The Royal Wedding
Regardless of whether you’re one of the people who claim to have had enough of all the Royal Wedding commotion (though I must admit I can’t quite understand how one could fail to love such a beautiful and joyous event) or a Kate-and-William die-hard fan, this one comes as an inspired conclusion to this day.
Princess Kate & Prince William's unique LEGO counterparts
The Beeb has provided us with first-hand pics of this beautiful diorama of the Royal Wedding created by a quartet of Portsmouth-based Brickish members. The intricate replica, featuring a gorgeous model of the Westminster Abbey, will be on display at the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester until 2 May and will go on tour after that, with the icing on the cake here being the unique couple of minifigs representing Princess Kate and Prince William… along with a congregation of nearly 400 minifig guests.
Puppy in a Box
Okay, okay… It’s not Classic Town, or even close for that matter, but how can anyone not like this adorable creation by Marcosbessa? I’ll call it “Puppy in a Box” for lack of a better name, and I don’t think I need to describe it. I will say; however, that creations like this are created in the spirit of what LEGO is all about. The word CREATIVITY comes to mind.
Up the River
Just as with real life, bodies of water always look great in Lego creations. Add some nice green landscaping and vehicles used as part of logging scene, and you’ve got Juliusz’s recent creation, “Up the River“. I wonder if he’s been following Murder on the Emerald Express. Could this be the outskirts of Willoughby? Perhaps not, but it certainly is a fine creation.
Street Scene
Brickshelf member Nexus7 has posted an excellent MOC entitled Street Scene:
Nexus7's Warsaw 35: Street Scene
The title of the BrickShelf gallery hints at this being part of a larger project entitle Warsaw35. However, searching that term on BrickShelf and Flickr yields no results. I look forward to seeing more MOCs like this, especially as part of a larger display. While this MOC utilizes existing techniques from Market Street and the Indiana Jones truck, there are several unique techniques like the subway stairwells and the hanging gables.

European City Life
Lego town builder Tacvud has created a most impressive European City Diorama. Check out the train tunnel running under the chateau on the hill. With the addition of a classic-style train, as well the new Emerald Express, this wonderful scene in quite deserving of a blog in Classic Town.
City Diorama
Lego town fan Legofreak13 shares pictures of his Wonderful City on Brickshelf. This nicely detailed display blends official modular sets with custom buildings and trees, a construction site, and even a railway with a Sante Fe Super Chief.
Desktop Mini Sculpture
Expert Lego builder Edulyoung creates a very stunning Desktop Sculpture of the N-Seoul Tower in South Korea. I love the vivid colors he selected as well as the unique pieces used in the mini structure.
Smart Home Exhibit
Eurobricks administrator Hinckley (and excellent Town builder) creates a wonderful Display as part of the Chicago’s Museum of Science and Industry Smart Home exhibit. Complete with all the details of the actual “Green House”, Hinckley’s display will certainly have many Lego fans appreciating the work that went into this fabulous creation.
