St. Bendt's Church is a church in Ringsted, Denmark. Red brick is one of the most common building materials in Denmark. The technique to produce red bricks arrived in Denmark around year 1160. St. Bendt's Church in Ringsted was one of the first red brick churches in Scandinavia. In year 1170 the church was dedicated with great ceremony to Saint Bendt (Benedict of Nursia). The church is built in Romanesque style and houses the tombs of Saint Knud Lavard and many of Denmark´s earlier kings, queens and noblemen. This layout shows the dedication of the church in year 1170. Saint Knud Lavard was canonized during the dedication of the church in year 1170. Saint Knud Lavard (1096-1131) was a very successful and popular Duke of Schleswig. He was the son of King Erik I of Denmark and a an obvious successor to the Danish throne. But he never became king because he was killed by his cousin Magnus. His death provoked a long and bloody civil war. A week after his death his son Valdemar the Great (1131-1182) was born. In year 1157 Valdemar won the civil war and became king of Denmark. The fate of Knud Lavard and his son’s victory formed the background for his canonisation in 1170. During the dedication of the church Valdemar the Great's oldest son Knud VI (1163-1202) was proclaimed co-regent together with his father. Therefore the 7-year-old boy is sitting on a throne with a crown on his head next to his father.

Rasmus Klump is a Danish comic created in 1951 and still very popular. The series tells the adventures of the bear cub Rasmus Klump and his friends: Pingo (a penguin), Pelle (a pelican), Skæg (a seal) and others. Always dressed in red dungarees with white polka dots, Rasmus Klump travels the world on board his boat Mary, which he builds with his friends in the first episode. At home Rasmus Klump's mother always bakes pancakes to Rasmus Klump and his friends. Rasmus Klump is known as Petzi in Germany and many other countries. In Sweden he is known as Rasmus Nalle. This LEGO layout is bulit by 5 Danish LEGO fans in 2015: Anne Mette Vestergård, Helgi Toftegaard, Henrik Kunz, Jakob Hestbæk and Lasse Vestergård. Video: Anne Mette Vestergård has built: Rasmus Klump's house and the haunted castle. Jakob Hestbæk has built: Egypt, the boat Mary, the train in the rail wheel and the brown ship house. Henrik Kunz has built: The North Pole Helgi Toftegaard has built: The pink house with the mill and the hot air balloon Lasse Vestergård has built: China, the lighthouse, the whale and some of the small islands. Movement and Mindstorms programming is made by Helgi Toftegaard and his students from Specialisterne. The Music in the video is the song from the Danish Rasmus Klump cartoon from the 1990s. The layout is not the first time I have built something from the Rasmus Klump comics. In January 2015, I built these large figures of Rasmus Klump and his friends:

The Church of Our Lady (Danish: Vor Frue Kirke) is the cathedral of Copenhagen and the National Cathedral of Denmark. There has been a church on this site since the 12th century, but the church building has burned and been rebuilt several times. The present day version of the church was designed by the Danish architect Christian Frederik Hansen in the neoclassical style and was built between 1817 and 1829. A while ago Copenhagen Cathedral asked me if I could build a model of this church. This resulted in this MOC. The church is built in scale 1:100 and it took around 37 hours to build it. The real church can be seen here: More photos of my MOC can be seen here: https://www.flickr.c...57642444211364/

When I saw the many new Bright Light Orange bricks from the LEGO Friends theme my first thought was that the colour looked like the colour of a typical Danish “yellow” house. Therefore I decided to collect Bright Light Orange bricks in order to build a house in that colour. Like many other young girls Olivia dreams about a tall broad-shouldered guy. None of the Friends boys could live up to that. Therefore she found him in another LEGO theme.

Hi everyone. A new building is available for download. This time it's the Ferring International Center/Pharmaceuticals in Ørestad City, Denmark. Just like the Radisson Blu Royal Hotel I made a while back, the logos on the building is made in Photoshop, since custom decals is unavailable as you all know. Picture of the real building In case of LDD is crashing upon loading the model, follow these three steps. 1. Go to the settings in LDD. 2. Uncheck "High-quality rendering of bricks placed in the scene". (If it still crashes, try uncheck "High-quality of bricks in the Brick Palette in the settings.) 3. Restart LDD and then load the building. Download Contains 13178 bricks, just a heads up for you guys with a slower computer.

