I'd like to present to you my latest creation that is the Modular Palm House: This build took me somewhat under two months to complete (evenings only, of course). What I wanted to achieve was to capture some of the XIX and early XX century architecture. I hope I was able to represent neoclassical style well. If you can help me with some comments regarding this, I would be grateful. I am not an architect myself, this was just me feeling that it should look more or less like it. Another thing that I had in mind was to create such shape of the building that was not done before. I know this is hard to do and there is probably someone that did this before, but at least I don't know any. This shape gave me some headache with the roof - there was simply nothing that really fitted well. Eventually I came up with glass roof which I like. I had also some other problems with those walls - stability. The only place where this is fixed well is the place where it connects to solid walls. The central piece sits on a 2x2 turntable, windowed walls don't connect to baseplate at all. Not too comfortable to build or transport. The mosaic was done first in MLCad, then recreated in brick. Otherwise I would have some serious troubles doing that right ;) Now, the reason this build is a modular is because of connection standards that it has, as well as the sidewalk. Other that it only has removable roof and one, big module: Here it the mosaic wall as seen from the outside: And the other wall covered in ivy: As could be seen from the "modules" picture, the interior consists of an island that is covered by exotic plants for minifigs to enjoy, there is a pathway around it, as well as ticket office (is that correct word for it?). The man selling the tickets can be seen from the front as well: Because of the glass roof, I was able to play around while doing the photos and give some additional lighting to the interior using headlamp, like this: And this is how my palm house looked like on an exhibition in Łódź, Poland: For full gallery please go here: http://bricksafe.com...ular-palm-house
