Haul #5: Christmas Pressies

Monday, 25th December 2017 By Caz

It’s been years since I got any LEGO for Christmas, but this is the first Festive season since I emerged from my Dark Ages – and I was very lucky with what Santa brought me this year. It’s cheered me up since I’m feeling rather ill at the moment. I will enjoy building them and it should take my mind of my lurgy.

Pictured are three Architecture sets – New York Skyline (21028), US Capitol Building (21030) and Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum (21035). Plus Simple & Powered Machines (9686) and another copy of the Catwoman Catcycle Chase (70902), which came as a freebie from Amazon I believe. The machines set will hopefully be useful for building some GBC modules, along with all the Technic bits I have in the Bucket Wheel Excavator. The show I will be exhibiting at is in mid-January, so I need to pull my finger out and build something for it!

Architecture: London Skyline (21034)

Wednesday, 20th December 2017 By Caz

My second Architecture Skyline set is the London Skyline (21034), topical as it’s my nearest city which has been immortalised in LEGO this way.

It is quite a bit deeper than the Berlin set I already have, mainly to accommodate somewhere for the London Eye to sit behind Big Ben and Tower Bridge. There were some interesting building techniques, and I think it represents the essence of London pretty well.

Architecture: Berlin Skyline (21027)

Friday, 27th October 2017 By Caz

Today I attended an conference in the centre of Manchester. I arrived quite early before registration, so decided to go for a little wander around the streets. Soon enough, I found myself inside the LEGO shop in the Arndale Centre – how did that happen? 😉

I had a good look around and treated myself to a set from the lovely LEGO Architecture range – and chose the Berlin Skyline as I had visited the city a couple of times and really loved the architecture I saw there.

It was a very pleasurable build and started me thinking about small scale architecture – I must go and do some digging around to find out more.
