Wow! 🤩 There are so many wonderful details! You've successfully achieved the perfect vibes with both the color scheme and building techniques. Also, the rounded and leveled base adds up perfectly to the build itself. Do you mind asking what size is the base plate (approximately)?

Eurobricks 2026 Event Germany - Sign-Up Topic (Canceled)
BarBee replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Events and User Groups
Thanks, @Holodoc. 😊 I'll only be able to 100% confirm my trip once the dates are official. End of May fits me well, while I already have some plans in June and not every date would be ok. Anyway, I understand your stand. Let us know as soon as possible (🤞 hoping I'll make it for the first time). -

Hi, everyone! I'd like to join the party (@redhead1982 invited me), if I may. 😊 Is the current date (27 -31 May) still on? When will it be decied if the event is rescheduled? Oh, and like Redhead1982 I also got a 25% off coupon for Legoland tickets (same deal). -
[MOC] Speed Champions 8-stud-wide 1976 Lancia Stratos Turbo
BarBee replied to Alan Guerzoni's topic in LEGO Town
I'm not a fan of race cars or racing in general, but this build looks like a perfect copy of the original. It's amazing how well you captured the lines and the shape of the car. It really is good to come out the dark ages (again) and see the evolution of bricks! -
I love the entrance to the building - it's pretty impressive with the balcony on top. Sure, it says classic Creator style from years ago, but it's never the less great with all the details, including the 4996 Beach House rooftop window! It's a great solution and a perfect spot for some book exhibitons, don't you think? Anyway, I'd like to say I'm missing the books inside the library, but to be honest, I can easily imagine the interior myself. There's so much space inside the house to tell all the stories! I'm looking forward to the updated post.

I love this build! I've seen it in my weekly Forum digest, and thanks to someone on this forum I'm slowly finding my way back from the dark ages (part 2). Anyway, as someone who's thinking of doing a sports/surfshop as the next MOC modular, I find your build as a huge inspiration. My favorite details are (in random order): the surf's shop window details (stripes! 🤩) simple, yet pretty and functional interior of the surf's shop stained glass windows and printed tiles of the nursery amazing selection of flowers in the nursery (I didn't know there are so many in brickworld!) tulips 😍 Also, thank you for revealing some of the techniques in the video!

Like I've already told you - it was really way too hidden at the exhibition to fully enjoy all the little details. My favorite is definetly the Duplo duck, but the rest is just as well. Love the prize stand with all the "soft" toys and the back walls for both games! Wll done, like usually.

Thanks everyone for very encouraging comments! my main goal was to finally finish something and contribute to our local LUG's exhibitions, so I just focused on the exterior. It's the second modular building I made from bricks, however, I've spent a lot of time in LDD in the last decade, so I guess I can say I practiced a lot! I saw too much yellow, too, when trying to make decent photos! I should have used tan, but most of my tan bricks are still packed up in Grand Emporium ...

Congratulations for the number 10 (how does that feel?). The exterior looks just nice, as it's a bit to colorful for my taste (althouh I love the farmacy's sign!). But the interior ... wow, that's a whole new story! I just love everything you did! The yellow sofa/couch, the curtains hanger, the floors tiling, the fridge, the TV/media center ... everything's impressive!
-
Well, it's very Friendish, but it has to be, right? It's definitely inspiring for youngsters, and a great activity for all looking for the eggs (it took me a while to notice them as I was expecting smaller ones). Overall, nicely done!
-
Well, I'm not really sure I want to see a Police Station among official modulars (there are just too many in the City line), but this one is impressive. The exterior might be too American for my taste, but the detailed interior makes up for that: the typewriter, the interview room, the cells - it looks like a real thing! Still, my favorite part of this MOC is the Donut shop!
-
I'm always impressed how much can be done in microscale. Love the trees, the cars (obviously, the store is not yet opened) and the letter "A"! I enjoyed your large scale MOC as well (all those years ago ...).

Same happened to me, too! Why is there bread on the roof? As weird as it sounds, it turns out quite ok. However, I never even thought of making one on any of my builds - I doesn't rain in my Lego world. Otherwise, I love the blue roof and the plant on the balcony. And I miss a photo or two of the interior where you managed to pack up some pearls, like that golden spiral stairs - amazing (just like the E.T.).

Just recently I've been thinking about what colors to combine with the sand blue windows, and now I know (I just need a new idea to develop)! All in all, I like how the builds turned out. The Dutch/Belgian style fits Lego a lot (or is it vice versa?), and with all special bricks Lego gave us in the last years it seems quite easy to make something like that. But the more one looks at both houses, the more one is impressed with all the innovative uses and details. The bay window on the Cheese Shop is just amazing, and so are the flowers next door. I also love the indoor fire place, and the balconies in the back. But the "floating" icecream on the last picture got me wondering: is this a real model or just an amazing render? Can't really figure it out - in either case I envy you the quality of the pics!

As much as this house doesn't fit between the all-new town houses, it's really adorable standing on it's own (or among same worn-done style houses somewhere near the bay). Also, the interior is so well packed, it makes me wanna go buy some bait and grab a fishing rod to try my luck!
