Posted April 17, 201212 yr B-T-03D Another model of a London Underground tube station. This time it's Osterley station on the Piccadilly line in West London. Station designed by Stanley Heaps and opened in 1934:
April 18, 201212 yr This is beautiful and AWESOME at the same time 'AJW', but the brown doors and curved windows are from where ? I've asked in the past, but please say you try for a Woolworth store next ? Keep them coming 'AJW' !
April 18, 201212 yr I'm familiar with your other stations, and I've got to say this is up there amongst the best in terms of architectural design! Great job Edited April 18, 201212 yr by prateek
April 18, 201212 yr Your creations are not for the purists as they involve modifying and painting, but my oh my does the end result look great :) I love the brickwork and the custom stickers.
April 18, 201212 yr Yes as others have said, the end result is fantastic. The brickwork, custom stickers, and design is great. Also, how exactly did you make that curved window? Blue Brick
April 18, 201212 yr I always enjoy seeing the tube stations you transform into LEGO, and while this is maybe a little smaller than some of your previous builds, it is of the same very high standard. It really (like the others) reflects the architectural style of stations built in that era, and I especially like the curved wall of the waiting room. Really, really nicely done.
April 18, 201212 yr Wow great work I love the LEGO brickwork. But that curved window is new to me where did you get it?
April 18, 201212 yr Author Thanks guys and gals for your kind words. I know it's a bit controversial painting and modifying parts, but what can you do if the parts you need to recreate a building don't exist? Well you have to improvise! @Blue Brick - I regret to report that the curved window is a mangled part. It's one of these with the top cut off and some blue stickers applied to make a window frame: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=6059 (Image from Bricklink)
April 21, 201212 yr Nevertheless, you modified some bricks to give this creation an extremely elegant look. It's an amazing creation, and when you're able to modify bricks to make them look like they're commonly produced, it's worth it (I'd probably ruined them). Also, the custum stickers give a great effect. Well done!
