    The use of boats in combination with the round windows is fantastic. Definitely not something that comes to mind easily. While I'm not a fan of the arched overhangs above the doors on the back of the house, this MOC stands out mostly for the great colour scheme and interesting building styles. Very inspirational to try something new and extraordinary.

    These are really incredible MOCs! I find it challenging to replicate a real life building in minifig or microscale, yet you did just that. Some of the architectural details are really interesting, and there seems to be a few interesting building connections. I was intrigued by the angled half round structures on the basilica. It's hard to say which is my favourite, but the basilica and the train model are close to the top. It's not easy to build in microscale with so many details. I was also impressed by some parts. You used white windows with rounded top, which I didn't know existed in white, as well as horses in sand green.

    This is beautiful. I am surprised how the combination of white and medium blue with a hint of dark blue looks like. For sure, I wouldn't expect the blue to have such a nice effect. Moreover, there are many interesting details on the facade. The patterns created on the facade are really interesting, and not too similar to the Haunted house. It's also great to use the hinged wall to show the interior details.

    This is my contribution to the EB event 2016 sig fig vignette competion. Since my sig fig is in front of the PaB wall filling cups, the next (logical) step is to sort and store the bricks appropriately. The interior is inspired by my own LEGO corner in my bedroom. Luckily, my sig fig has more room to store her bricks.

    This was one of my favourites at the event. I love the floor design. All in all, the wall panelling, the large floor-to-ceiling mirror and the floor design are done really well. For sure I got some ideas to try out.

    That's interesting. MstrofPppts and I checked them in the morning, but saw no discounts. But then again, we were also confused with the numbers on the clock. At 5.20 am it's not easy to have a clear head.

    I think all the happy faces say it all - we had a great time. Thanks to Tom and Stefan and everyone else who contributed to this event. I had a great time seeing some of you again, and some of you for the first time. It's nice to see the faces behind the nicknames. Although tired from the extra short night (3 hours) and a too early flight home, I got a couple hours of sleep, and luckily I get two extra days off to enjoy the new bricks. See you again next year (if not sooner).

    I made mine today while prepàring lunch. Had to be careful not to make too much noise while my toddler was asleep. The vignette looks fine, just the pasta was overcooked.:-( I'm sitting at the airport on my way to Frankfurt, still have 6 hours of travel ahead of me. I made mine today while prepàring lunch.

    I have an idea what to build for weeks now, but haven't yet started on it. As it seems, the Friday off work was well spent (sleeping in after early morning workout), and now it's almost time to pick up the baby and entertain him for the rest of the afternoon - which means no building, just messing up the bricks.

    Thanks for the great countodwn, Holodoc. I wasn't able to follow it in real-time, but I enjoyed it anyway. I can't wait to start the trip tomorrow.

    The part usage is fantastic. You made two completely different MOCs with one rather unusual and unsightly part. The planet looks perfect as a domed roof. The architecture of the building is nice. I like how you did the palm trees, with dry and newly grown leaves in different colours. On the other hand, the turtle is incredible. If the domed roof is something that can be expected, you completly surprised me with the turtle's shell. It could easily be sold as a Creator set. Well done.

    Thanks. Sometimes simple is the best. No, not yet, but that was the initial idea to use it with real books. However, then I build some books, and totally forgot to try with real ones. Considering the lack of space in our flat, it's hard to feature yet another bookshelf. It would be a nice decoration, but would take up too much bricks and space. Thanks, Pandora. I'm really surprised by all the feedback I got (here on EB and a local exhibition), as this was in my eyes a pretty simple and straight forward. It was mostly based on a story in my head, not so much on unusual building techniques. Those Friends flowers, for instance, are one of my favourite flower parts, and it's just so annoying not to be able to use them as real flowers, not just hair accessories. That's a nice idea, and it would be interesting to try it. However, I'm always running short on time with a toddler picking through my bricks, so I don't have much patience to build something larger. Just a hint though, I am working on some plans to include furnished rooms of the house, just not related to this MOC.

