Redhead1982

Well done on the interiors. It looks great without the external walls. I like the middle floor with a balcing overlooking all the equipment. I'm not a fan of the facade though. The color scheme is nice, but looks very plain with standard bricks. Have you considered adding some brick-bricks in dark red, tan and dark tan? I think it would more texture to the facade and keep the overal look.of an industrual building.

Thanks, it was a little challenging packing the baseplate, but not to over-pack it. Sorting books by color is a thing for a long time now. I have my books arranged by color since 2011. If you have many books on open shelves, it looks less cluttered to stack by color (at least in my eyes). Whenever I added a bookshelf to my MOCs, I arranged them by color. The ''girls' themes'' would be Bellville, Paradisa and Friends. Thanks. If you ever make it there, I'd join you by the pool. A good book and some drinks were what I had in mind when doing the deck.

Nice work on the rocky landscape. I really like the stairs cut into the rocks. My only criticism would be lack of depth in the sea. You could try using different shades of blue plates to add another layer of detail. As for the tower, it's built in a similar fashion as much other medieval-inspired building, and it's a style I like a lot. The roof of the tower looks very interesting, it's not easy to cover a round tower with something sturdy enough, but not too heavy. Well done.

It's been a while since I built and posted a modular building, and this post will be another exception. Still not a modular building, but at least it's a house. I've been busy with life, and a little bit fed up with the same design (or very similar) with my modular buildings, so I had a break and ventured to build other themes. Nevertheless, my luck changed and my building block was overcome when I got this old raised baseplate from Poolside Paradise. I never had Paradisa sets as a child, but I liked the plate anyway and wanted to put it to good use. Since the building space is very limited, this is what I came up with. My idea was to hide the odd light green baseplate color, but leave the stone pattern of the driveway. This is why I covered the pool area with tiles representing wooden patio, and the surrounding of the raised baseplate with LBG ingots representing stones. In addition to this raised baseplate, I got several other old bricks and pieces over the last few months, and the idea was to incorporate as much as possible of them. I used the old palm tree trunks and a few pink plates around the house. Other than that I wanted a clean design with a chance to see the interior details when exhibited. In light of a tribute to Paradisa theme, I used pink and purple shades as an accent throughout the building. The ground floor is a kitchen and dining area with seating for two since it's a very small floor plan. The chrome silver cup is another old part, from the Belville series. The kitchen working space is small, there are a stove and oven, a sink, some cabinets, and a fridge. I added a green plant to live up the room a bit. The best part of this floor is, in my opinion at least, the view of the flowers, palm trees, and the pool. The parts for the palm tree trunk are not as sturdy as I expected, that's the reason the palm trees are so flexed. Nevertheless, they provide excellent shade for lounging by the pool. On the second floor, there's a bedroom with a side table and some bookshelves. Since I love to read, I want to add a touch of that to all my buildings. Color-sorted books is another thing I do at home, too. The bed has a large headboard design, with a print from the Friends Heartlake Grand Hotel. The chair and some books on this floor are from the recently acquired collection of old parts in pink. On the top floor, there's a reading nook with a comfortable chair and more bookshelves. The sliding doors open to the small terrace, where the owner keeps one of her larger plants and used the terrace as her favorite place to do some yoga or pilates early in the morning. All in all, I'm happy with the finished villa, and the hints to three different LEGO themes designed primarily for girls. While I'm not a huge fan of these themes as such, I'm excited with many of the parts these themes introduced. There are a few more pictures of the villa from different angles on my Flickr account if you wish to see more.

I built this shooting stand as part of a larger Fairground theme park for the collaboration at the latest Slovenian exhibition. It's a simple MOC, but I enjoyed the challenges I was given. The idea was to create a shooting range at maximum 32x16 baseplate to fit with the display. The visitors were able to play two games, one was shooting the ducks, and the other was throwing rings to the poles to win different plush animals. These are pretty much all the different small animals I included as prizes for the winners. The idea was to have a stand with different teddy bears, but lacking them made me use other ''toys''. Despite the MOC being small, I ran out of reddish brown cheese slopes, so I had to order more from BL. So much for a challenge of making MOCs without extra BL orders. I lack imagination and was really unimaginative naming the stand (and the MOC). Initially, I wanted to make a brick-built duck, but since I wasn't satisfied with the result, I used a simpler way to add a duck to the MOC. I borrowed a DUPLO duck to name the stand ''Duck Season''.

