The Central Fire Station in Rochester, Minnesota was built in 1898 and used all the way up until 1930. Unfortunately it was torn down, but this incredible model by (RTN LNA) keeps the building alive in both spirit and design. Truly an incredible structure. Check out his MOCpages for more pictures and a comparison to the real building. Hope you all enjoy it!

Sven Junga just posted this amazing sculpture on flickr. Other photos reveal a fascinating scene of the statue being hauled across a bridge over a river of blood.

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!

Fluorescent graffiti

Alex Schranz uses transparent colors to create a 3D graffiti display of his signature “PAX.” He uses a black light to give the pieces a fluorescent glow, resembling something from another dimension.

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.

Will Page’s Portal turret

While we’ve featured several Portal turrets in the past, this version by Will Page (Haystack Hair) is one of the most accurate Lego renditions and even features opening side panels for the guns. Now I really can’t wait for Portal 2 to come out.

TARDIS Console Room from Doctor Who

Posted on February 27, 2011March 7, 2011 by admin

I’ve seen many brick renders of the TARDIS from Doctor Who, but I’ve never seen the interior built with Lego until Mr. Xenomurphy presented his latest creation. You don’t have to be a fan of the TV show to appreciate the striking architectural design with its intricate details and working lights. Check out the gallery on MOCpages for more photos including construction shots.

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!
