A Lego Group inspired building (Lego Set 10190) (well, at least the bottom floor - the top is all mine).
The "market" in Market Street, allowed early adopters of Lego Modular Building to expand their towns with European styled market space. The set included the allusion that you could (and should) build on top of the market to add variation to the presentation.
I have elected not only to expand the footprint of this building to 20x20 studs, but to put a residence on top, with their own private entrance. This is one of 3 variations of that idea.
9 months ago, I built a LEGO replica of the National September 11 Memorial Museum using Stud.io software to improve my rather « ugly » first version. Now, I’ve been able to faithfully reproduce it in real life !
This new 10 times better version is made up of 3000 parts.
The building is lit at night by LEDs. 💡
The visible interior is almost faithful to the museum, and also includes the tridents of the old WTC visible from the outside at the glass facade !
Concerning geometry, big achievement for my part. I’m very proud of this fairly faithful form of the building IRL. The result is sublime with the stripes in « Metallic Silver » color. 📐
There are certainly illegal techniques, but that’s what makes the building so charming.
I had used white flexible tubes to represent the metal beams supporting the glass facade on the 3D model, but however, I didn’t particularly think of doing it again in real life, although it seems quite complex to me. I don’t know if I will do it one day, but it looks very good without. 👍
There are certainly many other details to describe but I will stop here. I sincerely hope that you like this new version, and above all, let’s never forget ! 🙏🇺🇸

I'm back with my newest moc, the Red London Telephone Box.
The model contains 1856 pieces and features lots of interesting details. The door can be opened to reveal an authentic detailed interior, complete with an old fashioned telephone.
As well as the phone box I've also included a British pillar box and a street lamp complete with hanging flower baskets.
I think the iconic London Telephone Box would be a great subject for a LEGO IDEAS set so I've uploaded it to the LEGO IDEAS website. If you like the model I'd be really grateful if you could head over and give the model your support. 10,000 votes and it could become a real set.
Thanks very much.
It was a right 'orrible day today, where I spent literally all the working day trying to debug a broken website, then followed it up with a three hour governors' meeting.
Ah well.
A good way to unwind was to devote some time to my lovely Christmas present from Si and Karen. A Lego Big Ben, from the architecture series! And here it is modelled in front of the jolly old London Eye. :)
This is the consolidation of Lego sets 40178, 40305, 60097, and 5005358 into one Modular Building Lego Store.
First floor includes the pick a brick wall, the "Cash Wrap," shelves of product, and other displays. The Second floor has additional shelves of products and displays. The Third floor holds the Manager's office area, the stock room, the employee's bathroom, and the minifig factory assembly station. All 4 sets are represented within the building, plus I grabbed a couple of additional parts from 31081 Skate House, (the black 4x3x1 frame for the trap door on the roof, and the printed 2x2x1 graffiti Dk red brick).
Today, we examine the preeminent imperial thermae built before all other such complexes in the Eternal City. The Baths of Titus set the standard for what would become ever larger thermae complexes built during several succeeding imperial dynasties. When it came to the art of imperial propaganda, the Roman emperors could always be counted on to outdo their predecessors. As such, the eponymous emperor Titus sought to break the mould of what had previously been more disparate Roman baths scattered throughout the city, and establish a consolidated precinct within which all expected amenities were contained and laid out symmetrically, including frigidaria, tepidaria and caldaria (cold, tepid and hot bathing rooms).

