My LEGO®-related Rambles
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.

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.

In this video, I show you how I built a new LEGO Micropolis block from start to finish. I had the original idea for the design from Micropolis Tutorial #4 and decided to use the pattern to build a real block, which I finish off with roof details and landscaping accents.
