Upping the complexity and looking into jobs at Lego

Over the past little while I have decided to try my luck with modelling some slightly more complicated models. Here are the results:

This one is loosely based on a real house around my neighbourhood. 

This one is more faithfully based on one in my local neighbourhood. 

The model above is based on the townhouse to the right in this image. 

I made this one up off the top of my head. 

Split over three levels, because that is fun to model. 

The two latter models feature stepping blocks of land. Both were quite interesting to model, because having just a small step down changes the dynamics of the internal space. All of these houses are quite generously proportioned. The townhouse is probably my favourite; it is quite clever in its' design internally.

Along the same lines, I also modelled my grandparent's house:

It's quite a big house!

I used plates instead of profile bricks for the weatherboards on this house. I think they look rather clunky when you compare them with the profile bricks used on the models early. 

I also had a bit of fun with a house built around a tree. It's a nice simple model this one, I quite like it. One day I might purchase a version of it. That will be a while away though, I think.

I have also, FINALLY uploaded my CV to the Lego website today. I have no chance of getting a job at the moment, but at least it has been uploaded! I decided to use AutoCAD to draw up 'architectural' views of my buildings. It was quite time consuming, but also quite therapeutic. Here are some examples of what I have done.

Ground Floor, Modular Terrace

First Floor, Modular Terrace

Second Floor, Modular Terrace

Front Elevation, Modular Terrace

Ground Floor, Modernist Residence

Front Elevation, Modernist Residence

Side Elevation, Modernist Residence 

  I think that is all I have done for a while. I'm still designing, as often as I get an opportunity to :)

Happy Building.
