  1. So many great builds! I like that so many different styles are used. Gonna be a tough selection for me...
  2. Are you sure? Which recent sets feature 1x2 bricks with groove in sand green?
  3. I can tell why! But the result looks great. Instantly recognizable. I like your solution for the front lights. Simple but very effective.
  4. Thanks!. Yes it's mainly using Sand Blue, which proved to be a challenge for the interiors, because some parts (especially SNOT parts) do not exist in Sand Blue. I don't like using other colors which then stick out like a sore thumb when looking at the building from outside. I'm glad LEGO finally brought back 1x2 bricks in Sand Blue with Assembly Square. I have to admit (again), that building interiors is the least fun for me. I'm always happy when I'm done with it, so I can start working on the next facade (which I enjoy most). ;-)
  5. Lovely! The house looks very comfy, but I really love the scenery around it. The various tres and plants are especially well done.
  6. Well, the obvious answer is: Bricklink. But make sure you're sitting when you take a look at the prices for the 1x2 Bricks with Groove. ;-)
  7. Cool build and very clever part usages, especially for the radiator grille.
  8. Dark Tan is such a beautiful color and here it is perfectly used. Very great rendition of the original!
  9. Thanks everyone!
  10. Truly beautiful. Another real snaillad instant classic. The color selection, the architecture and the balance are unmatched. I wonder how long you play around to find the perfect parts, because in every build every part selection is just plain perfect. I sometimes play around for hours and after looking at the final build I still feel that it could be done better but I'm too blind to see it. Your builds are always flawless in that regard. :)
  11. Thank you! You can get more picture of the police car in the official lego shop, since this is set number 60239. ;-) I asked my son which car he wants to place into the picture and he gave me that one. I actually tried building a car but failed miserably. I leave this part to other people like @ER0L. ;-) Thank you! Thanks! I would need to cut down the piece count by 50%, which would be quite difficult unfortunately. :) For some reason I tend to miss outside signs. People were also asking for that with my Sushi Bar. Maybe I go with the cheap excuse that these building are under cultural heritage management and don't allow for signs to be added to them. :D Just kidding. I will keep that in mind for my next builds.
  12. Hey everyone. I would like to present my 11th modular building. A modular police station. Since I wasn't sure what to build next, I asked my son what I should build and of course, the answer was: A police station! ;-) So here it is. Outside the police station you can see Ace Brickmann trying to get new information on a lead from a police woman (or maybe her telephone number?). Inside you have a parking lot that fits 6-wide police cars and small prison cells on the ground floor. Middle floor features an interrogation room as well as a mugshot room. Top floor features offices space for detectives and the police commissionor. 3 floors this time and a less crowded facade, which - however - took quite a while since I wanted to combine SNOT tiles, 1,5 plate thick window framing and tiles that stick out with half a plate offset. In the end headlight bricks with SNOTed brackets did the trick. Most of the time however went into the roofline. I always wanted to build an overhanging roof that looks like this one here. In the end, I had to build everything upside down. Below is a selection of images. All of them on flickr. Statistics: Parts: 5101 Design time: About 80h Build time: About 8h As always: Building instructions are available (see signature)!

  13. The proportions are way better with additional floors. Might have to get two when prices have fallen.
  14. That‘s a pretty cool mash up!
  15. BTW: Building an arch with the new 1x2 plates with round corners is a pretty neat idea!
  16. How? :) You still end up with one 16-wide too much when your puzzle relies on 32-wide. ;-)
  17. Instant like! Way better than corner garage! But no sand red again.... ;(
  18. Charming little build! I do think however, that the build would have better proportions and look better with an additional floor. Same applies for the book store. :)
  19. Very cool MOC/MOD. I like your design a lot more than FB!
  20. I am impressed how TLG manages to keep this a secret for so long. They seem to have learned from previous years. Maybe they're protecting this so much because the new modular will mainly be build in sand red bricks? :D Yea, I know. Not gonna happen. :(
  21. Looks really cool! But shouldn‘t it be yellow? :)
  22. Great as always. The size and details are wonderful. Now I feel I should skip my Police Station since yours totally dwarfs mine. :D
