Hello,
My latest creation is a model of the art museum KunstHausWien in Vienna,
Austria, designed by famous Austrian artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser.
See all pictures in this
folder
Reference pictures for
comparison
The model was presented at the Danish LUG Byggepladen’s annual event Klodsfest
2008 and was part of the train layout.
The model uses plenty of SNOT techniques and slopes to mimic the original as
closely as possible and it took ages to complete since no area of the facade are
alike.
This is not my first Hundertwasser model. In 2004, I built a model of his most
famous construction, the Hundertwasser Haus, also located in Vienna. See
original post and
Brickshelf folder.
All comments are welcome!

Hi,
Some years ago I built a subway station based on the new Copenhagen metro
(Lugnet post, Brickshelf:
station,
train,
reference pictures).
Looking back now, I’m not quite satisfied with the result, especially the train
could use a make-over.
Here is the new model, only this time I chose to model the elevated railway
station “DR Byen” (lots of reference pictures in
this folder):
Station
Brickshelf folder
The station has a very ligth weight design and is built around 10 nearly
identical steel bays between the tracks. The platform is almost completely
detached from the elevated tracks and I’ve used the same principle when building
the station
(construction pic). The entire structure is very stable, though. It features a
lift (not working) and two symmetrical staircases. I’ve tried to include as many
details as possible in minifig scale such as ticket machines, newspaper stands,
ads etc. and it took quite a while to produce all the stickers. But it was worth
it, the stickers add the final touch to make the station look very much like the
real thing.
My favorite pics:
this, this and
this.
Train

Reference pics
The train has three cars connected with closed coupling and the engine placed in
the middle. I’ve used small train wheels to lower the train floor and reduce the
total size of the metro train. The train aligns perfectly with the platform with
only half a stud of space in between
(pic). In fact, the red collector shoe on the boogie fits under the platform!
The closed coupling mechanism is hidden underneath the cars. It’s very simple
using rubber bands and it ressembles the mechanism I used for my
S-train. See more
pictures of the design in the
brickshelf folder
So, what do you think of the station and train? I’ve been eager to present this
model so all comments are welcome.

I am pleased to announce that not one, but two Brick Testament books have now
been published in Danish, the native language of the LEGO company itself!
Publisher Forlaget Vandkunsten has
now released translated versions of both
The Brick Testament: The Ten
Commandments and The Brick
Testament: The Story of Christmas:
Additional images and sample pages from these books can be found
here.
I’m not sure how easy or difficult it is to find these books in stores in
Denmark, but you can definitely purchase them through the
publisher’s website and apparently at
a
couple of other online retailers.
-Brendan Powell Smith
P.S. By the way, more new stories are coming to the website later this week!

Hej,
Er Byggepladens hjemmeside gået i sort? Måske ramt af spam-bots??
Det er ihvertfald ikke muligt at komme ind på siden her til morgen
31.okt.2006....
