Virtual Builds

These are some virtual Micropolis modules I have put together with LEGO Digital Designer. I’m not sure if or when they will all get built!

Virtual Micropolis: Lever Court

Virtual Micropolis: Lever Court

Tuesday, 5th December 2017

A few days ago I was noodling around with my 3D sketch for this build, but I decided to use LDD to flesh it out a bit more. It’s now so far from the original model in Tom Alphin’s book that I feel justified in calling it a MOC. I have expanded the 3D sketch even further, ...

Virtual Micropolis: Octo Mansions

Virtual Micropolis: Octo Mansions

Tuesday, 21st November 2017

I fired up LDD after making the 3D sketch for this idea, no running out of bricks that way! I kept building until I arrived at a height I liked, which just happened to be 8 floors – so it became Octo Mansions. A companion block slanting the other way, and some landscaping on the Micropolis ...

Virtual Micropolis: Four Square

Virtual Micropolis: Four Square

Monday, 20th November 2017

Having played about with a 3D sketch of each house, I changed over to the virtual world of LDD to see how I could add them to my Micropolis layout. I realised that making each into a small detached dwelling meant I could fit a group of four onto a quarter-block baseplate: I wanted to give ...

Virtual MOC: Marina Point

Virtual MOC: Marina Point

Friday, 17th November 2017

I had another idea for more waterfront property – this time a 3-storey cantilevered structure jutting out into the marina itself – called Marina Point. It’s an exclusive development, influenced by nautical themes, which only the super-rich can afford – but does come with its own moorings for the largest of yachts. There is even some parking ...

Virtual MOC: Waterfront Wharf

Virtual MOC: Waterfront Wharf

Thursday, 16th November 2017

Having built three luxury apartments for my virtual Micropolis, I decided it needed a bit of scene-setting. So I started designing Waterfront Wharf And Harbour which would look perfect in front of the high rises behind. I deviated slightly from the Micropolis Standard, by lowering the level of the water to just one plate above the ...

Virtual MOC: Rainbow Tower

Virtual MOC: Rainbow Tower

Wednesday, 15th November 2017

I had great fun designing this colourful building, and hoped to be able to purchase the bricks to build it soon, as I really wanted to see it in reality. I liked the SNOT work which made each of the side panels fit onto the main structure, and thought it would make a great addition ...

Virtual MOC: Crystal Condo

Virtual MOC: Crystal Condo

Saturday, 11th November 2017

Shortly after completing the design for Alexa Apartments, I set about planning another luxury accommodation block for my virtual Micropolis. I came up with this creation, Crystal Condo. It features an enormous glass penthouse suite and helipad on the roof. The poor old ‘copter’s rotor blades have fallen off, as I was going mad in LDD ...

Virtual MOC: Alexa Apartments

Virtual MOC: Alexa Apartments

Thursday, 9th November 2017

Having had a little success in building my first Micropolis module out of real bricks, I turned to virtual reality to see where my imagination could take me. I’ve only just started using Lego Digital Designer. I know there are other tools out there which can do more, but the learning curve for LDD was ...
