thanks ! It was sometimes hard to find a solution in brick for this beauty ! Maybe next time you will find it in the souvenir shop !

Hi all, Few months ago, I realised this MOC for the TechLUG forum. I enjoyed very much to reproduced this building, so I decided to promote it and create it in lego IDEAS website (https://ideas.lego.com/projects/115929). I Hope you like it as much as I liked create it. The German Federal Chancellery is a recent building with many interesting details. You can find much details on the history of the building on the wikipedia page here : https://fr.wikipedia...dérale_(Berlin) unfortunately it seems to be unavailable in english... It as in the same line that the Paul Loebe Haus, the Federal Parliament which I made previously (http://www.techlug.f...it=chancellerie), but it is another story... I tried to enumerate all the particularity of the building and reproduce with accuracy on my model, I will show you them in the end of the topics... My model, main entrance : River side : Birds eye view : Archs : ---- MORE DETAILS / COMPARISONS ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Size, scale from birds eye view : Each side building is made with "glass cubes" : 3 cubes placed side by side / 1 empty space / 1 cube / 1 empty space / 3 new cubes It is the left side construction. The right aisle is cut by the Spree river. The left side is finished by a thin piece of concrete with a hole on the side. I tried to reproduce that. It is not as round as expected. The main problem is in the fact that I made a ground with 2 plates height max to respect the architecture standards. Each side aisle has on its face a groove in the concrete. I made them with the brick 2x1 with groove http://cache.lego.co...5/2/4264360.jpg Each side aisle start with a gable end In the interior side of the aisle, there are large windows In the middle of the main entrance, there are 3 flags. I used the same trick that in the 21018 UN HQ set. The main entrance has many artistic concrete parts. I tried to be accurate, but it is not easy because of the dimensions. Behind these parts, the entrance with round concrete on the first floor The main building is higher than the side aisles and has two big windows archs These archs are just under the roof. the roof is round with 2 triangles of thin concrete On the rear of the building, a nice garden with trees on the sides Here is details of some constructs ideas : the first floor : The rear aisle windows : trees : I hope you liked it, I read all until here ! Your C&C are most welcome... and maybe your support on Lego ideas website https://ideas.lego.com/projects/115929 ;)

Awsome, a great MOC ! All the details are so typical ! I love the little white oil can with the oil puddle, a very nice wink !

awsome ! very smooth and realistic.

For me it is definitely a fake...

Yes thanks I was lucky because when I decided to take picture, there was the first sunray since at least 2 weeks...It was a sign from the god of the brick !

Yes. I was influenced by the fact that christmas holidays is the only period during which I have time to cook, so I was happy to imagine the elves doing the same...even under a lot of snow.

Thanks for your comments, Unfortunatly photobucket brake a link and I am not authorized to correct it because we are after the dead line of the contest, but you can find it the link toward the album. And BTW, Happy new year all !

thanks for your comment, Yes we had 5/10 cm here, just in time for the holidays. The curved slope is attached with a 1/2 grey pin

Hi all, This is my entry for this marvellous end of year contest. I made a little house for elves which is on a side of a big rock. This rock was modified by the elves to add a bread oven in a part of it. After that, they constructed a small house to be just aside the oven. I was inspired by old farm here (in east of France) because many ot them had a bread oven 50 years ago. Unfortunatelly today a lot of them has disappeared. I worked hard on the snow because I would like to give it a real shape with curves and some snowslides on the second part of the roof because of the wind. I also add a light brick in the oven, with a "key" to turn it on or off. The key is hidden in the rock. Have a great end of year, thanks for reading. link to the album on photobucket : http://s204.photobuc...village contest

Awsome, lot of memories. great MOC.

Very nice, very clean. It is way better than a lot of official Lego architecture sets.

I want snow !!! .... but I am not against some Lego with it

Hey, welcome on Eurobricks. Your English sounds good to me...but I am also French so ... It's a shame you didn't keep pictures of your SW MOC ... By the way, if your interested in SW, you can also look on techlug.fr, there is a lot of french SW fans, and a lot of great MOC too...

Waouuu, amazing ! Is it fully automated ?

I don't remenber where I saw this information (imdb ?) but producers said that they will do it anyway. They thought to create a new team with younger actors, so with or without original actors, it is not a problem for them. Money first. :/

Nice one !

nope.

he's not crazy and don't come too close to a desk full of A-wing and X-wing ...

It is the best compliment! I worked hard on this one. Where is yours ? Yes, it is why I hadn't time to work more on several details like the walls... I thought about this, but again I was short on bricks and time, but I agreed, it would be better! Yes I understand what you mean. The MOC is nicer when you see it in real, I tried to make some picture in which you can look everywhere to find some details. I didn't want to forced the viewer to look at one specific place but let him free to explore the picture.

Hi, Last month I worked on a MOC for TechLUG contest about Death star attack. I tried to do something new. My aim was to create a view of Home One desk with Endor and the Death Star II. I havn't enough bricks to do all this at the same scale (and obviously for making endor and the DS at minifig scale ! ). I tried to do a perspective but without cheating on computer by working on the picture and the background. All the perspective is real when you are standing in front of the MOC. You have 3 size of X-Wing, 4 of A-wing, 3 of minifigs,...(the minifig scale A-Wing and X-wing are just MOD because of contest deadline, and also because I like the A-Wing design actually.) As some ones told me, the walls are too clean, not enough greebs. I had only 2 months to find an idea and create it during spare times. Here are the pictures... Here is the smaller guy on the deck...juste in front an A-Wing on fire! And here is how it is constructed.

Here is mine :

Very nice, but the door handle and the hinges are on the same side of the door ?!

Great building, nice work ! PS : is it Frank Zappa on your picture ?
