Posted February 5, 20214 yr Watch the recreation of an old city gate to enter the city Leiden, Netherlands. It's called the Morspoort (Mors gate) dated from 1669. A few weeks ago I created the topic [MOC] Sweet red mill. After photo 4 I added this project to my lego city.
February 5, 20214 yr So beautiful! Thank you for sharing this. My favorite detail I see so far is the technique for those arched windows on the front.
February 6, 20214 yr It looks very Dutch indeed, I especially like the use of the Friends (sticker) tile, even that (Stephanie) vibes very Dutch haha
February 6, 20214 yr Fantastisch! I recognized it immediately, when working from home I sometimes work from nu Parents home in Leiden, I past it on my daily walk, even more now that its part of the singelroute. You did an excellent job!!
February 6, 20214 yr I had to do a double take. I recognized it immediately as I visited Leiden daily pre-covid. But I couldn't believe that you MOC'd the exact building I cycled through so often! What a great MOC! I love the authentic shaping and colour layering with the white highlights. And the surroundings of the building are so lively and colourful! Also, I love the amount of bicycles featured. Very authentic XD
February 6, 20214 yr That looks great, the overall detail is outstanding and I love the windmill. Is the drawbridge functional?
February 7, 20214 yr Superb! I like the working bridge and the beautiful fish market ... it's all very realistic!
February 7, 20214 yr Welcome to EB! You've done a pretty good job recreating the scene. Well done on the dome especially!
February 19, 20214 yr Author Thanks! Here is a closer look inside the dome. I think creating a dome in lego is always tuff to make. The other picture is a closer look to the arched window.
June 22, 20213 yr Hi! I love what you've build about Leiden. Saw your video as well... We (Vereniging Oud Leiden) want to build and display the old town of Leiden over the coming months... we'd love to ask you to participate in this event, called Stad in Steentjes; Can you please contact me, so I can share the details and invite you personally to be part of this great event?
