[MOC] Railway Department of Taiwan (Phase 1)

[microdem]

Hi everyone, I am a new member since 2019. It's my first post to share my moc on eurobricks forum.

My “LEGO Historical Building Project” this year focuses on the Railway Department of the Government-General of Taiwan. The main building of the railway department was constructed from 1919 to 1920 in Taipei city by Japanese architect Moriyama Matsunosuke (1869 - 1949). It's a very large building, so I need to divide it into several sections to work on. The Phase 1 model includes the central section of the main building, comprising 7,135 brick parts and measuring 60.8 x 57.2 x 45.1 cm in dimensions.

Here is a speed build animation video on YouTube:

Wow that is a stunning building. Both in LEGO and the real version. Really great work @microden. Also: welcome again to Eurobricks and thanks for sharing!

Really nice realistic build!

There's a lot of great details here. My favourites are the variety of roofs - especially the ingot bricks and the way you tucked them away at the edges, very clever!

Ooh, impressive. That is looking awesome!

Gorgeous building. The attention to details is amazing and really makes this creation pop. NPU with the fenders.

Impressive build! Can't wait to see the future additions. It will be even more impressive then!

The front wall is curved or has angled side sections? I can see it in your video, but how is it done?

There is a 0.2 mm "gap" between two bricks, so one brick can be rotate about 3 degrees.

I see, thanks. Do you plan to build the Railway Department with real bricks one day?

Haha...there is currently no such plan. The room space and budget are real problem.