These are a set of beautiful buildings from different perspectives. To start with, the colors scheme is well thought of, the different shades of more muted colors go well together, and keep the facade interesting. The detailed framework in LBG and in white adds an extra touch. The odd parts used for these details are very interesting and it's really worth to have a second or third look at the photos to discover more of these details. I especially like the hinges, the skeleton legs, the syringes, and ball joints. It creates an interesting texture, like stone carvings you can see on many older buildings. The interiors is well built too. I like the sofa, the lamp on the side table and the details on the cheese selling counter front.

Mine is Domžale. If the odd letter ž is a problem, you can use z instead (Domzale). Am I the only one who has not started designing or building the skyline?

I have a bunch of odd parts, bits, and pieces which I plan to upload to my hobby BL store, but I could bring them to Gunzburg if anyone would be interested. I'll keep an eye on bargains for sets here. There's a store with weekend 30% discounts on specific sets, but the regular prices can be a bit higher than German ones. So I'm not sure how much of a deal would that be.

If the weather is dry, I'd love to visit the Englisher Garten. The other suggestions sound interesting too. I'm flexible for lunch and dinner, last time I was in Munich we had great burgers at Hans im Gluck . If we're somewhere in the vicinity, that would be a nice option. Do you think we should have reservations for 8 people?

Great to hear. And also, great to see you can make it!

I'm ok sharing with @Peppermint_M (if she agrees, or doesn't want a single room). So, how close to the park is the place you booked, @Holodoc? Considering there's not many eventees this year, two cars will be enough for the transport to/from the park.

According to DB trains schedules, there should be trains going to Munich airport also on Sunday. Have you checked for your specific time of arrival? This is a general search I did for Sunday. I'm sure you'll be able to get there on time.

Definitely a winner.

According to Slovenian statistics, we had 12.922 inhabitants (of which 6148 men and 6774 women) as of January 1 2018.

This will be a great challenge. I live in a small town, probably much smaller than Holodoc's, and there are not many interesting buildings to see. Will do my best to make it more interesting in a Skyline version.

@Holodoc, thanks for finding the accomodation. I'm fine with sharing a double bed room, preferably with @Peppermint_M or @MstrOfPppts (if they agree, that is).

These vauchers sound great, but I guess they're available in Germany only. Here, all we get is a kid's discount if accompanied by an adult. Not really useful for AFOLs.

Thus sounds awfull. Are there any other options from other UK airports? Perhaps taking a train part of the way or something? I honestly didn't thought there will be so many Brexit problems. Have you checked the Momondo page? I usually look there for multiple options. Hope you find something suitable soon (and for a reasonable price).

I'm signing in, too. (And thanks for all the "behind-the-scene-work" to reorganize the event in Germany.)

With these changes, the event fits my schedule. For one, it's closer to travel to (also shorter time to be away), and two, the dates suit me much better. So if you'll have me, I'm in.

I like the bird's eye perspective here. The water effect looks good, perhaps you could try wedge plates for a less uniform color transition. I'm missing greenery on the island. I know it's a sandy desert island but the palm tree could have at least some shrubbery around. All in all, I like the build also for the simplicity.

Thanks for the advice. It makes sense to be on the safe side. My favorite detail is the landscaping. The bright colors and mostly the pink and purples are a great touch and they really make it stand out in a positive sense. The ABS-vore plant looks great as well, I'm only surprised it's not more camouflaged. Well done.

Thanks for a great review, @WhiteFang. This is a beautiful set and what I loved the most about your review is the added details on the celebration of the Chinese New Year. It's great to hear it's a realistic set of area-specific celebrations. The set is on my wish list to buy some day (depending how widely it will be available on Bricklink). For me, this is the only minus of the set, being available in a limited region and not worldwide considering there are Chinese communities worldwide. From my point of view, the set looks great as a parts pack, with lots of intricate printed parts, lovely minifigs (floral prints and ponytails), as well as many small parts to accentuate the atmosphere. Specifically, the lamps hanging by the front door, the pear gold fences used for windows, the white porcelane vase etc. Family photos are a nice addition, too. All-in-all, the designer(s) did a great job creating such a fascinate set. Now I'm really looking forward to your reviews of additional exclusive sets.

I love it, too. It's an interesting take on ''gingerbread''. I don't mind the train having less realistic details, and more icing. It's the icing that created the ''gingerbread'' feeling, and you did that great. My favourite is the cocoa mug with chocolate chip cookie.

Your Modern office building looks like a great place to work at. I like the large windows letting lots of light in, and the exterior is very interesting to look at. Generally, I'm not a fan of modern architecture, but the curved shaped of this building is very appealing. Well done.
