LEGO scale model of the medieval Belfry tower and contemporary city pavilion in Ghent, Belgium.
Scale 1:500
Dimensions: 25.5 x 25.5 cm
~1800 parts
This build is a large castle/landscape display featuring The Knights of the Black Falcon and The Forest Guard.
First and foremost the aim of this build was to showcase what I love about those classic mid-80s Castle sets and specifically my two favourite factions. I have drawn inspiration from the original sets featuring each faction, specifically what I loved about them as a child and aimed to contrast that with what appeals to me as an adult builder.
The build features two fortresses side by side, Falkenholt Castle, the fortress of the Knights of the Black Falcon and an underground network of caves and tunnels that comprise the fortress of the Forest Guard.
Some of the elements that I am most happy with in this build are the level of detail and texture, the cross-section style cutaway on the edges of the build showing the internal structure of the castle as well as the geological layers of rock, clay and soil.

This is an Ancient Temple from India. This is the Nagara style of Architecture which was fully developed in the 10th century. Such Temples exist till date and are very much in use as a place of worship and pilgrimage. In Hinduism the devotee offers flowers and fruit to the 'deity' as a form of worship. Therefore we always see stalls selling garlands, flowers and fruit outside a temple. A visit to the Temple is not a sombre event, and could be and evening outing for the family or a 'picnic' Therefore one finds a 'fair' like atmosphere around the entrance.
Presenting my LEGO Architecture interpretation of Caerphilly Castle; a commissioned model for Cadw with Little Big Art.
I’ve captured and replicated the architectural essence of Caerphilly Castle, such as the iconic leaning tower and the ruins across the landmark.
The structure is designed to provide a true-to-life colour and relative scale depiction adding an extra dimension and feel of authenticity to this detailed recreation of Wales’ biggest castle!

This build is created exclusively with parts from the LEGO Architecture set Las Vegas (21047). I got that set from my husband as a Christmas gift and couldn't help experimenting a bit...
Number 10 in a series of images showing construction of a LEGO model of the Ford Building in Detroit (1909 - Daniel Burnham architect).
The exterior of the building is basically complete. A little bit of work on the fire escape and some details of the interior on the first floor remain. Once its done I will post a few shots of the other sides of the building and a few details. In order to complete the entire Penobscot block I still need to complete the Savoyard Center and build the Penobscot Annex. Once complete it and the other Penobscot buildings will make a city block that will cover 30 green base plates (each 32x32 studs).
It is perhaps the most outwardly inconspicuous structure of the Apostolic Palace that is also its most well-known. The Sistine Chapel is a tall, rectangular building designed in largely the same fortress-like vernacular of Medieval and early Renaissance Italian churches. The middle floor of this three-story structure comprises the tall, vaulted-ceiling chapel completed in 1481 by Pope Sixtus IV, for which and for whom it is named. The broad interior walls of the Sistine Chapel feature a tripartite composition from the floor to the vaulted ceiling. The lowest of the three levels is covered in trompe-l'œil drapery, an artistic technique in which a flat surface (in this case tapestries) is rendered such that it appears three-dimensional. The second level, just above the drapery, are the first of the famous frescoes painted in the Sistine Chapel. These works, painted between 1481 and 1482, were created by the workshops of notable Renaissance masters including Pietro Perugino, Sandro Botticelli, Cosimo Rosselli, and Domenico Ghirlandaio. The fourteen works feature the tales of two biblical figures in ‘The Stories of Moses’ on the southern wall and ‘The Stories of Jesus’ on the northern and eastern walls. Finally, the third level of the broad walls features six windows on either side of the chapel.
More than 500 years ago in 1508, the course of Western art changed forever. Pope Julius II commissioned Michelangelo to fresco the Sistine Chapel ceiling in what ended up being a four-year episode in their notoriously confrontational patron-versus-artist relationship. The resulting frescoes consist of nine different stories from Genesis adorning everything from the continuous barrel vault arch of the ceiling to the pendentives which frame the windows. In this, the cornerstone work of Renaissance art, distinct biblical origin stories are framed by scenes of prophets alongside pagan sibyls to create the unquestionable pinnacle of the Humanism ideals which Michelangelo first came to appreciate under the fostering patronage of Lorenzo de’ Medici more than half a century earlier. Contrary to popular belief, Michelangelo painted the ceiling not by lying on his back, but by standing atop scaffolding - straining his neck and receiving eyefuls of dripping paint over the course of four years. Little did he know, he would later return to the chapel, whose proportions he so reviled, to fresco ‘The Last Judgment’ on the west altar wall between 1536 and 1541, under Popes Clement VII and Paul III. This accompanying work depicts an adamant Christ at the center (whose animated pose was inspired by the ‘Belvedere Torso’ of antiquity) surrounded by a central group that includes the Virgin Mary on his right and Peter to the left, relinquishing the keys to the kingdom of heaven. Elsewhere, on the left side of the outwardly slanting wall, the souls of the repentant rise to heaven, while on the right, the souls of the damned descend in writhing heaps to meet the ferryman and the judge Minos (the face of whom Michelangelo spitefully modeled after one of the work in progress’s dissenters, Biagio da Cesena). As for the artist, Michelangelo depicted himself as a withered bag of skin tellingly held aloft by Saint Bartholomew. The eager and impatient days of Michelangelo’s youth and the many torturous years of his later life spent in the Sistine Chapel are dramatically and vividly retold in Irving Stone’s excellent biographical novel, ‘The Agony and The Ecstasy.’ While it certainly leaves plenty to be desired in the way of historical accuracy, it is nonetheless a timeless and fastidiously sprawling examination into the life and times of one of the world’s foremost masters of the arts.

