It is better than MiniLand, since I can almost imagine getting enough of the right bricks to build one - and have it still fit in my house, and it also takes more creativitiy to capture the essence of a building at your model scale. The domed roofs and architectural details really stand out.

Many thanks for your nice feedback!


   Do you have any fears about the heat from the light bulb hurting the model? (warping, color fade, etc.) I’ve thought about lighting some of my models up - but I didn’t want to risk adverse effects from the bulb heat.

I had some fears about the heat of the bulbs. There are two 25 watt bulbs inside the Santa Maria. And at 1000steine-Land they sometimes where on for more then 4 hours. I lifted the dome time to time to check the temperatures. And it was ok, nothing to fear about. Using only 25 watt was a good decision! There is quite enough space between the bulbs and the first LEGO pieces. Next time I also could use a fan?


   This goes on my list of “Most Beautiful Lego Buildings Modeled from the Real World”

Thanks, does this list exists online or only in your mind?


   Keep on inspiring us with your excellent models!

Yep, Venice will be extended!

I’ve uploaded some more pics of the Santa Maria della Salute (even pics of the original one in Venice) and of my minifig Venice:
