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.
|
Thanks :)

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.
|
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
here if someone is interested). I actually tried using Technic bricks with
pins and axles, but in the end I decided either not to connect modules at all or
to connect them using studs at a few places.
Nice photoshoot! (and model, I get stunned every time I see it)

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!
|
Thanks, that’s why I make them (I definitely do not have place for them home :)
) and it is always nice to see that people like them .
| |
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.
|
As mentioned above, I did think in advance regarding transport. The building
seems also to be stable, although it never hurts to add more structure.
Side note: the two domes, being very heavy, have own stands.
Old street plates are exactly what I had planned to use (if you look at the
CAD picture you’ll see them around the model). Another plan is to expand it
with grass and flowers, like it is done in reality... but we’ll see about that.
| |
Could you upload some more detailed pics of the dome, windows, lights and and
and and to your brickshelf gallery.
|
Done (available after moderation, or immediately from the MOCpages gallery).
I also made some comparison photos between the real building and the
model, it took a while to find the right angles and rotate the model in a
not-so-wide kitchen :)
