Wednesday, July 21st, 2010Gotham Central Bank
Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010Keeping with the bank theme, Eurobricks user Righteous Squid has recently posted his Gotham Central Bank in the LEGO Licensed forums. What grabbed my eye here was the playability that he has incorporated into this MOC. It has the open-back ‘Classic Town’ feel to it and offers a lot of options when it comes to playing with the creation.
The gothic exterior is pretty well done with some nice greeble details on the towers, but where it really shines is in the interior details. The teller windows are nicely done and the movable vault door is a great idea. And of course the two Star Wars kids fighting on the front steps is priceless. Head on over to Eurobricks and let Righteous Squid know what you think about his latest creation.

Thursday, October 1st, 2009Here’s an interesting technique shared by MOCpages member Wes Pitter. The creation is Wes’s rendition of a scene from Back to the Future. Interestingly, you’ll notice that the roadplates are turned face-down. The look works well in his nicely designed town.

Széchenyi Lánchíd
Sunday, July 5th, 2009The Széchenyi lánchíd or Széchenyi Chain Bridge opened in 1849 and was designed by the English Engineer William Teirney Clark. The bridge is a larger version of the Marlow Bridge in Marlow, England and is named after it’s financier, Count István Széchenyi. The bridge was built to connect the eastern and western sides of Budapest, the capital city of Hungary and was the first permanent bridge in Budapest.
