Stockholm, Sweden- (BTT) If all malls in Sweden look like this, I’m just going to pick up and move tonight. Actually, this is a model of a mall’s front, built for a display by AwesomeProject. The building itself is great, but it’s only the beginning of the model. The brickwork, wastebasket, signage, curved window, and glass skylight all scream “Mall”, while still being interesting and visually appealing. If only their prices were as amazing as this building!

Abundance of Dark Orange

A testimonial to why Dark Orange is such an awesome color, and yet, why is it seemingly impossible to obtain in large quantities (LUGs are an exception)? Take this as a hint, LEGO. People want this color, and it can do wonders for a model.

It’s far too expensive on Bricklink and Pick a Brick does not even offer it. I understand  that it might be a bit more expensive to produce such a color (especially just for adults), but wouldn’t it be more applicable to everyday models (sand/dirt, buildings, roads, terrain, etc.) compared to say, Bright Blue or Bright Yellowish Green?

So what do you as builders think?  Leave a comment or thought if you wish.
