Unfortunately, the model is very dependent on the base being as perfect as
possible, something mine isn’t, and as a result the roof on the back is very
tense. I am still wondering how I’ll manage to place it in the middle of a
layout, unless it is the first thing to be set up and it doesn’t have to be
moved afterwards. How do you guys do it on shows?

Hi Matija,
I also was following up your updates in the brickshelf gallery on the HNK
building. And right from the first CAD file I saw I must addmit that this
building is absolutly fantastic. It’s a very challenging building to convert it
into a LEGO model. But you’ve done a great job, both in CAD and in BRICKS!
Larger components (like the various domes) and small details (like the upside
down use of “rocket-noses” in white for lights) are brilliant.
Back to your question. It took me a while to find a stable way to build modular
large buildings which could be transported easily and are stable on various
kinds of tables. As I start my buildings somewhere at an iconic part and mostly
not at the base it’s quite a challenge to add a stable base later.
But to be able to transport and easy set up the model, a modular concept and a
good base is necessary. While building don’t worry about not connecting
everything with everything. Try to think of reasonable modules which could be
easly combined with some Technic pins or axles in 1x2 brick with axle hole.

Here you can see the modules which I use to set up my Frauenkirche.
Your HNK was your learning experience, and next time you will think in advance
of the more stability and a modular concept if you want to transport and show
your creations at public events. And your creations are definetly worth showing
to the public and other fans!
And you might also add some more inner structures to the facade elements and
perhaps think of a base using old 32x32 street plates. Use tiles covered by
bricks to make clear where a facade module should be placed while setting up the
model.
Could you upload some more detailed pics of the dome, windows, lights and and
and and to your brickshelf gallery.
Keep on brick’in

| (...) Thanks :) (...) The building is indeed modular, it has been designed as such because I knew I would need to put it apart for transporting. Basically every wall section is a separate module (details on how it is "cut" can be seen (URL) if (...) (16 years ago, 17-Jan-08, to lugnet.town, FTX)

It had become "a bit" exhausting after a while, but I think it was worth it. (2 URLs) To William, re "I (...) (16 years ago, 14-Jan-08, to lugnet.town, FTX) !