️ CORINTHIAN TIER
• Corinthian patrons will now receive THREE Custom Buildable Kits! These will be sent out every three months; specifically April, August and December. Some will be larger than others, but on average, there will be a balance between smaller and larger offerings. This perk includes the one yearly kit for Ionic patrons. Kits will be sent a month prior to the public sale.
• Over the past year, the Corinthian tier has been optimally structured in its benefits to be the most *cost-effective* means of collecting all the products I currently offer and plan to offer on a regular basis.
I made it to day 4! The Courtyard by Marriott downtown is a beautiful building, but at this scale, its hard to show.
A year after its (re)modeling in LEGO on the 3D Stud.io software by BrickLink, it was time to reproduce it in real life !
Here is my faithful replica of the new One World Tarde Center in New York, made up of more than 28,000 LEGO bricks, assembled in more than 60 hours, and illuminated at night with LEDs !
A little bit of history first, One World Trade Center nicknamed “Freedom Tower” and its 541 meters high (1,776 feet, corresponding to the year of the United States Declaration of Independence) is the tallest tower in New York, in the United States and the Western Hemisphere. 🇺🇸
It’s also the most expensive tower in the world, costing nearly $3.9 billion, and is the most technologically advanced and environmentally sustainable skyscraper. 🌟
But now, in LEGO ???
This centerpiece is part of my project consisting of almost faithfully reproducing the new Ground 0 - World Trade Center district in LEGO.
It went through several versions before arriving at this final version which is more geometric, more voluminous and better worked.
Admire these inclined facades !
I won’t be able to describe every detail here since there are a lot, but the main points are :
- More than 28,000 parts.
- The building measures 2.25 m (7.4 ft) with a scale of 1:245 ! 📏
- It includes the almost faithfully reproduced One World Observatory platform as well as all the floors of the tower.
- It’s lit at night with LEDs for the floors, as well as addressable RGB LEDs for the lobby and antenna that can change color individually.💡
I wanted to thank BlueBrixx for providing me with alternative LEGO Trans-Clear plates for the lobby as well as rigid hoses for the metal rings on the roof.

This is based on a reworking of the Lego Haunted House set, with some "assistance" from Kristel's free instructions from Rebrickable, and other inspirations from BCD Mansard as well as other examples available on other Lego fan sites on the internet. I'm happy with the outcome, especially with the line of the imbedded chimney, seen if the side of the building is not against another building.
This build was for a client (Architecture). While the project remains undisclosed and is temporarily shelved due to COVID-19, I want to share the images before boxing up the model for a while. Hopefully this project will get revealed to the public and built at some point.
This sequence has always stood out to me as one of the most memorable in the Pirates of the Caribbean series, largely due to how the entire church structure is used as an active stage for the swordfight — from the sanctuary interior to the rafters, bell tower, and ultimately transitioning into the jungle and mill sequence. It’s a dynamic, layered setting that blends architecture, choreography, and environment, making it a perfect subject to capture in LEGO.
My design process began by studying the scale and layout of the church. After several rewatches of the scene, I was able to determine the number of distinct levels inside the structure and focused first on modeling the more prominent bell tower. From there, I mapped out the path of the action — starting from the sanctuary, moving across wooden beams and through the deteriorating roof, and culminating in the runaway water mill barreling into the jungle.
The church itself is a decayed Spanish colonial building, marked by crumbling stonework, collapsed archways, and remnants of once-detailed masonry. I wanted to maintain its recognizable silhouette while embracing the chaos of its ruined state. Starting from the interior action layout helped me define the core proportions and then branch outward, layering in debris, broken tiles, and ornamental details now eroded by time and the jungle’s return.
When revisiting the build later, I incorporated newer foliage elements, including updated fern pieces and custom-built palm trees. These additions helped enrich the setting, emphasizing the lush, tropical jungle pressing in beyond the church’s ruined stone fences — creating a strong visual contrast between the structured decay of the church and the wild vitality of the surrounding environment.

For those of you that have been wanting one, here's the start. I've been wanting to use these wheels for several months, but I couldn't find a use for them. The station uses 8 axles and features two parking structures. It's name will most likely be Central Station, because of the street it's located on, located in the Bley District.
This replaces the station on the lakefront, which was in a bad location.
Created based on the Brick Builder's Pro (L.G. Orlando), “Town Street” (1 of a set of 4 building instructions from those aftermarket instructions), the “Bay Window Brokers” part was used to map out the basics of this set. The original instruction only depicts a set of essentially 2 boxes, set one on top of the other, with no stairs or other connection other than being on top of the other.
My depiction, provides 8 additional more studs of store front, stairs to the second floor, and some amenities.
