Winston Cooper Posted April 16, 2011 That is truly impressive! I'm in love with your lion statues. The use of plates on the roof adds a unique touch to your building that would be difficult to find somewhere else in the Lego world. Great Job and thanks for sharing!

tanduay66 Posted April 9, 2013 (edited) Hi, was actually seeking for details from the Hall of Complete Harmony to try to build this building in digital lego, and after that decide to build in real bricks or not. Then I discovered your building of TianAnMen, wonderfull to see tiose details! Is there any chance to get some more details of your building? I would rebuild this digital with MLCad and build in real bricks. Greetings, tanduay66 Edited April 9, 2013 by tanduay66 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hey Joe Posted April 9, 2013 Whoa, so awesome! I love it, especially the stone lions. Any chance you could share some of the building techniques for classic Chinese architecture with us here? The little Toys R Us truck is cute, I was at one today here in Beijing with my boy, we got the new little Creator eagle set. Thanks, Joe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tarpal Posted April 9, 2013 Speechless! Do use Lego to do up Chinese architecture so well! Perfect! How many bricks did you use? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
