-GZ- Posted March 18, 2012 (edited) B-OM-14C This was my main LEGO work for nearly 8 months! The first idea was to create a modular using the techniques of my Palace MOC (http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=55755&view=findpost&p=994092). There weren't any real inspiration building at first, but then I created another, totally different project inspired by Palais Daun Kinsky ... There are results. With my 10211: Close-up views: Back (old building, modern owners?) The interiour... I think that there is enought interiour on the ground floor, but about the first and the second ones... The restoration is in progress. I couldn't find enough parts for it. The building was made without virlual project - the facade cannot be made with LDD, and I cannot use LDRAW) There were more than 3 large bricklink orders hovewer. About the 1st and the 2nd floors, there are no interiour. I've placed some minifigs here. On www.doublebrick.ru, we have Lego Mafia games just like you have here on Eurobricks. This building was used as decorations for my latest Mafia Game (since I'm the most popular game host there), and most figs are the characters from the game. The roof is very heavy because there is a brick pyramide inside it to hold the roof tiles made of 300+ 1x2 slopes. The building process: started with another project in August, ended in February. I'm wauting for you comments! Thanks for viewing! Edited March 19, 2012 by Phred Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted March 18, 2012 Beautiful building. You are absolutely made the Baroque style! I love the front of this building! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alex54 Posted March 18, 2012 Great baroque building! The fact that you put some bricks upside down in the font add some nice details and an unusual way of seeing those bricks. Very ingenious! The colours work well together. And a dark tan roof is not that common too, but it's nice! Maybe just one crossbow in the triangle section is a little too light in term of details, compared to the rest of the building. But it works neveretheless.

-GZ- Posted March 18, 2012 (edited) Thanks! Now I think that it would have been better if I had built 3 different Baroque fasade walls without other walls or modularity)) About the roof, I don't like the black one on it. According to Palais Kinsky, it would be better with sand red slopes: But corner ones in sand red don't exist) And sand red slopes are very expensive since they're very rare.

lightningtiger Posted March 18, 2012 AWESOME modular structure with great exterior detailing (that's a lot of 1x2 tile with stud's there ). Great party on the inside, hopefully not too wild.....you would have to rebuild it ! Brick On '-GZ-' ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redhead1982 Posted March 18, 2012 This is a wonderfully detailed exterior! I am amazed by the use of some bricks in SNOT style. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
streifen Posted March 18, 2012 ur facade is just mind-blowing! so many details on there! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LegoMyMamma Posted March 18, 2012 So much detail! Very enjoyable to look at over & over again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snaillad Posted March 18, 2012 Some very good parts usage here. Very impressive build. Keep up the good work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
L@go Posted March 18, 2012 (edited) I just have to agree with the others - that's a spectacular facade. You've created an extraordinary look by using unorthodox methods - the undersides of the bricks and plates help making the surfaces different. The facade on the ground floor is particularly well done, with the 1x2 jumper plates. Apart from that, the detailing's excellent, too. I'm just wondering why somebody would put a speeding ticket on their wall? Edited March 18, 2012 by L@go Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
caperberry Posted March 18, 2012 I haven't much to say that hasn't been said already - but this is too wonderful not to chime in! I especially love the lintels of 'studs-in' bricks! It's sucha beautiful texture and it doesn't often get used. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Freddie Posted March 18, 2012 I can just agree with everyone else. The facade is fantastic, and gives of the impression of an old, but restored and perhaps repurposed, building. Great work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
F0NIX Posted March 18, 2012 Fantastique facade! First time I have seen the use of bricks with the "wrong" side out :) But it actually works very well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-GZ- Posted March 19, 2012 Many thanks to everybody for the comments! The speeding ticket works like price-list\information list or something like that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MetroiD Posted March 19, 2012 I must agree with L@go. While it is a very impressive build, what really makes it stand out for me is the use of jumper plates for the first floor facade. A very ingenious solution; it gives the exterior a very interesting look, without it being too cluttered. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dosto_tube Posted March 22, 2012 Very good exterior. It seems so real. Good work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
