Last friday, in my newspaper, I saw a picture of a model of a real house in Stockholm Old Town ("Gamla Stan"). I thought the proportions were very LEGO-like, and decided to try to build it in real LEGO.

A fellow swebrick:er managed to locate the real house on google maps - https://maps.google....,,0,-24.73&z=17 You can compare it to the model (above), and my LEGO model (below).

I'm pretty satisfied with the result (even though it took a couple of days):

If you're interested in the actuall process of building it (and are good at Swedish) you can follow this thread at our Swedish LEGO forum (swebrick), or look at the Construction folder at Brickshelf (when moderated) - http://www.brickshel...ry.cgi?f=539330

Looks good and I'm going to disagree with LT in that I like the use of the reverse plates as architectural detailing. It's unexpected and it works.

Are you going to build an interior for it?

That's a very nice, clean build. It is very true to the original, nice work! I am on the fence about the reverse plates around the front door, though after thinking about alternatives and coming up with nothing I think it is a pretty good interpretation of those details in Lego.
