Hi Chris,
wow, I didn’t knew about your Alberta Legislative building! Either my eyes are
getting worse or my screen: Is your model build in tan or white? If it is tan,
how did you do the main columns of the main entrance:
Are these Technic hubs or half cylinder elements? White or tan?
| |
... For example, our structure looks to be considerably solider than
Dominik’s, in terms of interior supports.
|
As far as I understand, Dominik started building a more massive building with
more interior supports. But this seems to be to heavy and so he rebuilt
everything to a lighter solution. Only the side walls are connected with each
other.
| |
We haven’t made boxes to move ours - so far we just put the sections on
pieces of plywood, and that has been enough. It splits into 4 large
sections and 4 smaller sections.
|
This picture shows some of the wooden boxes the Capitol is stored in for
transportation.
| |
It has taken some time, but it is currently planned that our model will be
getting a permanent home in one of the underground corridors that is an
entrance to the real building. Any chance of Dominik’s fine model getting a
permanent home somewhere?
|
Nothing is planned right now. The officials form the real Capitol didn’t ring up
- as far as I know :-)

Thanks for sharing. This building is really great. Huge and full of details!

| (...) ... (...) Wow! That bring back memories of working on a similar project a couple of years ago. A friend and I, along with other helpers occasionally, did a model of the Alberta provincial Legislature for the local train show in the 100th (...) (17 years ago, 1-Sep-07, to lugnet.build)
