Hi fellow,

For several years, I do a lot of SW stuff. Many UCS models...

But since last year, I am much more into City/Architecture stuff.

For the exhibition "Histoire en Briques" ("History in Bricks" in English), I designed some of the buildings of Saint Quentin, a city in the North of the France. Note that you can visit that event till June 19th.

The Town Hall, 11,000 parts.

I also did some other models (often smaller), as a tribute to the previous "Histoire en Briques" events.

Napoleon crossing the Alps. 97,000 elements, almost 3 meters tall. My fingers suffered a lot !! :'(

Hope you enjoyed that presentation. Don't hesitate to comment. :)

PS : yes, some parts had to be painted.

It's funny that there are no topics about this exhibition on Eurobricks. Someone should post the pictures of all the creations :-)

Yes, I think 'wow' is the only appropriate word. You did all these? They are brilliant. All of them.

That microscale train is the star of the show for me, though. So neat!

Can you see where I used Star Wars battle droid bodies ? :D

"These are not the droids you're looking for." :grin:

I happen to pass through the region twice during my upcoming vacation. Just in case I manage to convince my traveling partner for a stop, could you post the address of this event please? I had no luck finding it on the site.

Yes, they are all my design.

Regarding the train, I am surprised how well received it is. I mean, it is not that impressive. Well, it may be funny. :)

I'm impressed. The Town Hall is absolutely amazing. Love the openwork decorations above the windows, especially.

I'm not very into Architecture but I have to admit that your Basilica is great.

What's the funniest is that I like The small train of La Mure the most. Looks very simple, but it's so stylish! Looks like an old-fashioned toy to me. I wanna have it on my shelf :D

Thank you all !

I think the Town Hall is also my favorite building. :)

Tell your fingers it was worth it!

Ok, I will do that. :D

These are really incredible MOCs! I find it challenging to replicate a real life building in minifig or microscale, yet you did just that. Some of the architectural details are really interesting, and there seems to be a few interesting building connections. I was intrigued by the angled half round structures on the basilica. It's hard to say which is my favourite, but the basilica and the train model are close to the top. It's not easy to build in microscale with so many details.

I was also impressed by some parts. You used white windows with rounded top, which I didn't know existed in white, as well as horses in sand green.
