Going Old School

After a little break this week, Brick Town Talk finally returns with this terrific high rise building by Shuppiluliumas. The architecture and design on this structure is phenomenal; not too detailed, so as to take away from the original look but detailed enough to come across as a real building. My favorite part of this is  probably the tan bay windows shooting up from the third floor to the cornice. It has a very appealing look to it. Check out the inspirational building for a side-by-side comparison!

Enjoy the Bread!

An awesome little bakery with some terrific stonework. I love how everything is just kind of smashed together into one tiny space. It works perfectly for this model.

Here We Stand in Carentan

I guess modern buildings aren’t just his only expertise. These incredibly detailed models by Brian Lyles have that nice French styling to them and the colors are a perfect match. Too bad they’re blown to pieces, but honestly, that’s what makes this layout come together. Making something look like it’s damaged or destroyed can be a tough thing to pull off with LEGO. It is hard to find that balancing point, but obviously that doesn’t apply here! These are wonderful. Great job!

A Trip to the Downtown

The look of this little street section is just fantastic. The designs are nice and simple, and I really like the colors as well, especially with that fire escape there on the side of the tan building. It has a awesome “downtown” feeling to the whole thing, so check it out! I think you’ll like it!
