Exetrius Posted December 13, 2018 (edited) Somewhere in England, in a rather peculiar mansion, lives a rather wealthy gentleman with a passion for plants... I didn't feel like writing an elaborate backstory. This creation was built specifically for a collaborative steampunk display at LEGO World Utrecht 2018, see the pictures below. I'm not a big fan of steampunk so I decided to build something that would fit in with Victorian/Renaissance/steampunk spirit. This was my first attempt at the genre, as well as my first attempt at building a modular. The building breaks apart in three sections of 32x32 studs. I was ambitious and tried to do an interior for the first and second floor of the house section, but ultimately ran out of time to work it out. Moreover, I didn't have the pieces to make the floors and roof come off easily, so it's far from a true modular. Nevertheless, I'm happy with how the exterior turned out; it was a great practice in building architectural features. Pics of the collab: (Botanic greenhouse by BrickRebel) That's it, thanks for looking! C&C appreciated! Edited December 13, 2018 by Exetrius Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kristel Posted December 13, 2018 No excuses required - it looks great both by itself and as part of the collab! I particularly like the main skylight and the trim above the front door. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LegoModularFan Posted December 13, 2018 Looks great, I just love its color scheme and the unfinished look it has! The greenhouse on the back is probably my favorite part though, I just love the way you used those big transparent pieces and how luxury it looks! Keep up the great work!

I used UCS Snowspeeder cockpits for the skylight. 14 hours ago, LegoModularFan said: Looks great, I just love its color scheme and the unfinished look it has!

As said, the greenhouse is by BrickRebel though, not by me. 14 hours ago, LEGO Train 12 Volts said: What a gorgeous botanic garden ...I love it! Me too! I was really happy with how well both of our builds matched up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mylenium Posted December 15, 2018 Looks lovely. The only thing that seems to be missing is a big ground level door as it would often be found on greenhouses/ aboretums/ orangeries to move stuff in and out. Mylenium Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mona_maomao Posted December 16, 2018 I like the ground and the plants. They look very real. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
