    There's something grand about your buildings. It's not just their size, but their style as well. Personally, I was expecting apples (not Apple) in a store, so that part came as a surprise. However it looks fine as it is. I was amazed by numerous details on the facades and SNOT building. It looks fantastic and very inspirational! Would be great to see them brickbuild. Well done!

    Wow, it looks great. I specially like the flowers. Can't wait to go to the event, it's in two weeks time!

    Congratulations to the winners! There were many intersting and great MOCs to see.

    I'm familiar with the book and the model of the bridge. Your moded version is also well done, I like the sloped part of the road.

    They look nice as part of suburban layout. The color combinations are nice as well.

    You did a great job, Legopast. Well, it's not hard to pack the mini 1x1 bricks, and they're actually great to fill the bottom, and then build up with larger bricks.

    Of the two, tugboat is definitely my favourite. I like the SNOT work on the cabin, and the details on the deck - the lifebuoys, and a seagull. Nice work!

    I'm interested to participate somewhere internationally, but I see a major problem with brick transportation. How far and how do you usually do it? Even with modular houses that are the easiest to pack in boxes, it takes a lot of space. I still haven't made it to the point where I'd actually build MOCs with easy transportation in mind. On the other hand, being an exhibitor has an advantage of meeting other MOCers and spending more time together (than just being a visitor). As I often travel to Copenhagen, I'd be interested in going to LEGO World. Yet the show being in winter, it's not so easy to travel there by car (2 day drive with likely lots of snow at the start of the trip). Do you have any experience with flying with MOCs? How to pack them and such?

    My dark ages were from around 1996 to 2010, so around 14 years. I don't remember exactly why and when I stopped playing with LEGO, but it was sometime in primary school. I guess as I started playing my favourite sport, I had less time for building. However, my slightly younger sister kept building until mid high school, and no one was allowed to disassemble her builds, so there was also lack of bricks, that probably helped moving in the dark ages. Our childhood collection was small and it was inherited from my older sister. There were just various bricks, and I never had ''a set'' as such. The childhood collection stayed with our parents, and my nephews are playing with those when visiting (althouh they already find out that I have more bricks at my place).

    It looks nice as a model. I'd suggest making it modular if you can with removable floors. And if you plan to make it haunted, I'd skip some glass from the conservatory at the back to make it more realistic.

    You did a great job. I always find hard to build something inspired from a real life model, let alone making a replica of a known building. Seeing the building from different angels makes me wonder, how many bricks are in there. How did you do it? It looks fantastic, and adding a garden would be like icing on the cake. Thanks for sharing this.

    Well done. It looks lovely, the colors are nicely combined, and there's enough ''action'' to spot around the house. Although there's many nice details, my favourite is the flower pot - it's just plain simple, but it's position makes it the center piece of the front garden.

    When I moved my (small) collection from one appartment to the other (about 130 km apart), I had bricks mostly in zip bags and some small boxes. And I simply put them in suitcase. However, I made several drives from one side to the other, so there were no extra problems. For drawers, I'd suggest you put bricks in bags first, to make sure they don't mix in case a drawer opens accidentally, and then wrap the drawers in a foil - something similar to what is used at the airports to wrap suitcases. We had a move at work to another building 300 m away, and we used that wrap for most furniture. This way, there was no work with putting things back in the drawers, as they were moved simultaneously. Good luck with your move.

    Fantastic build, Kivi. As I've seen it at the exhibition, and made comments in person, I just want to point out some of its highlights - in my view. It's the little details that make it special, the buildings are more of a background for the minifigs and their action. The guy taking a box of drinks to the building site, people crossing the street, pedestrian bridge with a river view, and a boat full of turists. Well done.

    Thanks, everyone. This mini builds looks simple, but they still take many bricks to build them. This ones are a bit larger than the official minimodulars. I just got those and realized mine are a bit bigger. I'm thinking of making them a bit smaller to fit in with the official minis.

    I think the pizzeria in dark red looks perfect. It's a great brick colour, and goes well with grey. It fits nicely in the street layout. My favourite detail on the inside is the wall covered with plants. Well done.
  20. Redhead1982
    You have nicely captured the buildings. The redish brown building has a lovely greenery on top and interesting hanging plants on the front window. The weak point is the windows of the black and white house. I don't like the effect of bricks and plates for the windows, but I know it's hard to make a window 3 wide. Anyway, despite this, the buildings look nice together.

    Nice work. I like the amount of details of the landscape (the stairs to from the water to the town, the town wall and houses on the slope).
  22. Redhead1982
    It's so cute! You really caught all the details to make it instantly recognizable. Also the scale is great. I've just started playing around with mini scale and this looks very inspiring. Well done!

    Inspired by Deborah Hingdon's microscale models from The LEGO Ideas Book, I started these mini houses in December with my nephew who was bored with all the snow outside, and a little bit fascinated with my brick collection. As it was pretty late in the evening, I didn't want to start some large build, so we were casually going through the book (his gift to me for my birthday). So these were done in December, but I somehow felt they're not finished and kept the on my bookshelf. The front and the back are similar, with exception of some greenery in the front. Since this was my first build in mini or micro scale, it's nothing special, however, I do like this scale more for its pro's (less bricks and faster building process).

    This is a fantastic MOC! The colour scheme is perfect, sand blue really goes well with lbg, and then the hints of colours from the curtains and flower beds in the top floor. It's detailed enough to catch an eye, but upon a second look there are still some hidden details. The use of rounded windows above the doors for a details is very clever. The off-set roof looks fine, as it doesn't look monotonous. Although the scale is a bit too big to fit with official modulars, this is a fine example of a modular building. Questions: Is there any interior and any details on the back of the house? Well done.

    No offense, but I find the 1 cm gap between the cup and the lid pretty spectacular.
