Hi all,
This has been a long planned and long prepared project of mine (and will
hopefully continue to develop once I have more space) but I think I’m
finally happy enough with it to post pictures. I’ve tried to recreate Moscow
in the early 80s before perestroika and globalisation altered the city
forever. I’ve attempted to keep as much as possible authentic to the era
although I believe the bus may actually be a St Petersburg livery rather
than a Moscow one. I’d be really happy to hear of any inaccuracies or
mistakes from people that have lived in Moscow at that time so I can improve
it.
Anyway, enough talk,
|
Hi Tim,
Brickshelf didn’t make us wait to long . . .

Yeah. I got a little impatient and posted before it was modded... about four or
five hours after uploading.

Looks great! The trains and bus are my favorites. You’ve gotten some
really nice details into the buildings as well as the subway platform. I
love the doubled arches on the subway platform.

The arches on the subway are a bit of a disappointment. I can’t really spend
much money on Lego at the moment so I had to simplify them significantly from
the original design with three layers of half stud offsets. The baseplate ceiling
however was a cost-cutting move I was very happy with. For budgetary reasons the
white building also suffered a little in the fine detailing.
Thank you,
Tim
