[Build your dream home] Micro: Bourgeois Red-Brick City Villa

[pbat]

Here's my bourgeois red-brick city villa. It is roughly based on the Model Town House 4954, or rather Yeon Man Choi's mini version of it. I'm usually not that much into building micro scale, but I hope it's competitve enough anyway. Click on a thumbnail to get a bigger picture.

The car is an adaption of the Street Speeder 6743. Dustbin and downpipe are located next to the front stairs. The front door is flanked by two ancient lanterns. Note that the palm trees are made of plumed / feathered headdresses (6029b), which unfortunately do not exist in green in real life. An Indian Feather (30126) represents another sort of shrub and does not exist as that colour as well.

One wall is overgrown with ivy. Hopefully not the poison one.

The roof and the chimneys indicate that the house is presumably from the late Victorian era.

The roof overhang of the main building is not repeated at the garage. So maybe the garage wasn't included in the beginning, but added later, when cars became more popular.

The whole house including garage fits onto a 8×16 baseplate.

On this closeup you can recognize the shelf located inside the garage.

Microscale town creations go in the Special Themes forum. I've moved your topic there. Good luck in the competition.

Oh, sorry. I wasn't aware of it. No bad faith intended.

If not for the competition, I wouldn't have bothered doing microscale stuff: It's way harder to achieve appropriate results than on normal minifig scale!

Nice build, I love the dark red and stone grey colour scheme. Good luck!
