Lego Houses




This is a typical English semi-detatched house, about 100 years old. Judging by the amount of space to the side we can see it's in a more rural location. Very much like my grandparents house for location, however the L shape of each house is more like the ones I grew up in, which was on the edge of town.



This one was intended to be a more modern American house, probably about 30 years old now. Actually, I built this one first, then DW suggested I build the UK homes.


There is a Lego building style called "Micropolis" which is scaled such that a city block is on a 16x16 base, and a car can be made by using a 2x1 "jumper" (plate with single stud) and a 1x1 plate (preferably studless). The American house is a smaller scale than Micropolis, but the UK house would probably be acceptable.


These were quick builds, but unfortunately exhausted my supply of 1x1 slope bricks, so I can't make any more at this scale.