    The nice exterior is interesting, but the interior is the real highlight of the building. The architecture reminds me of large villa houses seen in Rome, Italy. Did you have a real life building in mind when building the detailed facade? On the inside, the various gambling games really add a real life feel to the building. Well done altogether.

    My latest MOC is a simple one, and I think it fits this subforum best. It's a combination of several things I wanted to try for a while, but never really got around to do it. The first thing was to build something with the palm tree leaves I got at PaB a while ago, and in combination with the trans clear blue tiles, the idea of a tropical island with lush greenery found way. My vegetation part collection increased recently, and I tried to use as much of those parts as possible. After all, the island is rather small (as seen from the top). As the idea grew, I knew what kind of message I wanted to give with this MOC. So I made a building, or more precisely just a facade, as an entrance to the fictional fantasy world. I wanted the building not to stand out compared to the island's bright colours, hence the lack of colour and pattern. With the ends done, it was time to make the books. And no, you can't open the books. To conclude, the bookends and the books together look like this.

    For me, one 112 please.

    Well done. The interiors is really nice. It's also very inviting from the outside when you peak through the large windows.

    This is fantastic! The exterior is interesting, but the big surprise is the interior. The diagonal corner is a clever idea, and the floor plan in the appartments is really nice. It's not too full, but not empty either. Well done.

    This is an interesting build. I like some of the exterior details, like the ice cream store front, the interesting seating area in front of it, and the musical notes above the music store. However, I don't like the overhang above the notes, as it hides them too much. But the detailing on that part of the facade is great. Maybe, if you used a small arch or just the 1x2 inverted slopes, it wouldn't hide the notes as much. The interiors of all stores is great. It's full of great details, my favourites being the large selection of books, option to enjoy them with a cup of warm tea in the privacy of the upper loft, and the cleverly built sliding ladder. Well done.

    I think this one is my favourite of your buildings. I wouldn't thought of using black plates, but your store is a great example of the amazing brick work. The black really works well. The colourful interiors is amazing as well. It's really a feast for my eyes. Congratulations on this fine build!

    This is a really interesting combination of architectural styles. The modern one is my least favourite, although it's not bad at all. I'm specifically interesting in the top cube, as it seems to have a great view of the city. Other than that, the modern facades are usually less interesting, as they don't have the detailing as the older building. The older buildings are very nice too, and they add some contrast to the street. It's great to see buildings with interiors partly inspired by the sets. Well done.
  22. Redhead1982
    This looks really nice. It needs just a little bit of paint, and will look like new. The colour choice is bold, but looks nice. My favourite detail are the back door. It looks really nice with the elevated grounds, and little steps descending to the back door. Well done.

    Thanks for following the blog, Withacee. Considering the posts were not very frequent, I'm glad I had followers. It's interesting to hear about other people's favourites. I'm very happy with the way the buildings turned out, but my boyfriend thinks I had made better buildings. My favourite is the corner building, though. I'm glad you found the tutorial interesting to read. I got the idea from my sister as she kept asking me, how I go about making the modulars. Hopefully, she'll post some of hers here soon. Have you made any modulars inspired by the tutorial? Thanks. The interiors is what makes the building liveable. The corner sofa is something I'd love to enjoy at home, but there's not enough room, so we have a much smaller version. The glass stairs were heavily inspired by Deborah Higdon's design, and they've become my favourite way to build the stairs. Actually, I feel quite proud as I managed to build this set of buildings with only a few BL orders. I had to get some extra slopes for the roofs, but other thant that my large collection sufficed for the building. Thanks for the compliments and liking the tutorial. I plan to do more, just have to get some time to start the prep work. I still want to finish the interiors of the corner building.

    I booked and paid for a cottage for Calanon and myself. Now it's time to get the plane ticket. I'm really looking forward to the event.

    Well done everyone! Congratulations to the winners, the participants and also the voters.
