Recently, I was rummaging around my parts collection and came across two black plates – part 2401 – which Bricklink calls Plate, Modified 10 x 10 without Corner. I thought I could use them as the top and bottom of a new Micropolis model. Krikand Corner is a block of apartments, which will look very nice in the residential area of Micropolis.
Dewlucks Estate – Micropolis Block #173
This is the Dewlucks Estate, a new development of social housing for the residential area of Micropolis.
Turntable Towers – Micropolis Block #145
My local LEGO Stores have had the 2×2 white turntable bases in their Pick A Brick walls for ages. I grab big handfulls every time I go, which means I have hundreds of the things. I have used them in the past for aircon vents and roof detailing, but this time I wondered if I could make them a feature of the cladding for a building. I chose a contrasting blue plate to go underneath, and interspersed them with 1×2 trans dark blue tiles for windows, and Turntable Towers was born.
Limehouse Flats – Micropolis Block #59
This LEGO Micropolis block, called Limehouse Flats, was completed back in February but it has been on display for a while at one of my local LEGO stores, in the Community Showcase, so it didn’t get filmed until recently.
Spring Heights – Micropolis Block #37
This is the first quarter of the block which makes up Four Seasons Plaza. It is a development of social housing called Spring Heights, and is based around a spring-themed colours scheme of green headlight bricks for the windows, lime bricks for the walls, white floors and orange accents.
