Hogsmeade Station by Matn
With LEGO Harry Potter sets making a return this year, it’s nice to see people building various Harry Potter creations again.
Matn has posted a gorgeous Hogsmeade Station that would look just as great in a regular Town/Train layout:

Much cooler than our Space Needle, Atomium was built for the 1958 Brussels World’s Fair. The aptly nicknamed Polegon has posted a microscale version of this Belgian landmark (via MicroBricks):
Which reminds me of the larger version posted some time back by Fragty (Klocki):
