My LEGO®-related Rambles
By Caz
This is a new office building for downtown Micropolis, called Juno Court.
The building was inspired by the arrival of a large number of 1×2 trans black bricks from a Bricklink order, along with plenty of 1×1 bricks with a stud on the side in sand green and some large tan plates from my own collection.

Draco House is another office for the Downtown area of Micropolis. It has a simple construction with SNOT bricks inside, holding two 4×6 black plates vertically on each side. The corner gaps are filled in with 1×1 round bricks to give the impression of impressive pillars which hold up the roof.

The structural shape of this model was heavily influenced by a Micropolis block called Sunrise Tower by well known builder Little Brick Root, although I have built it on a smaller scale and with more colours. It makes a bright and airy landmark for the workers of the Downtown zone, which they have nicknamed the Rainbow Twist.

In the past I have used some unusual LEGO parts to represent girders in Microscale. Most recently it was the Belville lattice pieces, but I’ve also used Znap to convey the idea of structural elements in front of a glass wall. In this build I was fiddling about with the basic design and decided the large glass panels needed something else in front of them – and I hit upon the idea of using two different shapes of Glasses used for BrickHeadz – mostly from the Go Brick Me set, 41597. This is the office building of the largest firm of Opticians in Micropolis. Their HQ is called the Maison des Lunettes.

I have used some of these large Belville lattice pieces before (see one of my very early videos, Belville Place. But I recently acquired some more in magenta, and decided this time I would use them as girders surrounding a glass skyscraper. So I present Dorsal Heights, the swanky new offices of Magenta Fish Software, an up and comping company who now have their HQ in downtown Micropolis.

I recently acquired a handful of these wonderful printed 1x2x5 bricks with the dark red and silver Scorpion pattern, and wanted to use them in a Micropolis build. It didn’t take long to come together, sticking to this dark and menacing colour palette. Some modest landscaping in sand green completed the look. And so Scorpion Finance was born.
