Staslegomaster Posted November 24, 2015 I'm under a great impression!!! I've been collecting LEGO sets for a quarter of a century but I seldom see anything compareble to your creation and level of techniques! How long have you been creating LEGO sets to become such a skillful master builder?!!! Such an unspeakable piece of art with unusual building techniques. I wish I learn from you. It looks very realistic. The longest I build is half a year. I like the playability of your creation and that you combined a few different ideas in one set. Perhaps we can exchange building techniques because I like some of your ideas. Wishing you success at the Brick2015! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eliza Posted November 24, 2015 Perhaps the most amazing thing I've seen in Lego. Absolutely stunning! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boromir Posted November 24, 2015 Can only repeat the praise from other posters here. It looks like the real thng. It is just amazing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Withacee Posted November 24, 2015 Smashing. Detailing perfect both inside and out, great colours and a great rendition of the original. Keep clicking those bricks together! It's so good! Can you show us pictures of the interior? Please? They're in the link under the main picture, gamejutzu. Prepare to be astounded, I definitely was.http://janetvand.deviantart.com/gallery/56892722/Her-Majesty-s-Theatre-London The second floor windows are not 100% purist, but as purist as I could get.In order to match the windows of the real-life theatre. I used 1x4x5 standard old windows and applied strips trimmed from official Lego sticker sheets to divide the panes. This was only done after several days of trialling all the purist possibilities I could think of, taking into consideration aesthetics and sturdiness. You are forgiven for that one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Konajra Posted November 24, 2015 Wow, very very nicely done. I love the interior as well as the lightning of it. I'll make sure to check it out in London. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xon67 Posted November 24, 2015 One of the coolest builds I have ever seen. The interior and full stage setting make it that much more amazing. If you don't mind my asking; is there a story behind choosing this for a MOC and was this a one-person build? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BricksMcgee Posted November 24, 2015 Brilliant! So much detail, and all beautifully done. Look forward to seeing it at Brick! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Missing Brick Posted November 24, 2015 Fantastic all round but the interior is jaw dropping. You've really captured that oppulent, gilt-edged, red velvet, over-the-top ornate decoration. Great job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is a - very sophisticated - built solution for that problem by lafabrick, see Just in case ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JanetVanD Posted November 24, 2015 In answer to Xon67's questions, I had it in the back of my mind to build a theatre of some sort after having looked at an old wooden architech's model in the Victoria & Albert Museum years ago. Then I went to see The Phantom of the Opera at Her Majesty's Theatre and loved it! During the intermission, I looked around the auditorium and thought "This is it!" So when I got home, I searched for pictures of the theatre and just got started. I will confess that about a third of the way through, when the detailing started to get really tricky, I started to have doubts about my own ability to build it as well as I had hoped to, and I worried that I had bitten off more than I could chew. This is where having supportive friends and family comes in, to give encouragement just when it is needed most. This has been primarily a one-person build,but "no man is an island" (or woman) so the above-mentioned moral support was very important. Also, since my daughter is extremely good at building minifigure characters, I gave her the job of creating the audience of hundreds of minifigures, which she managed to do without having any two figures alike! Finally, exhibiting this MOC will certainly not be a one-person job, since it will take at least two people to lift each section! (It comes apart into 5 sections for transport) There is a - very sophisticated - built solution for that problem by lafabrick, see https://www.flickr.c...04/8198159110/. Just in case ... That's a very clever way of dividing a window! I'll keep it in mind for the future. However, in the theatre, some of the interior can only be viewed by peering through the windows, so I needed to have a single, clear pane to allow as much visibility through it as possible.

The_Cook Posted November 24, 2015 I don't mean to be too critical because the rest of the model is absolutely sublime but it's missing a chandelier; the chandelier is critical to the plot of Phantom of the Opera. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JanetVanD Posted November 24, 2015 I don't mean to be too critical because the rest of the model is absolutely sublime but it's missing a chandelier; the chandelier is critical to the plot of Phantom of the Opera. You're right, of course, about the chandelier; I seriously considered building one but since the chandelier doesn't feature in the scene on stage, I decided to leave it out.
