My LEGO®-related Rambles
By Caz
Prince Olaf was the eldest son of one of the ancient kings of Micropolis. Legend has it that he built a magnificent castle as a home for himself and the princess he had fallen in love with from a rival Kingdom. But their fathers were set against the union, and Olaf fought a great battle with his father the king.
In the process, the castle was laid to ruins and still stands today as a reminder of the tragic tale. It is now a much-loved landmark at the heart of Micropolis culture.

A few months ago I acquired the LEGO Gift With Purchase set, 40291 Creative Personailities, showing Danish children’s author Hans Christian Andersen writing one of his books on a bench, complete with a swan lake and a small child passing by.
While the official scene was nice enough, I felt I wanted to create a custom insert for the book and chose science fiction, my favourite genre, to depict.
I teamed up the spaceship Micro build from the Dimensions Benny Fun pack, flying in the vacuum of space on one page, and the astronaut from Collectable Minifig series 15 sitting at a custom made control console on the other page.

This is Verdant Place, a LEGO Micropolis MOC on a 1/4 block footprint. It is the HQ of the Green Energy Company which provides the city’s power via renewable sources.
The building has a green roof which retains moisture and also houses a recreational space where employees can enjoy their break time.

How not to make a cube look boring… This LEGO Microplis block is called Kiina House, named after the Bionicle set from which a couple of the detailing pieces come. The triangular windows on the street corner and zig zag panes to the rear also give the block visual interest.

This is Big Blue, the largest LEGO MIcropolis block so far built for my city. It sits on a 1/2 block footprint and represents a huge office tower in the Downtown area. The transparent bricks and two-tone blues all came from Pick A Brick hauls from visits to various LEGO shops.

This 1/4 block LEGO model is called Goldstar Plaza, an office block for the Downtown area of Micropolis. It is constructed from many pieces that I found in trips to Pick A Brick walls at local LEGO stores. Originally it was only half as tall, but I decided to extend it vertically and add another connecting bridge.
