This model was commissioned by Living Sky Casino in Swift Current, Saskatchewan, Canada. It was unveiled at their 10-year anniversary celebration on December 28, 2018.
Model was built by MEEP Creative Agency (LEGO builder: kellyrev) in Yorkton, Saskatchewan, Canada.
The seven stone-cut murals on the side of the real building were redrawn and printed on vinyl stickers.
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).

What a strange cathedral! This is my latest MOC commissioned by the Magna Grecia Orchestra Association and represents the Co-Cathedral of Taranto built in the 1960s by Giò Ponti. (I won't hide the fact that the bell tower made me crazy ...:>)
My first try at a Lego Architecture set depicting a building outside the US. Although I wanted to get London's Big Ben first, it was sold out, so I settled for Seoul's main southern gate, Sungnyemun.
This is my first attempt at building a Lego model of East Asian style building, and it turns out quite well. A worthy addition to my Lego collection, even with the disgusting fascist restoration currently under progress in South Korea.
The unpacked set. As usual with the Architecture line, the instruction booklet has detailed information on the building's history.
📜 The third to be designed - though fourth chronologically - of the Imperial Fora, the Forum Nervae was begun under Domitian and completed by Nerva, the first of the so-called "Five Good Emperors."

The foundation has been laid; the green pieces stand for the grass that is planted around the gate in its modern form.
Based loosely on BCD Colonial Revival House instructions. Instead of it being the 3 floors of simple boxes, I've fleshed it out a bit, adding fully furnished rooms and stairs to the second floor and a pull down ladder to the attic (which is also furnished with a guest bed and a desk/office area).
This is my personal version of Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany in Architecture style!
I love this castle, since my childhood. It has a magical charm, like it comes from a fantasy novel...
It is said that even Walt Disney was inspired by it in the concepting Sleeping Beauty's Castle for his parks!
So I tried to capture its original composition in relatively few pieces.
If you want, I added its instructions on Rebrickable!

This set of five skyscrapers was created when I retrieved the bricks from my childhood. This model is essentially made with the simple primary color bricks from the late 1960's and early 1970's. The goal was to use ALL the bricks I had when I was a child. Created in 1997, it somewhat announced the end of my dark age.
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 ! 🙏🇺🇸

The wooden upper structure has two tiers of dark-colored tiled roofing. This is the upper tier, nearly completed. (At the real gate, the wooden portion was destroyed in a freak arson attack in 2008, and is being rebuilt for completion in 2012.)

I was able to attend two different events here in NYC, in Queens on Friday and in Manhattan on Monday. Both days were basically just free building, but it was fun.
A 10243 Parisian Cafe`, heavily modified/MOC'ed. Changes include: additional seating outside, front and back; additional seating inside; access to the rear porch seating through the cafe`; bathroom; expanded kitchen area; a separate access path for the residence (not through the cafe` seating area); fully appointed residence (to include a galley kitchen, living room, and bathroom on the first floor, and the artist studio and bedroom on the second floor). The whole MOC is the compilation of 2-10243's (minus one of the kitchens - that went into the Asian Restaurant), plus a few assorted pieces from my own collection.

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.
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.

Set 21013 was introduced in June 2012, just in time for the Summer Olympic Games in London a month later. For months, it was completely sold out at Lego's official stores and Lego's online store. After a bit of delay, I finally got my hands on it and built away. Despite being rather modest at 346 pieces, it consists of lots of small repetitive pieces and is therefore rated at age 12+; it took me 100 minutes or so to assemble.
The structure starts to go up. Strategic uses of different kinds of 1x1 bricks and tiles will be the key to replicating the Neo-Gothic facade of the Houses of Parliament and the Clock Tower.

Here's another Disney castle, Cinderella's one! This is Lego set #40478 with one major change: the back! As jm_rkuhtect rightly pointed out on the Rebrickable website, the original set wasn't accurate on the back. Following his instructions, the castle gets significantly bigger!

queens moc from behind showing the dome/tower
I was able to attend two different events here in NYC, in Queens on Friday and in Manhattan on Monday. Both days were basically just free building, but it was fun.
Drawers! Floors! Doors! The magical Madrigal family is here to welcome you to their beloved Casita (from the Disney Movie “Encanto”). Just please don’t talk about Bruno.
This MOC was first displayed at Brick Rodeo 2022 in Austin, Texas, where it received the “Fan Favorite” award, as decided by con attendees and the general public.
