legoman666 Posted June 19, 2017 Posted June 19, 2017 (edited) Lit up during World of Lights at Brickworld. Greetings, I think this is my first non train MOC. The build is of course The Grand Budapest Hotel, a 2014 Wes Anderson film. Dimensions are 6" deep, 90" wide, and 42" tall. The build started out as this small corner as a proof of concept. Which then started to grow. And grow. Once I got certain sizing and details worked out, my work pace increased and my bank account balance decreased. The awning is a photography light diffuser. To get the quantity of tan windows I needed, I had to order them from Lego bricks and pieces. I cut the logo and detailing out of gold vinyl with my Roland BN-20. A problem I had was lack of space to set up the whole thing in one place. So my trains were out of commission for the time being. The dark pink areas on each wing are unique, but the bright pink are identical. And that's all the photos I have, hope you enjoy. Edited June 19, 2017 by legoman666 Quote
legoman666 Posted June 19, 2017 Author Posted June 19, 2017 Oh, for those of you who haven't seen the movie, here's the scale model the artist made for filming: Quote
Capt Wolf Posted June 19, 2017 Posted June 19, 2017 I snapped some pictures of this at Brickworld. Impressive! Quote
Niku Posted June 19, 2017 Posted June 19, 2017 WOW this is beyond i expected, great job it looks gorgeous!!! Quote
Borex Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 It is huge. So much pink. Awesome. Nice movie too. Quote
kreimkoek Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 (edited) Lovely, it is huge! Are there interiors? It only needs some pink masonry bricks on the first floor facade. Edited June 20, 2017 by kreimkoek Quote

The model is only 16 studs deep, including the walkway and walls in front, so there's no interior. Thanks everyone! Next part of the build is to add the funicular. Quote
grum64 Posted June 24, 2017 Posted June 24, 2017 Oh Boy. What a beautiful build. And that from a man who dislikes pink with a passion. Quote
legoman666 Posted June 25, 2017 Author Posted June 25, 2017 The Lego pinks weren't a perfect match, ideally I would've used the new bright pink and the old pink from Paradisa. But I don't think there would have been enough of the old pink in the entire world to build it. Anyway, the colors I picked had some nice contrast. Quote
Xon67 Posted July 17, 2017 Posted July 17, 2017 One of the funniest movies I have ever seen--and a great MOC. It looks great with the night time lighting. Quote
LucyCol Posted July 19, 2017 Posted July 19, 2017 Excellent piece of work, building the funicular should be interesting at that scale. Quote
Captain Braunsfeld Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 I just saw the movie last week - and I commented that a lego version wouldn't look too good. I was wrong. This is great! Quote
x105Black Posted July 22, 2017 Posted July 22, 2017 I love this, and seeing it inspired me to watch the movie (which I had been putting off for some reason). Really well done. I'd love to see a 1968 version. Any plans? Quote
