Thank you, Sir, I will do so. There was a bit of camera shake due to the spontaneous nature or the filming. Also, I had been drinking in some cases shortly before the filming commenced. I do hope it didn't spoil your enjoyment too much.
I did think about a church, but this would be quite a challenging project, particularly a gothic building. I have seen some lovely Lego models of cathedrals here in England, but they are not easy to design!
@@CombraStudios Thank you! I am trying to channel the avuncular charm of the 1970s TV presenters from my childhood! Such as John Noakes (Blue Peter), Fred Dineage (How) etc. Mick Robertson from Magpie was like the cool older brother you could look up to.
You've finished that municipal house you were working on. How long have you actually been working on it?I especially like the little details and the introduction song of your videos Good luck
Thank you! I think the town hall took the best part of a year (I copied the design from Brickative). The Library is copied from a the Lego ideas submission by Jiwoo. I am trying to avoid the 'official' modulars in favour of (other people's) MOCS. PS: The music is Respighi's 'The Birds'.
It was a mixture of sunshine and showers! It threw it down with rain while we were in the castle, and then later in the afternoon, when we had to take refuge in a charming old pub. I would recommend a visit there, though, it has some lovely buildings in the old town. One drawback is the train station is on the outskirts of town so you have to get the tram to the centre which is 2.5 Euros each way and not well signposted. Best ask a local for directions!
Thank you Sir, though I should point out that they are entirely copied from designers much more talented than I. My only talent is to 'improve' things slightly - for example by adding 1x1 brackets to the wheel arches of the Jerry Builds Bricks red sports car it closed a slightly annoying gap in the bricks. I also tend to substitute a silver 'rolling skate' brick for the door handles instead of the 1x1 round plate..
Only a couple, so far - the James Bond Aston Martin and the Fast and Furious car (I also made the 1960s Batmobile and the Star Wars Landcruiser but they are not technically speed champs). I personally find 8 studs a bit wide for the scale that I'm aiming for, and a lot of the speed champs are a bit 'samey' if you get what I mean. I tend to go with retro designs, max 6-studs.
Many thanks, Sir. As Mark Twain might have observed, my MOCs are both good and original, though what is good is not always original and the original is not always good. One does one's best, though.
Alas, the kitchen table is not big enough for the Yuletide dinner, so Brickstead will have to move upstairs temporarily. I will retain the two buildings in progress, though, plus some exciting retro vehicles, so watch this space!! 😀
Good - question. Yes, I have made one in the Fire Station rest room as during the 1960s this was exclusively for male firemen's use (specifically Pugh, Pugh, Barney-McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble and Grub). Toilets in other buildings are generally unisex due to space constraints, so only have flushing toilets.
No particular favourites, but I find the modified plate 3794b (so-called 'jumper plate', with the stud in the middle of the brick) especially useful as it enables you to recess windows, columns etc half a stud into the wall. It's a really versatile brick!
Alas, it would be much too expensive and complex. That being said, watch out for my upcoming video on Boston, where I contribute two bricks to a full scale Lego model of the 'Stump' before climbing the 206 steps to the top of the (real) tower!
As Michael Gove has revoked the UK green belt, I figured it would be OK to build a town hall on what is effectively a 'brown field' site in the Brickstead urban envelope. Brickstead is constitutionally an absolute Monarchy, ruled by decree from His Majesty King Karl-Rudolf Maximilian von Legoland Uber-Taxis, so I simply got the nod from him.
