white with green top.

Thank you, as for the building of those kind of cars: just practice, practice, practice like me. I tried lots of different models time after time and I took them all apart again after seeing that they were not going to look right. The chrome parts are hard to come by, very expensive on BL.

The car on the cover of the Ultimate Lego book was quite hard to do from that single picture, I spend hours looking at the photograph finding out what pieces were used in what way: bucket handles for the front bumper for instance, those professional builders are ingenious!

Only recently, I found a brickshelf folder that also shows the backside of the car, here it is, it looks like someone just abducted the model from one of the Legoland parks.
