Graysmith Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 (edited) So I was looking at the review of the new Big Ben Architecture set and I couldn't help but feel that it looks way too skinny and oddly proportional being 3-wide. So I decided I'd re-do it in the same style (more or less) but in 4-wide. Then I got a little carried away and made the clock part 5-wide so it looks even more like the real thing. I'm quite pleased with it, but I'm no MOC-building expert by any means either. The only thing I wished looked better would be the lower section of the roof which isn't that tall in reality. Too bad (and really odd) that LEGO doesn't make those corner slopes in 2-brick height. 329 pieces.

Mr Copperhead Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 Cool, yours looks much better than the set. That clock sticking out just bugs me! Quote
DLuders Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 You're right -- the 4-wide version looks more realistic than the 3-wide version in the Architecture set: Quote
LEGOfan123 Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 Nice LDD MOC Graysmith! I think that your version looks more realistic than the real set! Good job! LEGOfan123 Quote
