    The Main Tower is definitely on my wishlist, but my wallet has to recover from recent BrickLink piece orders first!

    That's absolutely gorgeous! Very well done!

    Congratulations on the win! I knew it was going to make it the minute I saw it! :)

    I supported a while back, but I can't remember which supporter I was. Best of luck to you! :)

    I love the colors and the details! The skulls in the "evil" side really sell it!

    I know it seems to be a consistent guess, but I'm still hoping for a residential block, even with shops underneath. Would be nice for my minifigs to have more places to live.

    The stone archway on the house is FANTASTIC! I think that's one of my favorite parts. Terrain colors really work well too.

    I love all the action that's going on! (My favorite is the soldier screaming with the helmet flying off in surprise!)
  9. Elysiumfountain
    The progress so far looks phenomenal!

    I love the color scheme, the blue really makes it pop!

    Absolutely beautiful, I love the tree and especially how you created the walls. Very clever use of that part for the window box!

    Awesome layout! The airport I think is my favorite part. And the lighting is superb!

    Absolutely gorgeous! I would be looking to buy a ticket for passage if I was small enough!

    I supported on LEGO Ideas a while back, it's gorgeous! You did such a wonderful job :)
  15. Elysiumfountain
    Very spooky! I really like the fence, I like that you had a shot with the house removed.

    Thank you so much! :)

    Thank you so much! I spent quite a few hours last weekend sorting through all my loose parts and it looks like I have about 30% of the pieces. The rest I'll get from BrickLink :)

    Thank you so much!! :) Many thanks! :) Thank you so much! The furniture is definitely my favorite part! :)

    I present, Version 2.0 of my LEGO Queen Anne Victorian dollhouse! (I'm still working on getting the bricks to build it in real life). I have loved Victorian houses since I was a little kid, and my absolute favorite is the George Comstock House, in Bridgeport CT (It's in one of those illustrated magazine floor plans from the time period, in 1891, but I can't seem to find any real life photos of it, doesn't exist anymore). Another great love of mine is designing things with LEGO bricks, so naturally I had to try and put the two together. I've learned that Victorian houses are really, really hard to execute properly in LEGO form! My first attempts were absolute messes. But I've slowly been getting better at it. Earlier this year I entered LEGO's Bricklink Designer program with an earlier version of this MOC. Sadly, it didn't make it, but I've been taking the time to modify it a bit. Some of the furniture was a bit too big scale wise, so I redesigned it. I was also able to add a partial back to it, a kitchen, and do some landscaping to improve the blockiness of the base. The living room furniture is my absolute favorite, the bookshelf and the potted plants I'm dying to create in real bricks. (I ordered the parts from Bricklink, so I should be able to build them on Monday!) I already have an absolutely enormous Playmobil Victorian dollhouse at home that I've added to and painted and customized. Decided it might be time to try and create a LEGO dollhouse version with furniture that was somewhat similar. Following the advice of several members of the Dollhouses subreddit, I submitted this build as an entry in Ideas (due to the increased parts count limit and less competition from castles like in BDP). There are more photos and angles of the entry that can be found at the link below (it is also available for consideration/voting, any support would be greatly appreciated): Queen Anne Victorian Let me know what you think! Comments are always appreciated :) Update: I received the parts to build the living room and dining room furniture in real bricks, and they look so cute!

    I absolutely love Victorian houses (there are quite a few in my neighborhood), and I've been trying to replicate them in brick form. My first couple of attempts did not go entirely well, but I'm very satisfied with this MOC in progress! Hoping to be able to build it in real bricks soon (minus the windows, those are custom parts primarily for the rendered photos). I'm also in progress on trying to make kitchen furniture as well, the stove has been a huge challenge for me! Originally the color was tan with all the window frames and everything brown, but I thought the color didn't pop as much as I wanted, so I changed the frames to white, and later the "paint" color to olive green. Of course, with the limitations of eventually building this in physical bricks, there were some bricks that weren't available in olive green, so that explains the tan stripes and random tan pieces. I think I will make a couple extra modifications when building it physically, such as adding some half-walls to complete the interior dollhouse look. The floor is also not as stable looking as I'd like, so I'll figure out some type of fortification underneath it for stability! All these photos are my "polished" Flickr page photos. Hope you like it!

    Also the Brick Bank in that photo has an extra window on the right hand side for some reason?

    I've also entered this design (with a lot of modifications) into the Bricklink Designer Program Series 4! If you like it, I would appreciate any votes! :) https://www.bricklink.com/v3/designer-program/series-4/1202/Olympic-Gardens

    Thank you so much! The trees are one of my favorite parts, especially the planters. I always like trying to incorporate plants and water features in some way into my builds :)
  24. Elysiumfountain
    Thank you so much! I think I'm going to try and play around with different flower techniques and varieties to hopefully get some variation in there, so we'll see how the modifications turn out :)

    Thank you so much! :) (Sorry for the late reply, I don't think I had the notifications turned on for the post and didn't realize there was a comment!)
