    I'm back with a revised (and instruction-ized) version of Florence Cathedral (Duomo of Santa Maria del Fiore) I originally created back in 2017, but never posted on EB. The original model was built with real bricks in Florence Cathedral Museum thanks to the great team of Toscanabricks LEGO fan group, excited by the digital pics of the model I showed on an Italian LEGO forum. I finally managed to make instructions for it and I modified the domes (both Brunelleschi's and the three twins above the apses) with the newly released 1x2 rounded plates. I included a pic of the original model displayed at Museo dell'Opera del Duomo at the bottom of the gallery (photo not by me). Hope you like it!! (great photo by Claudio Giovannini)

    Just 18 days after the Venetian Watchmaker's, I'm happy to present you my latest creation, the Old Harbour Street. Based on English traditional architecture (especially the marvellous town of Dartmouth, Devon), the wooden facade blue building includes a fishmonger's and the fishmonger's flat upstairs and a Fish Pub in the half timbered house. Hope you like it!

    As usual you managed to find what's wrong with a model of mine. I've recently been to Venice, and I must say Renaissance buildings are the least appealing among gothic jewels. As regards dark red: how can you suggest to use yellow or blue? I have never seen bright yellow or blue marble , maybe I'm wrong again. Probably you don't know Palladio (one of the best known architects in Italian history) used to paint brick made elements (columns, profiles..) with an intense red coating, but a widespread myth about Renaissance buildings tends to depict them as purely white.

    Thank you very much. As regards the tourist, that was exactly my intention, plus he's a wealthy American, so he can afford one of those masterpieces

    After the Old Pharmacy and the Florentine Steakhouse, the Venetian Watchmaker's and Glass Shop is my third model taking inspiration from Italian traditional architecture. By incorporating late-Gothic (bright red building) and Renaissance style (white building), I wanted to portray the most distinctive shapes one can find in Venice: from the elaborated balustrades to the inverted cone-like chimney, as well as the falling plaster and the usage of coloured marble columns. The building includes a Glass Shop in the white building, a Watchmaker's (ground floor) and a cozy apartment (upper floors) in the red building. Hope you like it!

    I think that is great news. Hopefully we'll get a working and issue-free site, at last!

    Actually I can't transfer the bricks into the basket either. It stops before with a "page not found"...

    Unable to checkout after wasting hours of brick searching. Anyone having the same issue here?

    I love LEGO Bricks & Pieces! It is perfectly and constantly broken, I perfectly lose hours of brick searching every time I try to make an order! You're doing it right LEGO!!
  17. Giacinto Consiglio
    Thank you very much! To be honest, it isn't mine either
  18. Giacinto Consiglio
    Thanks!! I'm really curious to have a look at those sketches!
  19. Giacinto Consiglio
    Kind of

    My next modular is actually inspired by Venetian traditional architecture, but I'd also like to include more modern designs in my modular collection. Thanks for the inspiration!
  21. Giacinto Consiglio
    I'm really happy you liked my new style!
  22. Giacinto Consiglio
    Thank you!!

    Thank you. Let's answer some questions: 1)The back facade is held in place with a cheese slope on the baseplate and 3 curved 2x2 slopes on a 1x6 plate on the roof. These can be easily removed to open the facade. 2)It's 35 cm tall, so 2.5 cm shorter than the Cheese Shop. I'll upload a 3D view from Stud.io I think!! Thanks for your precious suggestions!!

    It just slides through the walls and it can be stopped with a lever on each floor. They're 1x2x5 clear pillars Thank you very much. I used Mecabricks!

    I'm proud to reveal a brand new modular building in a brand new style! This is my first attempt at contemporary architecture, and the buildings feature a luxury apartment and an office tower with a working elevator. Hope you like it!
