6ix: I can only say one thing: Get it! It is so much fun, and that comes from a dude who mostly builds technic :) Today's build is an architecture version of the coming Ghostbusters Firestation Headquarters set. I am happy how the lower part turned out, but had some building stress at the upper parts and had to make a lot of shortcuts and compromises. And yes, if you look closely you can see that I only built one out of four walls

BrickOn, Thank you! Now you got me curious. please give me some more hints about the building???

So far I have been avoiding the rounded bricks and pieces in my Studio set, simply because I don't know what to do with them. To overcome my fear for the rounded, I made two small Art Deco pieces. The first one is inspired from Jerry's Famous Deli, by Henry Hohauser. As you can see, I used a photo from Tom Alphin's The Lego Architect as sort of a model. The second building is inspired from an Art Deco building in Portsmouth.

Thanks! I use white for several reasons. Mostly because i like the simplicity of it. I do not have to chase bricks and pieces all the time, or wait for bricklink orders to come in. Instead I can focus on building. And i do not have to look for perfection by finding the perfect part. That gives me a lot of pleasure. I also think it looks good and gives certain challenges to only work with one colour. However I have started to use black also sometimes, for example in small windows.

Last days works: German staircase One Woodward Avenue, Detroit, by Minoru Yamasaki Some more German stairs and a facade Some balconies And finally two minimalistic facades

Thanks santaends! I get the pictures mostly from Instagram. I especially look for modernism, brutalism, etc and then when I find something I like, and it looks like I can build it in one evening, then I save it to my gallery. Then when the kids are asleep I chose a picture depending on time and what I feel like doing.

Iria, thank you so much for the kind words and for the advice about image search. That will definitely be helpful. Regarding the catwoman I actually thought it looked too good to have been taken by some random dude on Instagram. Therefore I did some research this morning and found out it was Smart. I would like to buy a copy and frame it, it is one of the best photos I have ever seen, bjt I guess they dont come cheap :)

Wednesday's and Thursday's pieces: Unknown wall in an unknown place by unknown architect. I really love the original photo! Pilatis of BergenTown Hall, Norway, architect Erling Viksjo. I had problems taking a picture of this as I wanted to show both the tiles of the ground and the details/structure of the ceiling. It was difficult/ with iphone camera and I wasn't really successful.

Thanks Graham and FonsoSac. It must be great to live close to Torres Blancas I hope one day I will have the opportunity to see those white towers in real life.

Would it be possible for you to either describe the lightbox or maybe take a picture of it? Did you do any after processing of the photos? I would like to make a lightbox with black background, as I use that most of the time.

Thank you Andy, very kind!

I like it very much! Myself i am only using white bricks from the 21050 Architecture Studio set, but this clearly shows the benefits of using more colours :)

6x6 cargo truck (wip)
Askan replied to kb7's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Yes more detailed pictures would be great and appreciated. I tried to understand the description but didn't make it all the way :) Keep up the good work! -
6x6 cargo truck (wip)
Askan replied to kb7's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I like it and it looks like something I can learn from! Maybe stupid questions from a beginner, but I don't understand how some parts work: How are the "liftarm frames" (don't know the word) in the rear axles attached? You also have some links between them. How is the the steering working? -
[MOC] Monster Truck 'Hulk'
Askan replied to paave's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
This is a very very nice model you have created. Just love the second picture without the wheels. Also a nice clean look with cool colour scheme. . -
Really nice to see these rebuilds. I just love the colours of the old technic sets.

Which set should I buy?
Askan replied to kb7's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
For parts I would buy 42009 and then bricklink the rest. An alternative if you want power function is buy 42030 when you find them for a good price. Sometimes you can find a 42030 for a price lower than the PF parts + wheels together and then you will get a big bunch of yellow liftarms as a bonus :) -
Awesome multicoloured Technic truck
Askan replied to Richard Dower's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
It looks like Europe is one step behind when it comes to colouring your commuting Manila was my first time working abroad and it made such strong impressions on me. Actually I was not allowed for safety reasons to go to work in a jeepney but who could resist those colour bombs??
