Hi Everyone
I haven't had a lot of time for building recently so I decided to try my hand at some microscale building - I thought it would be quicker, or at least allow me to finish individual models.
I wanted to do real small microscale, fitting real landmarks on to 4x6 (ish) plates and seeing if I could still make them recognisable.
I live in London, and there are some world-recognised buildings here, so it seemed the obvious place to start.
Here is The London Eye:
Nelson's column:
the White Tower at the Tower of London:
and Tower Bridge:
There are more landmarks on my flickr set including Big Ben, Tower 42, the Imperial War Museum and City Hall.
Despite just doing this so that I could have small models that I could complete, I was convinced that I should put them on display in my local LEGO store. This meant building a setting for them, as well as some typically London decorations (taxis, buses, phone and post boxes), so I ended up spending a lot of time anyway:
Thanks for taking a look and, fingers crossed, I'll have some more time to build and post soon.
