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
Brickshelf folder
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

Ok, but I am not entirely sure what to do. It looks like I have to give the
LDRAW organisation non exclusive rights to distribute it as they see fit, but at
the same time I am still allowed to let whoever else I see fit use it, right?
But how do I do this? Do you have a form I have to fill in, or do I have to add
it to the dat file itself (I no longer have it you see). I am willing to grant
anyone non-exclusive rights to distribute the dat file, also I am willing to
grant the LDRAW organisation the rights to modify the dat file if that should be
nescessary.
So how to go about it?
/John

Hi John,
It would be really good to have that affirmation.

A very simple idea and a very simple train: The Beer Train
All pictures on Brickshelf
During the FIFA Soccer World Cup, the train was operating on a regular basis
with up to 10 daily services between Fridge (in Kitchen) via Fuzball to Couch
(in Livingroom), see
this
picture. For some reason the tank cars were always empty when returning...
The engine
is placed beneath the first car, which allows the train to run even when all
five cans are full, see
this movie.
In fact, the train doesn’t run as smooth when the tanks are empty.
The cans rest un the slopes placed right above the wheels for increased
stability.  keeps the can
in position and follows the curved top perfectly, see
this
picture. It also makes it very easy to remove the cans when needed.
The BNSF engine is a great match for the green color on the cans from Carlsberg,
which is brewed only a mile from where I grew up. When the wind was right, the
entire neighborhood would smell of... beer!
Anyway, what do you think of it?
See you,

Hey,
A couple of years ago, I built the Queensland Tilt Train and James Mathis came up with a
great idea on how to simplify the
tilting mechanism.
Ever since I’ve been wanting to use this tilt design to built the Swedish X2000
high speed tilting train and now I finally got around to it. I don’t have the
bricks for a complete train, so you’ll have to do with a passenger car
prototype. Anyone who wants to use the design to finish the model, go ahead, I’d
love to see it. Reference pictures can be found in
this folder. My own
subfolder with reference pics seems to have disappeared on Brickshelf somehow
(?)
All pictures and movies in
this Brickshelf
gallery.
The principle is the same: A high
pivot point,
train weights as close to the tracks as possible
(pic) and
gravity takes care of the rest!
This movie and
this picture
show the tilting in action, but they don’t really give the mechanism full
credit: It looks much better when you just stand and watch it :-) Be sure to
check out the remaining movies as well.
The simplified tilt mechanism nearly doesn’t take up any inside space, so unlike
the Queensland Tilt Train, this one has
interior.
Using a TECHNIC axle, it is possible to exactly adjust the height of the pivot
point. As you may have guessed, the car is built almost entirely on bricks from
the Santa Fe cars, yet the design looks a lot different.
That’s all for now. What do you think of it? All comments are welcome.