Notre Dame de la Garde is a minor basilica from the 19th century. Emblem of Marseille, it dominates the city and the Mediterranean sea from the top of La Garde hill. It replaced an old chapel dating from 1214 because Marseille population could not go to require it because the space was cramped. The work is by Jacques Henri Esperandieu, a young architecture of 23 years old.

Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde est une basilique mineure du XIXᵉ siècle. Emblème de Marseille, elle domine la ville et la mer Méditerranée depuis le sommet de la colline Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde. Elle remplaça une vieille chapelle datant de 1214 car la population marseillaise ne pouvait aller se requérir car l'espace était exigu. L'oeuvre est de Jacques Henri Esperandieu, un jeune architecte de 23ans.

The construction of the work in Lego requires more than 3000 bricks. The proportions are practically respected even if a caveat must be asked: the statue of the Virgin Mary in reality is the size of the Dome. It's hard to imagine such a large Virgin in Lego. The interior of the Basilica has also been redone on a microscale. I hope you will enjoy reproducing this construction, emblem of an entire Marseille people.

La construction de l'oeuvre en Lego nécessite plus de 3 000 bricks Lego. Les proportions sont pratiquement respecté même si un bémol doit être posé: la statue de la vierge Marie en réalité fait la taille du dôme. Difficile de concevoir une Vierge aussi grande en lego. L'intérieur de la Basilique a aussi été refait à l'échelle microscale. Là aussi, difficile de refaire à l'identique l'oeuvre d'Esperandieu. J'espère que vous apprécierez de reproduire cette construction, emblème de tout un peuple marseillais

This is juste the first step of my project : pay tribute to my city : Marseille
A lot of new things will come in 2021.
Modular buildings, based (loosely) on the free plans, provided by Kristel, on the Rebrickable site (rebrickable.com/mocs/kjw010/candy-lane), as well as on Kristel's site, (<a href="https://modularsbykristel.com/"
A suspension bridge connects the land to the entrance of Lava House MOC.
Lava House is a modern home with a colour scheme inspired by the 1970's and hot lava. Dark orange, dark red, reddish brown and black are dominant colours.
The house is situated on a volcano shaped rock surrounded by a stream of water and sand. In some way it reminds me of Calmwater Cliff House MOC, but it is still very different.
Inside the house you find a fully furnished living room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom downstairs and TV corner upstairs.
The grille tiled roof can easily be lifted off in order to display the interior.
My plan is to display Lava House at a Swebrick exhibition in Hässleholm, Sweden, in the middle of August 2018.
Two townhouses inspired by houses located on Upper East Side, Manhattan, New York. Each house is build as a separate 16x32 modular house. In total about 4800 bricks. Computer renderings but only existing bricks were used.
This one has been done in media form, as an old BBC TV serial. Most of my direct inspiration comes from the illustrations in the book.
From left to right: the wigwams of the Marsh-Wiggles, the Giants' Bridge into Ettinsmoor, the House of Harfang, and the Green Witch's palace of Underland (with the cracks leading down into the Really Deep Land of Bism.

