Central Library is located in Milwaukee, WI. The building opened in 1898, and the model uses 298 pieces.
This 146-meter-tall office tower marks the end of the humble skyscraper boom in early 2000’s Munich. It is the tallest building in Bavaria, only surpassed by broadcasting facilities. It was completed in 2004 and designed by German architectural firm Ingenhoven Architekten.
The unwieldy name (that is: Munich Uptown Building) derives from its address in the northern region of Munich where it’s situated close to other high-rises such as the BMW-Vierzylinder and Highlight Towers.
Its current main tenant is Spanish communications company Telefónica, hence the giant O’s on the west and east facade of the tower. The high-rise itself is surrounded by several multi-story convention centers and offices.
The model consists of 2,787 pieces (649 of which are foliage) and is built in scale 1:650.

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.
It would be difficult to overstate the precedence of St. Peter’s Basilica as it qualifies for numerous superlatives including the most renowned work of Renaissance architecture, the largest church in the world, and one of only four Papal Basilicas. The Latin term “basilica” originally referred to a large, multipurpose, often-elongated building in Ancient Roman architecture. Well-known examples of this would be the Basilica Julia, Basilica Aemilia, and the inimitable Basilica of Maxentius & Constantine. Accordingly, this also became the standard vernacular by which Old St. Peter’s Basilica was constructed under Constantine I in the fourth century CE, the time period depicted in my SPQR piece. Eventually, basilicas came to denote rank among the churches of Catholicism. Though it is one of the four major basilicas of the Catholic Church, St. Peter’s is technically not a cathedral as that classification would require it to be the seat of a bishop, and the seat of the Bishop of Rome (the Pope) is at Saint John Lateran, elsewhere in Rome Proper.
Classifications aside, St. Peter’s Basilica is unmatched in its sheer size and the resultant vastness of its interior. From front-to-back it measures 220 meters (720 feet) in length, and from side-to-side 150 meters (490 feet) in width. The interior height of the nave rises to a lofty 137 meters (448 feet). To put this into perspective, the basilica was enormous beyond anything constructed since ancient Roman times and, indeed, remains exceptional even by today’s standards as it is still the largest church in the world. Put another way, you could fit the footprints of four One World Trade Center towers in a square at the center of the church, and you would still have the semicircular apses and the vast nave left unoccupied. The liturgies held within host audiences of up to 80,000 - more than the capacity of the Colosseum at its height, whose stones were quarried for the rebuilding of St. Peter’s and other contemporary structures until Pope Benedict XIV consecrated its remains in 1749. St. Peter’s also welcomes more than 10 million visitors per year. Whether for the sake of pilgrimage or marveling at the gilded vastness within, visitors can view masterpieces such as Michelangelo’s marble Pietà or Bernini’s enormous bronze baldacchino (altar canopy) and Cathedra Petri (Chair of Saint Peter).
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.
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.

“… 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.
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?

Here we are! Maybe this is my most difficult MOC I ever did! Saint Basil's Cathedral in Moscow!
I'm honest, I had two different inspirations: one was a model found on Bricklink, designed by Jacob Harper, but the most important one was Markus Rollbühler's MOC, which has always fascinated me for its amazing techniques!
The latter, moreover, was so kind to reveal me some secret techniques used in his MOC for the domes! Thank you Markus! :)
However, as you can see, my MOC is also different from the former MOCs: it maintains the dimensions typical of Architecture series, but the most difficult part was to find the correct pieces in the correct available colors...
And talking about my techniques: I'm not so crazy and skilled like Markus! :P
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.
I was asked by the designer of this MOC, Daniel Bugeja, to produce instructions for this amazing recreation of Rammas Echor.
You can find the instructions on Rebrickable. rebrickable.com/users/Playwell%20Bricks/mocs/

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.
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.

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 part of a larger display I’m developing for exhibition next year, where I’ll be revisiting and expanding on the concept of Neo Fabuland—a reinterpretation of the classic Fabuland aesthetic, much like how Neo-Classic Space draws inspiration from the original Classic Space theme. If you’re curious, you can read more about the goals of the project here.
I currently have several builds in progress for this display, and this is the first one to be completed.
While not directly based on any specific Fabuland set, this watermill draws loose inspiration from 3679 Flour Mill and Shop. It features a weathered stone-and-timber structure beside a millpond, complete with a working waterwheel, lily pads, reeds, and rounded rocks. The water cascades over the rocks to form a small waterfall. I’m especially pleased with the textures throughout—the flowing water, the stonework, and the building itself—as well as a custom spreading tree technique I developed for this scene (and will likely reuse in future Neo Fabuland builds).
This build also showcases my approach to Neo Fabuland windows, using brick-built frames with vinyl-cut sticker panes to echo the distinctive charm of original Fabuland designs.
