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.
Original building was constructed in 1645 as a private palace in Uppsala, Sweden. From 1710 the building was used as the town hall. The building received its current exterior in 1883.
Modular building is constructed of three parts, 32x32 studs, where the middle part can be used as a separate modular building. Middle part contains a staircase. Total about 13000 bricks. Some bricks have been chosen in colors that are not currently available to make the final result look more like the real building. Computer rendering.
Constructed in 1896 and finished in 1904, the Parliament building is Budapest's most visited landmark, and Hungary's most iconic building. The architecture is an indicator of Hungary's numerous artistic and aesthetic influences from all corners of Europe. The majority of the building utilizes gothic revival style influenced by the cathedrals of Western Europe, which is shown in the arches, columns, and spires. The iconic red dome and the rooftops are influenced by renaissance revival style, which is a staple of architecture in Southern Europe, which has had a large influence on Hungary's history.

Mongolian/Turkic yurt, with the sort of trimmings and extras you might find on a particularly important one.
“… and the Colossus of the Sun, …”
The wonder with the shortest time to shine. The colossal statue of Rhodes’ patron god Helios guarded the island’s harbor for a mere 65 years, standing taller than New York’s Statue of Liberty. It stood as a symbol of wealth for this Greek polis and for its resilience against foreign invaders. The more than 30-meter-tall statue was destroyed in an earthquake in the Eastern Aegean Sea in 226 BCE. Its remains lay astray on the island and the Rhodian people did not dare to rebuild it, due to a Delphian prophecy. Nonetheless, the god’s bronze limbs attracted tourists to the island for more than 870 years, inspiring many great tales about the greatness of Greek craftmanship and human accomplishments. In 653, Arab forces conquered the island and salvaged the ruins.
Despite popular beliefs, the Colossus did not spread his legs across Rhode’s harbor entrance. Modern studies show that such construction would not have been feasible in ancient times. Most likely, this myth was created by William Shakespeare, who unsurprisingly used the Colossus as a symbol for grandness and hybris.
The model consists of 154 pieces and is built in scale 1:650.
I will be heading out on vacation tomorrow (My first real break in many many months of working 7 days a week)
Before I go I thought I would leave you with a picture of the midway point of the mansion. I sketched out the remainder of the layout so you can get an idea of the size of this.
Rough dimensions will be a little over 50 cm x 50cm x 80cm high (approximately 4'x4'x32").

Does this make it look easy❓
🤔 I wanna say yes, but then I remember the hundreds of hours of research, design and building that led to placing these finishing touches.
There are many miles to go, but thanks for sticking around so far!
🚣 We're just around the riverbend from the BIG REVEAL!

I've been around the Lego fan community long enough to remember when the to go-to pejorative was "That's not purist!"
These days, it's been replaced with "That's not legal!"
Belying both of these is a misunderstanding that there are simply no rules to using Lego bricks or any other material as a creative medium.
That's why I'll continue to do my best replying to every genuine question, as well as each impatient superlative (including those calling me a "psychopath," "Satan," or accusing me of committing "war crimes" for using solvent in my work).
These have no place in creative communities, but I'm experienced enough to know that your time spent commenting is worth replying to as patiently as I can.
Who knows, we might both learn something. I'm open to that at least. Are you?

Inspired by The Cary Building, New York City, an all-white LEGO facade. About 6750 bricks. Computer rendering but only existing bricks/colors were used.
Uppsala City Hall was first built 1957. However, it was only partially built according to the original drawings. This year the shape of the building was completed by Henning Larsen Architects. LEGO model has about 9300 bricks and is about 50x50 cm. If you want, you can visit Uppsala City Hall to see this model built ”non-digital” by Daniel Eggens.
medieval house inspired by the digital artist Guillaume Tavernier (aka De architectura). it was very fun making this really unusual house design where I was able to use many different techniques.
Lego build of Mak Residence by Lars Langberg Architects. The house can be divided into several parts and is fully furnished. About 6600 bricks. Computer rendering but only existing bricks/colors were used.

Gian Lorenzo Bernini’s design of Piazza San Pietro (St. Peter’s Square) has been lauded as a masterwork of Baroque theater since its completion in 1667. The formidable task of creating a worthy forecourt to the façade of St. Peter’s required Bernini to design on an equally colossal scale. Commissioned by Pope Alexander VII, he devised a solution to mask the ground-level structural accretions of the Apostolic Palaces while taking care “so that the greatest number of people could see the Pope give his blessing, either from the middle of the façade of the church or from a window in the Vatican Palace” (Norwich 1975, p. 175). Additionally, there was the obelisk standing before the basilica (having been moved there ten years prior) as well as a granite fountain designed by the architect of St. Peter’s façade, Carlo Maderno. Bernini’s true masterstroke came in the form of two rows of tall pilasters stretching out and slightly inward from the front of the church, connecting to two enormous colonnades, four columns deep, forming an oval piazza: an ovato tondo with the obelisk at its center and the fountain as one of the foci. The enormous columns are of the Doric order, so as not to compete with the more palatial Corinthian capitals of the columns of the Basilica. The colonnades and pilasters are topped with the statues of 140 different saints, which were slowly added after the initial completion of Bernini’s design. Bernini would further accentuate this Baroque masterpiece with the addition of a matching granite fountain on the opposite foci from the original just five years before his death.
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.
The modular building was inspired by the Prague Astronomical Clock.
Various contraptions are set in motion by motors.
You can see it in motion on youtube.
Sometimes you start a MOC and it takes several years to complete it, and then another year to take proper photos of it. This is one of those MOCs.
This is my deep dive into modular buildings. So far I really like it? It is fun to create buildings that are made of all these bits of inspiration of Portland locations. The art store is a love letter to the now defunct Art Media in downtown Portland.
This is my model of Chrysler Building in Lego Architecture size!
I don't know why Lego has not yet done a set for this iconic skyscraper.
I don't think it is a copyright matter, however it could not miss in my collection of architectural landmarks!

