(LDraw) Bluebonnet Station

[SavaTheAggie]

Those of you who follow me on Flickr have more than likely already seen this. A few weeks ago I decided to create a station to use up spare medium blue 1x2 plates I picked up off the LEGO Store Pick A Brick wall. What started out being an idea of using up scrap parts became a very involved, relatively detailed build I'm a bit proud of.

There's a few bits that need ironing out, a few places where some parts overlap that shouldn't, but nothing that I can't fix in real bricks.

So here she is: Bluebonnet Station:

And here's the other side (from a slightly earlier version)

The next step will be getting all the other parts collected (including more medium blue 1x2s )

I love it! One of the things that I think the modular Lego city theme needs is a train station, and yours would be outstanding.

I have now finished it in real Bricks, with some changes to the original design.

This looks amazing Tony. I love the texture you got out of all 1x2 plates. Is it me, or did you give the plates a little bit of a twist when you stacked them together? It gives a really nice effect, with the leading edges of each plate standing out, but would have been really intense to build.

Hmm, CCC entry?

Beautiful build! The blue and white colorscheme is quite pretty, and as Bruce said, the plate stacking makes for a nice texture

I really like using the lego die for the four sided clock.

Thanks all, I appreciate it. The twist in the plates actually happened a bit naturally, and I didn't bother correcting it cause I liked the look. To be honest its easier to let the twist happen than try to make sure there isn't one.

I think this one would bend the "MISC" a bit much, wouldn't you say Bruce?
