Shortly after finalising my latest project (Modular Brick School on Eurobricks) I had the idea to - instead of once again creating a classic modular - try something different by recreating a street scene from my hometown Vienna in a "modular package", i.e. on a 32x32 baseplate with modular-style buildings. First drafts were quickly drawn but due to being a father of two small kids with an interest in a fair amount of other stuff (travel, photography ...) the project soon got abandoned. Fast-forward (nearly three years later - OMG) to mid of July 2018. Seriously bad summer weather in Austria and a lack of interest to head out someplace else forced us to bunker in and that's when I rediscovered my old drafts and resumed working on them - this time using Bricklink's Studio application. The WIP now consists of two buildings - one inspired by the still prevalent medieval buildings in Vienna, the other one in a more recent "neo-classicistic" / "Gründerzeit" style from the mid 1900s. At the very center there is a small park / fountain (which I basically took directly from 40221 Fountain). Not perfectly happy with that yet (as it does not really "connect" to Vienna), and hence will probably be replaced in future renditions. Also, both buildings are basically empty, so interior is yet to be done as well. I will continue to work on it over the course of the coming weeks and see where I will finally end up with ;) Hope you like it and feedback is very, very welcome! /hermez

[MOC] Vienna International Center (UNO-Site of Vienna, Microscale)
hoopoe posted a topic in Special LEGO Themes
Ever since LEGO has released the architecture set of the UN Headquarters it was my idea, to put the VIC also to that scale. As you can see in the pic this was a fair bit challenging to put up with the 120° angles between the 3 buildings and groundplots with nearly just curves. The biggest problem was the roof until i found the white technic discs. -
The LEGO architecture series is a Landmark thing and it is very unlikely they would release something from Austria, since our fame comes more from Mozart and classical music. Nevertheless I tried to find one buiding, that would represent typical Austrian architecture and which I could transfer to a useful scale, to stand at least a bit of a chance that it would be relesased as LEGO Set. The more famous Castle of Schönbrunn is to wide and would be far too small in height. The Gloriette is mainly beautiful because of sitting on top of a hill. Perhaps the Riesenrad would do, but then, transferred to a miniscale it would look like any ferry's wheel. The Upper Belvedere is home to a world famous painting, The Kiss by Gustav Klimt and thus one of the most visited castles in Vienna. Hope ya like my Version of it. https://ideas.lego.com/projects/115271 @ Pandora: sorry, didn't know, thanks for puttin' it right
