Yeah! Adding lights on modulars is a very nice touch! I have done it to my bookstore and Parisian restaurant and they both look amazing!

Hi! Just found out about this post! I would like to inform you that I currently am the ambassador of the Greek rLUG, thebrick.gr

Thank you both for your kind words. Yeah, the underground path was quite challenging to add in, as I had to stripe down almost the whole hill, in order to create the path, add the cave details and of course both hatches for entering and exiting. Despite the challenge faced, I am pretty happy with the outcome!

XG BC is right! After checking various building technics and among them, the SNOT ones, you will see what style suits you more and you feel more comfortable with and then you should start additional experimental building. Also, try to make use of the curved parts that are really helpful. If you feel comfortable with it, you could post a photo pointing out your issue, which might help for better advice.

As I see, there are a lot of different Taipei metro locomotives (old and new). First you need to decide which one suites you more and it's easier to build for you. Also, there is the option of the most challenging one (either because you like it more, or is newer or else). There, you will have to check almost all of the SNOT technics to find out which one suites you more for the build and then see how to proceed. Also, if you are familiar with Stud.io, I would suggest you to start building there to have a first look of your build before starting building it with physical bricks, as all the relevant LEGO parts are available and easy to find.

Introduction; I believe that many among us have made a MOC that they like, but think that something is missing and want to change it somehow to make it look better or emphasize in the story-telling. Among them, here I am! This MOC, follows my previous attempt and continues my story from where it was left! The Story; "...In a galaxy far, far away, somewhere in a corner of it, there is an unknown and isolated planet. Despite the initial disturbance from the clatter and thunder that unsettled the inhabitants of the planet on that festive day, the strange visitors became especially beloved by the local population. Our beloved C-3PO, despite speaking over 3 million languages and dialects, had a hard time getting in touch with them at first, but eventually succeeded and thus added another language to his database. The time was passing pleasantly as our 2 robots tried to find a way to repair their pod so they could continue their journey, enjoying their walks in the blossoming nature with the inhabitants of this isolated planet, until once again a bang and a thunder shocked the calm atmosphere that was prevailing..." I am looking forward for your comments! You can find additional pictures of my creation on my FlickR

Thank you very much! Yeah! Motorizing it was quite a challenge so I had to add two pf train motors in each engine. When it accumulates speed it goes quite smooth and I would say fast! Here is a video of my LUGs latest exhibition where we put it on track for the first time; To continue with you question, yes, the nose for me is always the hardest part of the train given all the smooth curves that it has. Also, as later on it gives the specifics to the rest of the train (height, width), you have to be extra careful when design it and build it!

Very nice build! Well done! Also, what a stunning layout!
-
Wow! Amazing built and surrounding area! I really like how the roof came out using this technique!
-
-
Wow! Amazing work! Thanks for sharing the technics you used! Much appreciated!
-
Very nice build with plenty of genuine touches! Well done!

Well done for your creations! When i saw it, my mind went exactly to this Diablo II NPC! You did amazing work!

The 1st of July is an important day for the Greek Parliament building. This year marks 87 years since July 1st, 1935, when the 5th National Assembly solemnly began its work in the new Plenary Hall of the Parliament, thus establishing the role of the building that remains the same to this day. Wanting to honor the history of my country and highlight one of the country's most emblematic neoclassical buildings, I decided to build it with the use of LEGO (in the spirit of the Architecture series) the parliament building, as well as the square with the monument dedicated to the Unknown Soldier. Hellenic Parliament by George Patelis My model consists of 4,842 pieces and measures 35cm x 51cm x 19cm and marks my first attempt to create something in Architecture style. The flag, which is the only non-LEGO element, is my wife's creation, using the macrame technique. More photos can be found on my FlickR account! Below, you can read some of the most important historical elements of the building; The Parliament Building, was built from 1836 to 1843 in the design of Friedrich von Gaertner, to house the palaces of Othon. In 1922, the palace ceased to be used and due to the circumstances after the Asia Minor Disaster, they were housed in it government agencies, private social agencies, and various international organizations. In 1925 a small building was erected in the grounds of the Old Palace, which is known to this day as "Palataki" and in 1928 the Monument to the Unknown Soldier, designed by the architect Emmanuel Lazaridis, was built and thus changed the facade of the building in relation to the surrounding area. Then, in November 1929, the Government of Eleftherios Venizelos, after many discussions, decided to house the Parliament together with the Senate, in the building of the Old Palaces. The works for the conversion of the building into a House of Parliament and Senate were plans of the architect Andreas Kriezis, and it was the most radical intervention in it, after the initial construction and gave it its present image. Finally, some of the most important aesthetic interventions on the outside of the building were the placement of the statue of Harilaos Trikoupis and Eleftherios Venizelos, works by the sculptor Yiannis Pappas, in the western enclosure of the building, and in 2003 the placement of the statue of the Mother of Christos Kapralos in the eastern precinct.

Dear all, I bring up my creation for the last time, as I can finally share with you the actual model I made. I took me almost 2 years from the designing phaze to completion, but I am really proud with the resault! I hope you enjoy it! Pictures of the final model as well as a video with various passings, are found in the first post! Thank you for your understanding and enjoy!

Thank you very much Vilhelm for your kind comments. The model in the hidden section, was in 7 studs wide, but even compared to that, in 8 studs wide it looks more accurate and impresive. I also agree that in 8 studs wide architecture where you are allowed to put to rows of seats, it also make it more look alike the original. In my model, the cocomotive is 62 studs in length, while each of the coaches are 54 studs long. So, we are takling of a train (2 locomotives and 4 coaches, like the original) of 340 studs in length meaning 2,72m or 8,92ft, in accordance to Sariel Converter. Thank you Thorsten for your comment! Thank you Black Knight! I'm glad you like it!

I am sorry to bring up such an old topic, but I had an update to my Tsubame Shinkansen Project, and I didn't want to make a new threat. As I explain in my original post, which I updated, I moved to 8 studs wide architecture, for better recreation of all the nose curves, and I also included interion to the wagons. I hope you like it. Any comments are much appriciated.

Congratulations! I really love it! Great details everywhere and a lot of movement as well!
