Hi all,

just in time for the anual 1000steine.de-meeting after X-Mas (http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=67347) I finished my minifig-scale model of Venice in Italy.

The whole scenery is 4.5 x 7 baseplates (32x32 studs) large and includes some well known historic sights of the city:

Il Campanile - the red tall tower with a golden angel on top, Rialto Brigde - a very thin and wide bridge over 3 baseplates with two mirrored arched “buildings” with little shops, the Doges’ Palace - the mosaic on the wall will completed soon (hopefully), two columns with the famous statues, a tan and a new-light-brown villa, a small piazza with a little fountain ...

And some boats and gondolas and tourists.

See all pics at http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=67367 or http://www.holgermatthes.de/bricks/index.htm

And please: LMKWYT

Kind regards from Germany

HoMa

Well done, you've captured the essence of the "Serenissima"! By (...) (21 years ago, 30-Dec-03, to lugnet.build, FTX)

(...) Wow. Big structures, lots of details. You sure use odd plates well for the decoration. Apart from the gondolas, I like the fisherman's boat, who seems to have caught spider crabs! The Doge's palace is amazing. (What are the screens made of?) (...) (21 years ago, 31-Dec-03, to lugnet.build, FTX)

(...) Hi Holger Wow! It's truly amazing. Lots of nice details, you did a pretty good job. Ciao Mario PS I take the opportunity to inform you and other posters/lurkers of lugnet.loc.it that most of the traffic of the Italian community has been (...) (21 years ago, 2-Jan-04, to lugnet.build, FTX)

Very impressive. I love the detail especially some of the SNOT work. However, I can't work out how you have done the windows in the Doges Palace (and others). What are they made off? Are they transparent plates SNOT-wise? Kerry (21 years ago, 2-Jan-04, to lugnet.build, FTX)