The right half of he building is mostly undamaged and gives a good idea about the shapes and colors here. I also enjoy the printed windows on this one.
This project was equally focused on modern architecture and believable damage. That sort of focus has already been the leading theme of my Raid diorama and it once again proved to be a fun thing to make. I also intended to work primarily with slightly less common colors here, namely a lot of dark tan and dark orange. The base is 24x32 studs large.

Imagine standing in St. Peter’s Square crowded shoulder-to-shoulder among thousands of eager faithful, all of whom have their eyes fixed on the partially visible rooftop of the Sistine Chapel (pictured just right of the Basilica’s north clock). In the wake of a pope’s passing, the College of Cardinals convenes within the Sistine Chapel for a papal conclave, during which they are locked inside until they reach a consensus on who will succeed the late Holy Father as the Vicar of Christ. The papal conclave has chosen each successive pope since its introduction during the Second Council of Lyons in 1274 and currently requires a two-thirds supermajority vote where each cardinal casts a single vote. As the cardinals deliberate within the conclave, thousands pack St. Peter’s Square and the Via della Conciliazione, while millions more watch from home and in cities around the world. They wait with bated breath for smoke to fume from the temporary chimney atop the Sistine Chapel. If the college fails to reach a consensus in a round of voting, those ballots are burned alongside chemicals which turn the smoke black. This is typically accompanied by a collective sigh from the masses outside. If the college manages to reach the requisite supermajority, then a new pope is elected. The ballots are burned along with potassium chlorate, lactose, and pine rosin, and the chimney fumes white smoke, followed by the thunderous clamor of multitudes and the bells of St. Peter’s Basilica ringing in full peal.
The third LEGO skyscraper goes up in Wasabi District!
I tried to make the rooftop one of the most detailed mechanical / HVAC LEGO layouts out there..
A view of my Union Depot train station with scaled down platforms. I plan to expand the station to 6 tracks with three longer platforms (every other track) at some point.
Finally, I can present you one of my personal MOC, designed by me and nobody else! :)
This is the faithful model of the Parthenon in Athens, in Lego Architecture style as usual. I designed it in LDD before, and then I managed to build it!
I'm still wondering why Lego hasn't never thought to do it as an official Lego Architecture set...
I've also uploaded this my MOC on Rebrickable! If you want to recreate it, here:

History:
The Pont du Gard is an ancient Roman aqueduct that crosses the Gardon River near the town of Vers-Pont-du-Gard in southern France. The Pont du Gard, built as three tiers of archways to bring water to the city of Nîmes, is the highest of all elevated Roman aqueducts, and one of the best preserved. It was added to UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites in 1985 because of its historical importance.
The bridge has three tiers of arches, stands 48.8 m (160 ft) high, and descends a mere 2.5 centimetres (1 in) – a gradient of only 1 in 18,241 – while the whole aqueduct descends in height by only 12.6 m (41 ft) over its entire length, which is indicative of the great precision that Roman engineers were able to achieve using simple technology. The Nîmes aqueduct was built to channel water from the springs of the Fontaine d'Eure near Uzès to the castellum divisorum (repartition basin) in Nimes
Brick Model Info:
The model has 2097 pieces and measures 65.92 x 16.16 x 20.48 (x,y,z) centimeters, (25.95 x 6.36 x 8,06 inches). The idea is try to respect the real proportion of the aqueduct.
Motivation:
As a fan of the LEGO Architecture series, I was surprised there were no official sets of this monument one of the most important sturcture of the ancient Roman Empire a collossal engineer structure.
I have visit this monument when I was child and I was entranced by his immensity.

I have wanted to build this house in Lego for a long time. However, the house is too big for minifig scale and a lot of details would be lost in micro scale. But when I saw this recently taken photo of the house, with the beautiful pink flowering tree in front of the house, it felt like a perfect alternative to build the tree with the house in the background.
A year ago I decided to only use existing bricks for my digital MOCs. But this time I really wanted to capture the original color of the house together with the color of the tree. Therefore this build is an exception from my rule. However, if you look at next/previous image you can see how this house would look if only existing bricks were used.
↪️ Metae were conical pillars which commonly marked turning points of Roman circuses.
📣 Just outside the Flavian Amphitheatre, the Meta Sudans fountain marked the turning point for Triumphal Processions through Rome.
⚔️ Here, Imperatori (victorious generals) would have turned from the Via Triumphalis onto the Via Sacra during a triumph.
