dutchmadebricks Posted February 5, 2021 Posted February 5, 2021 Watch the recreation of an old city gate to enter the city Leiden, Netherlands. It's called the Morspoort (Mors gate) dated from 1669. A few weeks ago I created the topic [MOC] Sweet red mill. After photo 4 I added this project to my lego city. Quote
Man with beard Posted February 5, 2021 Posted February 5, 2021 So beautiful! Thank you for sharing this. My favorite detail I see so far is the technique for those arched windows on the front. Quote
JintaiZ Posted February 5, 2021 Posted February 5, 2021 Great build! Nice building techniques for the roof! Quote
peedeejay Posted February 5, 2021 Posted February 5, 2021 Awesome! The dome and the bridge are fantastic! Quote
Dutch Thriceman Posted February 6, 2021 Posted February 6, 2021 It looks very Dutch indeed, I especially like the use of the Friends (sticker) tile, even that (Stephanie) vibes very Dutch haha Quote
Sir Iron Posted February 6, 2021 Posted February 6, 2021 Fantastisch! I recognized it immediately, when working from home I sometimes work from nu Parents home in Leiden, I past it on my daily walk, even more now that its part of the singelroute. You did an excellent job!! Quote
Vaiman Posted February 6, 2021 Posted February 6, 2021 I had to do a double take. I recognized it immediately as I visited Leiden daily pre-covid. But I couldn't believe that you MOC'd the exact building I cycled through so often! What a great MOC! I love the authentic shaping and colour layering with the white highlights. And the surroundings of the building are so lively and colourful! Also, I love the amount of bicycles featured. Very authentic XD Quote
Stuartn Posted February 6, 2021 Posted February 6, 2021 That looks great, the overall detail is outstanding and I love the windmill. Is the drawbridge functional? Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted February 7, 2021 Posted February 7, 2021 Superb! I like the working bridge and the beautiful fish market ... it's all very realistic! Quote
Captain Braunsfeld Posted February 7, 2021 Posted February 7, 2021 Excellent. A fine creation based on something fine in RL! Quote
Gainn Posted February 7, 2021 Posted February 7, 2021 Incredibly beautiful. I almost recognized it immediately. Quote
snaillad Posted February 7, 2021 Posted February 7, 2021 Welcome to EB! You've done a pretty good job recreating the scene. Well done on the dome especially! Quote
dutchmadebricks Posted February 19, 2021 Author Posted February 19, 2021 Thanks! Here is a closer look inside the dome. I think creating a dome in lego is always tuff to make. The other picture is a closer look to the arched window. Quote
StadinSteentjes Posted June 22, 2021 Posted June 22, 2021 (edited) Hi! I love what you've build about Leiden. Saw your video as well...
