Welcome to fabulous Las Vegas! This model is built in the style of the official Skylines LEGO sets, and I made it for Rebrick's recent Dream Skylines contest. This MOC features 4 landmarks of Vegas: from left to right we have the Excalibur, the MGM Grand, the Bellagio, and the Stratosphere.
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.

Brookside Mansion
I am very proud to unveil my most challenging work to date, The Brookside Mansion! The mansion was originally constructed in 1889 by the industrialist John H. Bass. It now serves as the administration building for the University of Saint Francis, in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
The Sisters of Saint Francis of Perpetual Adoration acquired the building in 1944 and converted it into a university. Originally the mansion was the only building to house the university but, as the university campus grew, it served in many roles and, as mentioned, now serves as the administration building.
In 2009, the Sisters began a restoration of the building and did an breath taking job of bringing it back to its original glory while modernizing it where needed.
It is truly a spectacular architectural delight and a dream design for any LEGO designer. I was truly honoured to be chosen for such a monumental task.

Pictured here is one of three Ficus benghalensis located in the Charbagh at Taj Mahal. More commonly known as a Banyan tree, they are the national tree of India. It was only fitting, therefore, that they were given a distinct method of construction in my LEGO rendering of the gardens. The sprawling network of trunks and branches are represented using a bright green coral element, with numerous 6-stem branches adding a dense bramble of foliage. Not to be outdone by the national tree of India, I made sure that each and every tree and bush within the Charbagh are specific representations of the very same trees in the very same spots as in the real world. Additionally, the varying colors of the trunks are indicative of their individual characteristics, as well as the splashes of yellow and orange flower plates corresponding to the shades of fruit that those floral species would bear. This was all possible thanks to an extensively photographed compilation of views from every pathway in the Charbargh in Google Street View. Thankfully, as I am certainly no dendrophile, there are signs affixed to most of the trees which denote the species and common names of most of the flora throughout the gardens. To name just a few of the trees which are represented here, in addition to Banyans, there are; Millettia peguensis, Ficus virens, Cassia javanica, Mimusops elengi, Peltophorum pterocarpum and Thespesia populnea, among many others.

House of Three is a contemporary Scandinavian family home. I've tried to catch contemporary Scandinavian architecture in colours, floor plan and roof design. The interior and furniture in inspired by IKEA and other Scandinavian designs. Comfortable living suitable for a small family.

Right of the highway on Central Ave (Bley District). At 21 stories, this is the tallest building outside of downtown.
I was asked by the designer of this MOC, Daniel Bugeja, to produce instructions for this amazing recreation of Rammas Echor.

📜 The so-called Trajan's Market was once a sprawling, multi-level complex along the slopes of the Quirinal Hill. Its multitude of shops, offices and administrative buildings made for a bustling and densely packed backdrop to the spacious Imperial Fora below. Whereas the grand forums were built in the most opulent materials available, the structures of Trajan's Market were built of "less noble materials" and are, consequently, almost completely preserved to this day, as it now houses The Museum of the Imperial Forums in Trajan's Market.

樂高台北 - 信義區
This smaller Lego Micropolis focuses around the Taipei 101, which from 2004-2010 was the tallest building in the world! And the first to reach 500+ Meters in height!
The MOC took 10 hours to design and build, using 1,640 Lego Pieces!
It's the smallest size a commission Build from ScapebySam can be!

For anyone wondering how I made the stained glass effect; I put a bunch of transparent cheese slopes in rainbow colors between two walls of clear 1x2 plates on their sides, to hold the slopes in and diffuse the light better.
Not sure how well this technique would work in real life tho
Berlin’s Red City Hall, envisioned by Hermann Friedrich Waesemann, was completed in 1869 and housed the Berlin government ever since. It was heavily damaged by Allied bombing raids in the 1940s and restored in the 1950s. It then served as East Berlin’s city hall before the Berlin Senate moved back in there in 1991, after the German reunification. The immense height of 94 meters results in the wish to exceed the top of the Berlin Stadtschloss to set a sign against aristocratic regency.
The building is another example of influences of long-gone architectural styles that were popular in nineteenth-century Germany. Waesemann designed the city hall in the Rundbogenstil (round arch style), that got inspired by Romanesque and Renaissance architecture.
The model consists of 1,498 pieces and is built in scale 1:650.
Calmwater Cliff House is located on a cliff by the beach. Two floors with a terrace on each floor. Downstairs you find a spacious kitchen and dining area, a bathroom and home office. Upstairs you find a music corner with sea view, a bedroom and the main entrance.
As you see it´s a LEGO house and I´ve mainly used the colours black, dark tan, tan and reddish brown.
I wanted to make a modern home - in some way inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright and the colours of the 20th century - updated to 21st century lifestyle.
Lar's and Josette's city blocks which include a very rare light-yellow brick building.
The MichLTC display runs from November 27, 2009 to January 3, 2010 in conjunction with the LEGO Castle Adventure exhibit at The Henry Ford.

A minifig eye view of the lounge. My favourite bit has to be the turbolift doors. I love they way they turned out.

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.
Hey everyone! In this album I'll share my latest WIPs and MOCs under construction, mainly the next skyscraper in Wasabi District!
This image, actually taken weeks ago, is a preview of what the latest skyscraper project will look like.
Also, follow @wooootles on Instagram, where I also share LEGO WIPs (and other things too, it's my personal IG account!)
