Lasse Posted January 27, 2022 Posted January 27, 2022 Tórshavn is the capital and largest city of the Faroe Islands. Together with my mother Anne Mette, I have built this LEGO model of the old town in Tórshavn. The model is built in scale 1:125. It is one of the largest LEGO models we have built. It is 3.15 meters long and 1.15 meters wide. We built it for the LEGO exhibition in the shopping center SMS in Tórshavn, which was held 11 - 23 October 2021. Here is a photo from Google that shows what it looks like in real life: Tórshavn Cathedral is built in 1788. The cathedral lies in the north of the peninsula of Tinganes and is one of the main attractions of the town. Like most churches of the country it belongs to the Evangelical-Lutheran national church of the Faroe Islands. Since 1990, it has been the seat of the Bishop of the Faroes and is therefore known as a cathedral: The bookstore in the old town in Tórshavn: There are many small narrow streets in the old town of Tórshavn: Tinganes is the historic location of the Faroese government. The name means "parliament point" in Faroese. The parliament met there for the first time in the Viking ages when Norwegian colonists placed their Ting (parliament) on the location in 825. It is one of the oldest parliamentary meeting places in the world. Many of the houses on Tinganes were built in the 16th and 17th centuries and are still in use today: More photos: LEGO Tórshavn – scale 1:125 | Flickr Quote

Feuer Zug Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 You and your mother nailed recreating the town. The size of your diorama is insane, and yet you still matched it with the real world. Brick On! Quote
