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.

And please: LMKWYT
Kind regards from Germany

It's amazing! I love the balcony you made using yellow chalices. I also like
how you caputred the slanted streets using stacked plates. The small shops that
stick out of these small streets and alleys are a nice touch.
Great work! Great detail!

I... love it! It’s awesome, the amount of detail you managed to put in all the
buildings is absolutely overwhelming. My favourite is the Rialto Bridge, with
the wedding party (?). Well done, you’ve captured the essence of the
“Serenissima”!
By the way, will you make another version? Perhaps during an “Acqua Alta”? ;-)

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?) The simple
checkered tiles look better in there than any time before.

PS I take the opportunity to inform you and other posters/lurkers of
lugnet.loc.it that most of the traffic of the Italian community has been
recently moved to lugnet.org.it.itlug.

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?

Hi Kerry and others,
yes, the windows are build out of tons of 1x2 and 1x1 plates in transparent.
Then the whole window is turned by 90°.
At daytimes:
At night:
I love the pattern which appears using only these plates.
BTW, I went to LEGOLAND Günzburg (Germany) to get these plates in large numbers
form the pick-a-brick walls.
Kind regards,
Holger
