Some techniques used in my LEGO® Tate Modern
Left: although the chimney shape seems basic in the final model (and in reality), it's quite detailed. To achieve the finer details, brown tiles are attached sideways to a tower with black SNOT bricks on each corner and minifig neck brackets in between.
Top right: by contrast, the Switch House tower is incredibly complex but luckily the four projecting angles of the pyramid match the angles of LEGO wedge plates fairly closely. To reduce the 'zig zag' of the vertical angles, each layer is offset by half a LEGO stud. This made the build much more challenging as did the inclusion of the windows. I will rebuild this when the new wedge plates (parts 24299/24307) appear in brown.
Bottom right: making the Millennium Bridge at such a small scale gave me many headaches until I remembered part 2852, which I had bought a few dozen of the year before for no reason other than they looked interesting!
