Now Just Build It!

I normally don’t post “digital” creations on here, but this was just too good to pass up. I really hope this gets built at some point. That dark red building and stone walkway that loops up around behind it is very cool. It’s a nice little neighborhood scene. Great job!

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 Humbled Modular

The Michigan LEGO Train Club at Ann Arbor Train Show was held this past Sunday, February 20, 2011 in Saline, Michigan. The models were created by members of the MichLTC, and as one can see, they were huge. I really like this shot because it captures the enormity behind the models. The small brown building in the middle would be quite large compared to Cafe Corner or Green Grocer, but in fact is relatively minuscule in this layout. So cool!

“I’ve Got a Gal in Kalamazoo!”

Well, not really. It’s actually a really great song by Glenn Miller, check it out sometime! But more importantly, check out this terrific layout of Kalamazoo, Michigan by Flickr member statlerhotel / d k. Not only does it feature the Kalamazoo County Courthouse, but also numerous other downtown buildings, such as the Grande Ballroom (see below.)

Great job on this. This is why LEGO is so awesome.
