Argyle Heights – Micropolis Block #201

Friday, 20th November 2020 By Caz

Having recently shown you my big Micropolis layout, we are now back to highlighting individual models.

This one is called Argyle Heights, thanks to the diagnoal pattern which is reminiscent of Argyle jumpers and socks! It houses some prime office real estate in the heart of Downtown.

Micropolis Flyover 2020 – Blocks #101-212 Plus Extras

Saturday, 7th November 2020 By Caz

7th November 2020 is exactly three years since I build my first Micropolis model. A lot has changed since then!

Over the course of the last 100-or so Micropolis videos, many folks have asked to see them all together.

I usually manage to film something like that when I take my models to Shows, but since I have only done one public show this year, and that was with Great Ball Contraption, I thought it was about time to do another Micropolis flyover video at home.

So this is a layout with models 101-200 plus a few extras to complete the square. It represents about half of my Micropolis models – I don’t have room to lay them all out at once!

I hope you enjoy the view!

Jade Court Hotel – Micropolis Block #200

Wednesday, 4th November 2020 By Caz

Jade Court Hotel is the 200th Micropolis model that I have built. It is a luxury hotel which sits on the best plot along the promenade of Micropolis Bay, overlooking Holy Island.

The architecture is quite striking, with the stepped square sitting on just two pillars, leaving the structure straddling the road. The private beachfront can be reached from one of the pillars with plenty of umbrellas to keep the visitors shaded.

If patrons aren’t keen on the beach, a nicely landscaped garden gives them somewhere to relax.

Here is a sneak peek showing the hotel in situ in the Bay, with all the other luxury property surrounding it.

In my next video, I will give you a better look at much more of Micropolis, with the last 100 models laid out for you to see, so check back soon for that one.

High Cross – Micropolis Block #199

Friday, 9th October 2020 By Caz

I haven’t built anything for the residential district of Micropolis recently, with my last few models being industrial, offices or leisure based. So this block is called High Cross, which accommodates a total of nine large apartment, one on each floor which is set at right angles to the one below.

Rocco Rise Apartments – Micropolis Block #198

Wednesday, 30th September 2020 By Caz

A while back I got a bulk lot of pieces which contained several hundred of these – part 63082 – which BrickLink snappily calls “Plate, Modified 2 x 2 with Tow Ball Socket, Short, Flattened with Holes and Axle Hole in Center”. Rather long-winded, but I wanted to use them for something and decided another high rise Micropolis block was the way to go.

Bonkle Power Plant – Micropolis Block #197

Wednesday, 23rd September 2020 By Caz

A few weeks ago, the London AFOLs held their virtual meetup for the month on the subject of Bionicle – a discontinued LEGO theme, which was around in two waves between 2000-2010 and again from 2015-2017. This is what I was inspired to build.
