Elysiumfountain Posted June 14 Posted June 14 I present, Version 2.0 of my LEGO Queen Anne Victorian dollhouse! (I'm still working on getting the bricks to build it in real life). I have loved Victorian houses since I was a little kid, and my absolute favorite is the George Comstock House, in Bridgeport CT (It's in one of those illustrated magazine floor plans from the time period, in 1891, but I can't seem to find any real life photos of it, doesn't exist anymore). Another great love of mine is designing things with LEGO bricks, so naturally I had to try and put the two together. I've learned that Victorian houses are really, really hard to execute properly in LEGO form! My first attempts were absolute messes. But I've slowly been getting better at it. Earlier this year I entered LEGO's Bricklink Designer program with an earlier version of this MOC. Sadly, it didn't make it, but I've been taking the time to modify it a bit. Some of the furniture was a bit too big scale wise, so I redesigned it. I was also able to add a partial back to it, a kitchen, and do some landscaping to improve the blockiness of the base. The living room furniture is my absolute favorite, the bookshelf and the potted plants I'm dying to create in real bricks. (I ordered the parts from Bricklink, so I should be able to build them on Monday!) I already have an absolutely enormous Playmobil Victorian dollhouse at home that I've added to and painted and customized. Decided it might be time to try and create a LEGO dollhouse version with furniture that was somewhat similar. Following the advice of several members of the Dollhouses subreddit, I submitted this build as an entry in Ideas (due to the increased parts count limit and less competition from castles like in BDP). There are more photos and angles of the entry that can be found at the link below (it is also available for consideration/voting, any support would be greatly appreciated): Queen Anne Victorian Let me know what you think! Comments are always appreciated :) Update: I received the parts to build the living room and dining room furniture in real bricks, and they look so cute! Quote

Feuer Zug Posted June 16 Posted June 16 The design is superbly detailed and well thought out. Seeing the brick construction starting is a good sign. Quote

Thank you so much! I spent quite a few hours last weekend sorting through all my loose parts and it looks like I have about 30% of the pieces. The rest I'll get from BrickLink :) Quote

Elysiumfountain Posted June 26 Author Posted June 26 I wanted to see how this ranked size-wise against my other Victorian house MOCs, it's the second largest of the bunch! The largest stands at 10,827 pieces and the smallest at 2,243. Quote
Wesley D Posted June 29 Posted June 29 Impressive dollhouse, it is beautiful! The furniture and interior elements are fantastic. Such great mini-builds! It is also huge. A bit too big for my limited space and to fit in between my modular collection, but I'm supporting it on LEGO Ideas anyway. I'm looking forward to seeing it built in bricks. I wish you a lot of fun building it! Quote

I wish you a lot of fun building it! Many thanks for the kind words and support! Yes, I definitely made it more dollhouse scale, I tried to downsize it to modular scale to make it fit better, but the tower didn't want to translate because the angles got too weird. Although I'll have to keep trying. I'm just waiting on the parts orders for the ground floor at the moment, and I spent at least 5 frustrating hours the other day getting the stickers put on the ground floor windows. But they do look pretty! I'll have to update real brick photos as I built it (may take a bit, it's expensive so I'm spreading it out over a few months) Quote
