How Emmet fits a 50-stud-wide apartment into a 30-stud-wide building:Ī variation on Emmet's apartment (green with a slanted roof)Īn example of the reuse of building parts The latest WIP of Emmet's Mech (with BlackStar): After having created a couple of the buildings in LDD, I ran across the post for Bluerender and used it to generate photo-real renderings. Knowing how much time, money, and physical space it would take to build these out of real bricks, I decided to try my hand at LEGO Digital Designer (LDD). I thought it would be interesting to do a project that compared the original LEGO sets to the modified movie versions. While researching, I realized a great deal of what was in the movie was based on previously-existing sets. It should include 4 pcs of brick# 92593 (Plate 1x4 with two studs), white.Edited to put all final images in the first post.Īfter seeing the LEGO movie, I wanted to re-create buildings from Emmet's neighborhood. Please feel free to comment & like, but most importantly: Have fun! :) Change Log: 28nov19: - added Nameplate design to the package 10nov19: - Updated Instructions Package with corrected XML Parts List: If you downloaded the instructions package before 1, please double-check your parts list. Additional pictures can be found on my Flickr page. I hope you enjoy this model as much as I do. Graphics for the Nameplate sticker are also included. The instructions call out specific colors for all parts, chosen by piece cost and availability, as well as to minimize lot count for an easier part sourcing process. Building Instructions: The Instructions for this model come as a 50-page PDF manual with a Bricklink XML parts list. The parts list still calls out which internal elements may be replaced with an arbitrary color. All pieces are from the current pallet and can also be ordered directly via Lego's Bricks & Pieces Store (last checked in Oct-2019). Inventory: Rare and/or expensive pieces have been completely eliminated in this model. After some tries, i decided to model the different levels in color (the rotary doors, beam and glass) behind a clear glass mosaic that would again emphasize the Art Deco-style of the building. When I had the chance to visit New York a few years ago, the entrances with the oversized marble arch and the iluminated glass framework was a sight to remember, and I wanted to capture this in some form in this model as well. A highlight that came relatively late in the design is the glass mosaic at the main entrances. On the ground level, the black and transparent-black elements resemble the different shops to be found around the building. There is also a stylized version of the famous gargoyles on the mid- and top-level corners. In this case the appearance is broken up with the four columns of 1x1 white and light bluish gray plates that run through almost entirely from top to bottom. Contrary to the Empire State Building with its rather homogenous facade, the Chrysler Building incorporates different patterns, contrasting colors and even automotive motifs in its facade, which results in a more differentiated look. General Information: Piece Count: 810 pcs Size (appx.): 10x10x32cm Piece Cost: ~$60 (Oct-2019) Features: The iconic top marked the starting point for this design and was an interesting challenge at that scale, but in the end I think it turned out great, as it features both a steady slope and the characteristic leveled arches. for inspiring this build with his minimalistic rendition of the Chrysler Building, and also to Jussi Koskinen for his awesome Empire State Building that set the scale for my model to go with. Despite its lesser fame when compared to the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building is a prime example of the Art Deco-style and has been my favorite skyscraper for a long time. This is a mid-sized recreation of the Chrysler Building from New York City in Lego.