🔎This enigmatic Aedes - "House" - has never been precisely located. 🔍
⛰️ But we know it stood on the Arx, the lower of the two Capitoline hilltops, and was dedicated to the goddesses Juno & Moneta; the latter of whom was protectress of the city funds. ⛰️
It is likely that the cella of the temple stored the metal and coins that awaited minting.

Science and Religion, aside from one of Hans Zimmer’s more affecting tracks on the Angels & Demons Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, are two concepts that are endlessly and often controversially at odds. Here at the Casina Pio IV, however, the Pontifical Academy of Sciences seeks to promote “the progress of the mathematical, physical, and natural sciences and the study of epistemological questions and issues.” Development toward these lofty ideals has proceeded with the blessing of each pope since the Academy was established in 1936 by Pope Pius XI. The current Pontifical Academy of Sciences is a vestige of several predecessor academia, dating as far back as 1603 to the Accademia dei Lincei, or Academy of Lynxes. These learned scientists were so named for their keen methods of observation, scrutinizing nature at both microscopic and macroscopic levels, and were led by the most famous among them, Galileo Galilei.
The current body of academicians reside within the Casina Pio IV, a patrician villa completed in 1562 during the reign of Pope Pius IV. The casina features multi-level terraces and fountains, with façades adorned by richly detailed stuccos. Though the elliptical cortile between the main façade and fountain was once embellished with some fifty ancient Roman sculptures, the elaborate stonework of the courtyard is no less enlivening. Here in the model, the rich stonework is portrayed using assorted 1x1 decorated tiles, with 1x1 headlight and window bricks and 1x1 round plates standing in for much of the incredible stuccos.
True to my word, this is the one and only time I've used this odd LEGO brick.
This particular structure was once the Halls of Domitian in the Forum from 81 CE. In the fourth century, it then became the Horrea Germaniciana.

A modern house for a family with kids. Fully furnished. Architecture is inspired by functionalism and clean lines. About 6800 bricks. Computer rendering but buildable if you have the bricks.
It would not be a stretch to label many of the outlier buildings in any of my large landscape pieces obscure. After all, much of what is pictured here in the foreground would likely not make the lists of must-see points of interest in Vatican City, or much less even be publicly accessible to begin with. Though it may be easy to overlook, the buildings in this area nevertheless play vital roles in the daily administration of the micronation. Some of the essential services housed here include the Central Post Office, the Vatican Typography Commissary (printing press), the Vatican Drug Store, and a supermarket. Despite the relative mundanity of these establishments, certainly no country could exist without them. Likewise, precluding them from being depicted in this landscape would not only have undermined the accuracy and comprehensive nature of my work, but also would have diminished the gradual topographical incline between the city-state’s east border and the verdant hills seen beyond.
This homes’ design was inspired by several California mid-century modern architectural masters, including John Lautner, Richard Neutra and E. Stewart Williams. This home, constructed of steel, stone, glass and concrete, takes some of its cues from Stewart Williams’ Edris house, as can be seen in the dramatically projecting slanted roof plane. The section of roof that projects over the front entrance contains solar panels. The prominent roof pivots from identical massive walls which are constructed from irregularly cut concrete blocks, a modern interpretation of a typical mid-century modern stone wall. There are several ways to enter the house, from inside the 6-car garage by elevator, or by taking either the staircase to the left, under the house, or the dramatic freestanding concrete staircase to the right that lands in front of the glass walled infinity-edge pool. There is a home gym located in the house at ground level adjacent to the glass-walled pool allowing for dramatic views of swimmers doing their laps. A stacked sandstone wall that deconstructs as it surrounds the pool is reminiscent of the stone used by Richard Neutra in his Kaufmann house. An all-glass entry door is situated behind the 3-storey high concrete wall which leads to a soaring glass enclosed space with a view throughout the entire first floor. The front of the house is glazed in Pilkington Profilit glass to allow privacy while letting in maximum light. The sides of the house feature large panes of plate glass.

