Skrytsson Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 My parents own a summer house, close to the small town Katrineholm, Sweden. The house was, when they bought it 8 years ago, in very bad condition due to that it stood empty for several decads. However, today it is in better condition. Anyway - I just had to build this house in LEGO! To make the model fit in one of IKEA's vitrine products I tried to create it in a as small scale as possible (but still in a size which makes it possible to recreate the windows in a good way). I think what I'm most happy about with this creation is the choice to use studs on the roof - I think that creates a great contrast towards the smooth walls. You are able to find a reference picture of the real building at the end of this post. When the regular slope-parts (http://www.bricklink...asp?P=3040]3040[/url]) are attached to each other you don't achieve the 45 angle I was looking for. So instead I used a combination of http://www.bricklink...asp?P=3040]3040[/url] and http://www.bricklink...p?P=92946]92946[/url] Could this building be built in an even smaller scale? Sure... Comparison - which one do you like the most? (The big one consists of appr. 1400 parts, the small one 300). This is what the real house looks like: Hope you enjoy it! Quote
lightningtiger Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 So cute and cool......using those 1x1 corner panels as chairs....genius......excellent building 'Skrytsson' and Brick On ! Quote
snaillad Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 Great representations! Really like the roof, wish I had a a summer house that big, let along a house that big! Quote
eurotrash Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 Both of them are very faithful renditions of the original and you're right about the studded roof - it definitely contrasts with the smooth walls. That's an interesting design for the chimneys and I can see why you chose to do it that way. I like it a lot. Thanks for sharing it with us! Quote
Hey Joe Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 Hey! I was expecting a little cabin, what a huge summer home! You really did it justice with both builds. Joe Quote
Redhead1982 Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 Nice work. Both the micro and mini-scale houses look nice. I'm impressed by all the SNOT work - the chimneys and the corners of the house. Quote
timmyc1983 Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 Lovely builds both of them! I love the angles of the roof in the larger model, very cleverly done in both models though. I too love the corners of the house and the great use of SNOT throughout the build! Great work and happy building Quote
