My latest project is a Cornish mine house.
The first step was to decide on a scale as certain details demand constraints or compromises due to brick availability. The obvious one is the chimney which should taper, that in Lego is near impossible, and cylinder parts are available in 2, 4, 6 and 8 stud diameter options.
So far i think the size has been decided but I still need to work out how much of the working innards are possible with technic pieces at that scale.
The colour is going to need some work too. ‘Stone’ effect embossed bricks and cylinder pieces cannot be found in the same shade. No doubt it’s going to have to be rebuilt several times before I’m happy - but that’s all part of the fun, eh?
