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!

Taking Micropolis to shows is always fun. I have to start by packing the models into plastic boxes which are all carefully labelled and then stacked into the boot of my car until I am in danger of not being able to see over the top of the pile…

This year I took the largest display I have ever attempted – which measured six feet by five feet and coevered the equivalent of just over 42 regular LEGO baseplates. Here is a time lapse of the setup:
