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.

Brunswick Gardens – Micropolis Block #170

Monday, 17th February 2020 By Caz

I often joke that I store my loose LEGO parts as Micropolis blocks, and this new model, Brunswick Gardens, is a prime example of why. A while ago I acquired several hundered of the Plate, Modified 1 x 2 with Towball and Small Towball Socket on Ends – part 14419 – first used in the Mixels lineup in 2014. I had been wondering what to do with them (and where to keep them) and finally thought I would have a play and see what I could come up with.

Surfers’ Point – Micropolis Block #135

Monday, 15th July 2019 By Caz

I’ve been meaning to expand the watery areas of my Micropolis for some time, and have recently picked up some blue plates to make a start. This first section is Surfers’ Point, an exclusive area of the coast where well to do surfers can hire an expensive but tiny beachside house for a few days, complete with a private beach. At the end, is a small cafe providing snacks to other beach users on a sunny day. A little dinghy is out on the water, making the most of the lovely weather. Expect more watery updates soon!

Hexagon Heights – Micropolis Block #129

Monday, 17th June 2019 By Caz

Hexagon Heights was conceived when a consignment of a dozen more nexogons arrived from Bricklink. For those not familiar with them, Nexogon the colloquial name for “Plate, Modified 6 x 6 Hexagonal with Pin Hole”, part 27255.

Grand Imperial Hotel – Micropolis Block #124

Monday, 3rd June 2019 By Caz

This is the Grand Imperial Hotel, a much-loved landmark in Micropolis. The ground floor houses a gourmet restaurant and brasserie as well as the hotel reception and a stylish bar. The rooms are modest in size but luxurious in appointment, and there is always a long waiting list for bookings.

Vacation Villas – Micropolis Block #122

Wednesday, 22nd May 2019 By Caz

I seem to have been collecting a few 3×3 and 4×4 quarter round or rounded edged plates in various colours, so I thought it was about time to use them in a Micropolis build. They suggested balconies to me, so I put together this block of Art-Deco inspired Vacation Villas.
