80012 Monkey King Warrior Mech

May 25, 2020Reviews, Set ReviewsChristian

I love color and originality. The moment the Monkie Kid theme leaked on the net, I knew that I wanted these sets. When the official announcement came, I was well and truly hooked. On the day of release, I lurked lego.com, waiting for those buy buttons to appear. I ordered three of the largest sets and I couldn’t wait to dig in.

10271 Fiat 500

March 6, 2020Reviews, Set Reviewscar, reviewChristian

I don’t buy many car models, and to be lately I haven’t been building many sets at all. This adorable model caught my eye immediately though. I love little cars of the sorts that generally don’t exist in the world anymore, and if the cute car wasn’t enough, they released it in cool yellow!

Micropolis Monday: City Cultural Center

November 25, 2019Modelsarchitecture, micropolis, Micropolis MondayChristian

Many of my buildings start with a seed. I really enjoy architecture and spend a fair amount of time looking at pictures of buildings. This started that way, with a picture seen once, that grew in my imagination in an entirely new direction.

Micropolis Monday: Terryfield 2,3,4

November 25, 2019Modelsarchitecture, micropolis, Micropolis MondayChristian

I like to think of the evolution of cities. Some buildings come and go as they fit or don’t fit the needs of their surroundings. Other buildings are adapted, taking on new roles in the landscape.

Micropolis Monday: Ulster Plaza

November 18, 2019Modelsmicropolis, Micropolis MondayChristian

One of the features that I really wanted my Micropolis project to have was public space. I wanted my city to feel like somewhere that people live and not just a cluster of buildings.

Micropolis Monday: Isolated House

November 18, 2019Modelsmicropolis, Micropolis MondayChristian

I always find it fascinating when houses remain long after the surrounding neighborhood has moved on. Houses where the owners refuse to budge, and developers are forced to build around them.

Micropolis Monday: 12 Castle

August 5, 2019Modelsarchitecture, micropolis, Micropolis MondayChristian

Last week I doubled up with two full-block builds. This week I went in the other direction with something small and tall.

Micropolis Monday: City Swim Center

July 29, 2019Modelsarchitecture, micropolis, Micropolis MondayChristian

I really enjoy the idea of bold civic buildings and I love the architecture of athletics. Though a full stadium would be too big for my city, a big pool would be just about perfect.

Micropolis Monday: Miller’s Hill Market

July 29, 2019Modelsarchitecture, micropolis, Micropolis MondayChristian

Many of the buildings in this project have been inspired by architectural drawings and models that I’ve seen. This fantastic design is a simplified version of something that is being built in South Korea and the wild audacity of it really stuck with me.

Micropolis Monday: Townsend Hall

July 15, 2019Modelsarchitecture, micropolis, Micropolis MondayChristian

This model started as a sketch. I had time to kill at my day job and spent some of it planning and mapping. What I love about this building is how different it is from everything else that I’ve done.
