Pinkerton Estate – Micropolis #210

Monday, 26th April 2021 By Caz

This imposing structure is the Pinkerton Estate, a development of social housing which comprises two linear stepped blocks elevated on pillars above carefully manicured gardens.

Its vibrant coral colour marks it out as a distrinctive landmark within the residential district of town. The Micropolis inhabitants report that the development is a very pleasant place to live.

Krikand Corner – Micropolis Block #180

Monday, 13th April 2020 By Caz

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.

Turntable Towers – Micropolis Block #145

Wednesday, 21st August 2019 By Caz

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

Monday, 19th November 2018 By Caz

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

Friday, 12th October 2018 By Caz

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.
