Gorgeous! My favorite little details are the phone booth and the escalator.

Esben,
Very nice interpretation. I really like your favorite picture as well.
I love all the tiny little details in the minifigures and what they're doing
above the platform.
Excellent work, always nice to see a new station.

Absolutely incredible! Packed full of features and minute details. I love
the adverts and the automatic ticket machines. Far more than I do in real
life, in fact!
Brilliant mate.

That looks great. However, I have to say, ooh nice train. You went to
great lengths to get windows the shape that you wanted.

Very nicely done. The skylight is great. I will have to borrow that for my
next town creation. The advertisments are neat too. The details everywhere
are very nice. Is this to be part of a larger layout or creation? I am
sure this would go over great at a train show.
Good work!

I considered writing the Copenhagen Metro Company and ask if they could use
my model for some purpose. But the model was only built for my own fun (and
of course to be published on Brickshelf and Lugnet!). I haven't yet attended
any LEGO train show, but I'd love to some day.
Also, the model is already falling apart. We needed the table tennis table
that the station was standing on to ... play table tennis! The underground
part of the station is still standing but the ground level has been taken apart.
By the way, to build this model I used all my grey bricks and most of the
white bricks. So I wouldn't have bricks enough to build a bigger layout. And
if I want to build new models (which I do, I've plenty of ideas!) no models
can expect to stand for more than a month or so!
Thanks to all of you for your kind words!

This is very cool. Subway stations are such interesting geometric spaces that
they beg to be done in LEGO. You made great use of pieces, and the activity
really makes an intereting scene. Good job!

I've been checking this out on BrickShelf for the past several days.
Nice Job!

Great model, Esben. A pitty that you have to tear it down so quickly. Would
you not like to build something and show it for real at the next European
meeting of LEGO fans? See how much fun we had:

Nice. Earlier this month I was on my first trip with the metro. You
have caught the general look of the stations very well. The only thing
I miss is the glass wall between the platform and the tracks (its only
there on one side in your model).

Definitely nice details.
Play well,
Jacob
