Hartshaped House – Micropolis #214

Friday, 21st May 2021 By Caz

A while ago I got a couple of copies the DOTS Jewellery Stand set 41905 which were going cheap. This gave me four of the distinctive 9×9 white heart-shaped plates (part 65486) which I decided to use as the floor plan of a new office block for Micropolis.

I also had lots of transpareent 1×1 light blue bricks, so these were the immediate window choice. I then found some bright light yellow bricks to complement the windows and used a staggered pattern across each floor to build up the height.

It is called Hartshaped House and is the Headquarters for a clothing company, Hartshaped Fashion.

The Empty Bottle – Micropolis #208

Monday, 12th April 2021 By Caz

The Micropolis Planning Department appear to have been receiving some more backhanders to approve the construction of yet another ridiculous structure. This time it’s the headquarters of one of the biggest wine importers in Micropolis.

Intevitably, the building has been given the nickname of The Empty Bottle by the residents of Micropolis, who love to take the mickey out of the weirder shaped structures in the city.

Sky Blue Place – Micropolis Block #194

Friday, 14th August 2020 By Caz

My latest Micropolis model is called Sky Blue Place, and is the office of a firm of consultants who have a reputation for blue sky thinking. They are obviously doing well as this five storey block is located downtown among some prime real estate.

Juno Court – Micropolis Block #193

Monday, 3rd August 2020 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 – Micropolis Block #192

Friday, 24th July 2020 By Caz

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.

Rainbow Twist – Micropolis Block #189

Friday, 3rd July 2020 By Caz

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.
