Hi all,
just in time for the anual 1000steine.de-meeting after X-Mas
(http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=67347) I finished my
minifig-scale model of Venice in Italy.
The whole scenery is 4.5 x 7 baseplates (32x32 studs) large and includes some
well known historic sights of the city:
Il Campanile - the red tall tower with a golden angel on top, Rialto Brigde - a
very thin and wide bridge over 3 baseplates with two mirrored arched “buildings”
with little shops, the Doges’ Palace - the mosaic on the wall will completed
soon (hopefully), two columns with the famous statues, a tan and a
new-light-brown villa, a small piazza with a little fountain ...
And some boats and gondolas and tourists.
See all pics at http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=67367 or

And please: LMKWYT
Kind regards from Germany
HoMa

| (...) Wow. Big structures, lots of details. You sure use odd plates well for the decoration. Apart from the gondolas, I like the fisherman's boat, who seems to have caught spider crabs! The Doge's palace is amazing. (What are the screens made of?) (...) (20 years ago, 31-Dec-03, to lugnet.build, FTX)

| Very impressive. I love the detail especially some of the SNOT work. However, I can't work out how you have done the windows in the Doges Palace (and others). What are they made off? Are they transparent plates SNOT-wise? Kerry (20 years ago, 2-Jan-04, to lugnet.build, FTX)