Own a piece of Ancient Roman history with this one-of-a-kind kit!
🚨 DON'T WAIT as quantities are VERY limited!
📜 The Capitoline Wolf depicts the she-wolf that found and sheltered the infants Romulus & Remus on the slopes of the Palatine Hill - some time during the early 8th century BCE, according to the myth.
Tiger’s Nest is the popular name of the Paro Taktsang Monastery.
It’s a prominent Himalayan Buddhist sacred site and temple complex, located in the cliff-side of the upper Paro Valley in Bhutan. The initial temple complex was built in 1692.
The monastery is located 10 kilometers (6.2 mi) to the north of Paro and hangs on a precipitous cliff at 10,240 feet above sea-level, about 3,000 feet above the Paro Valley.
The monastery buildings consist of four main temples and residential buildings. They are ideally designed by adapting to the rock (granite) ledges, the caves and the rocky terrain.
This Lego Model of the Monastery has taken around eight months to build with approximately 200,000 parts.
These buildings are based on certain architectural elements found in NYC. Especially the fire escape in front, a corner deli and neighborhood restaurants.

What was once considered to be a vanity project of Innocent VIII, the Belvedere Palace was quickly repurposed to house what is now considered to be among the greatest collections of antique marble statues in the world. In fact, the titles of a number of the most famous works within the Belvedere are eponymous of the villa itself; these include the Apollo Belvedere as well as the Belvedere Torso. The sculpture that started it all, however, was the rediscovery of Laocoön and His Sons. This famed statue of a Trojan priest and his two sons in the coils of serpents was relatively well-known to artisans of the sixteenth century due to the descriptions of the piece written by Pliny the Elder. Though its exact age and origin are the subject of great dispute, it is generally known that the Laocoön was displayed in the palace of Emperor Titus and that its sculpting most likely accordingly dates to within the Julio-Claudian Dynasty (between 27 BCE and 68 CE). In any case, the statue was rediscovered at a vineyard in Rome in 1506. Upon hearing news of the discovery, Pope Julius II, an enthusiastic classicist himself, dispatched Michelangelo and Sangallo to the site, who both affirmed this was indeed the Loacoön of the classical text. Just one month later, in March 1506, Julius opened his collection of marbles for public display with the Laocoön as its centerpiece, thus inaugurating the Vatican Museums.
I present the Imperial Throne room in the Vardos citadel. I tried to stay true to the feel of the Emperor's throne room while giving it a twist to tie it in with the rest of the Citadel.
Next will be the guard room on the 3rd level.

Modern living at split levels. Three kinds of sections - striped, brown and olive green.
In Olive Sand House I combine the the desertlike surroundings and olive green/tan colour scheme of Whitebrick Sand House with the striped architecture of for example Green Rock House, Calmwater Cliff House and Vanilla House that has in some way become my trademark.
While the term “pinacotheca” is broadly ascribed to ancient Greco-Roman picture galleries, the Pinacoteca Vaticana is anything but generic. This newer addition to the Vatican Museums was designed by the Italian architect and architectural historian Luca Beltrami and was inaugurated in 1932 under Pope Pius XI. Built over one half of a pre-existing, palatial courtyard, the Pinacoteca certainly lives up to the expectations set by the other sale of the Musei Vaticani. Inside, visitors can view masterpieces by some of the most influential artists of the Italian Renaissance, including Raphael, Caravaggio, Fra Angelico, Perugino, and even Leonardo da Vinci.