The Sun Chariot (Danish: Solvognen) is one of the most famous Danish archaeological finds. The sculpture was made in the Bronze Age about 1350 BC. The sculpture was discovered in 1902 in a peat bog on the Trundholm moor. It is now in the collection of the National Museum of Denmark in Copenhagen. Since 2011 The Sun Chariot has been portrayed at the Danish 1000-krone banknote. This gave my the inspiration to build a 1:1 MOC of the Sun Chariot. My MOC show how the Sun Chariot looked like when it was new and undamaged. I have only used two different colours in this MOC: Dark Bluish Gray and Pearl Gold. The assortment of pearl gold parts are not large. Therefore I had to build the whole gold circle of this five kinds of parts:

Rosenborg Castle is a renaissance castle located in Copenhagen, Denmark. It was built by the famous Danish King Christian IV. The construction started in 1606, and after several expansions the castle was completed in 1633. My LEGO model of the castle shows it in the 1630s when the castle was new and Christian IV lived there. Christian IV is one of the most famous Danish kings. He was born in 1577 as the oldest son of King Frederik II. At the death of his father in 1588 the 11-years-old Christian became king of Denmark and Norway. He is frequently remembered as one of the most popular, ambitious, and proactive Danish kings, having initiated many reforms and projects. Many of the most famous buildings in Copenhagen was built during his reign. But he also engaged Denmark in numerous wars which undermined the Danish economy. He also had more than 20 children with 5 different women. Christian IV died in 1648. His reign of almost 60 years is the longest of all Danish monarchs.

Roskilde is the 10th largest city in Denmark with a population around 48,000 and is located 30 km west of Copenhagen. Roskilde is a historic city and during the late Viking Age and Middle Ages it was the capital of Denmark. This layout shows the city center of Roskilde. I got the idea for the layout back in November 2012 when I was exhibiting some of my MOCs at LEGO Fan Welt in Cologne. At the exhibition I bought “The Big Unofficial LEGO Builder's Book” written by Joachim Klang and Oliver Albrecht. The book inspired me to build something in scale 1:100. At the same exhibition a large model of the Cologne Cathedral was exhibited. It inspired me to build the cathedral in my hometown Roskilde. When I came home to Denmark I started building Roskilde Cathedral and its surroundings in scale 1:100. It took 16 month to build the layout. In May 2014 the layout was exhibited for the first time at a LEGO exhibition (Klodsfest) in Roskilde. The most famous building Roskilde is the Cathedral (Roskilde Domkirke). The cathedral is the burial site for the Danish monarchs and is known as the church in the world where most kings and queens are buried. Since 1995, it has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Roskilde Cathedral contains architecture from the last 800 years. There has been a church on the site since year 980. The current cathedral was built between 1170 and 1280 in the Gothic style. But since then many extensions have been added: The two large west tower was completed around year 1400 The Margrethe Spire is built around 1420 Christian I’s Chapel is built around 1460 Christian IV’s Chapel is built in the Renaissance style around 1620 The two characteristic spires on the towers is built around 1635 Frederik V’s Chapel is built in neo-Classical style around t 1775 Christian IX’s Chapel is built in neo-Byzantine style in 1925 Frederik IX’s Burial Site is built in 1985. More information: http://en.wikipedia....kilde_Cathedral The Former Town Hall of Roskilde was built in neo-Gothic style in 1884. But the tower is much older. It was built in Gothic style around year 1500. Originally it was part of St Lawrence Church. But after the Danish reformation in 1536 the church was demolished. The tower were allowed to stand and in 1884 the tower became part of the new neo-Gothic Town Hall: The real town hall can be seen here: http://en.wikipedia...._mpazdziora.jpg The Yellow Mansion (Roskilde Palæ) was built in the 1730s in Baroque style: The real mansion can be seen here: http://en.wikipedia....ce,_Denmark.jpg The “Absalon Arch” was built in the Gothic style around year 1200 and connected the cathedral to the Bishop's Palace, which at the time was where the yellow mansion is today: The real arch can be seen here: http://en.wikipedia...._(Roskilde).jpg Roskilde Gymnasium is a Danish high school lactated next to the cathedral. There has been a school on the site since year 1020. But no buildings are left from that time. The high school's oldest building is the “Rector Residence”. It has a north wing which dates from around 1770. The rest of the residence is built around 1820: The main building of the school is from 1842: During the last 100 years many additional buildings have been added to the school. The newest building is the blue “Science Building” from 2012: This is how Roskilde looks like in real life: More photos of my layout can be seen here: https://www.flickr.c...57646580719978/

This is my secret project WIP for TC6. This is not a joke, construction is almost complete. I'm just waiting for some additional parts to arrive because I don't want to show incomplete work. You may ask "Why creating a topic then?" - So you could expect one more TC6 entry of course ! While I'm getting camera and parts I will update this thread with some info. Here's something to start: Technical specifications: 2 RC units 2 M-motors 1 L-motor 1 Servo-motor Manual gearbox. 7-9 functions. Some awesome lights. Maybe pew pew pew capabilities, dunno yet. To keep you interested I made a comics about the creation of this MOC. Enjoy.
