KWK Promes - Safe House Legoized

[Methos]

I fell in love with the design of this house and decided to model it in Lego via LDD.

I used architectural drawings and photos from their website along with Google Earth.

Block Count: 5635

Model Weight (via LDD Manager): 27.22 lbs./12.34 kg.

Functional items:

- All Doors/Walls operateable (although I had to recolour the doors and use the colour select tool to select/move them)

- Sunroof are see through ans allow some light in and can open for air.

- Solar panel can turn to track the sun

Non "Functional":

- All but one chimney is not lined up or linked to any kind of structure to simulate a air flow ( One is lined up with the fireplaces and has extra pieces to simulate a flume)

Changes to design.

The biggest and most obvious is the large rear door. In reality it is a large one piece roller door. Since nothing in the Lego universe comes even close to that as far as I know, I created a tri-hinged door that can go up and then slide back into the structure.

Issues: There are 133 blocks that do not exist in the colour combinations picked. I chose the colours to accurately model the building as close as possible.

It my 1st big project I've posted although I have many more on my drive.

Here are 2 pics: One is fully open and the other is fully closed

As promised in another thread here are the LDD files for submission. Also open and closed:

The files were too large to upload so I am linking them from my website
