| Name of Model: The Stadoerfla station | | Created by: unknown | | Found at: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=225585 | Details:
 This gorgeous layout was found at a German LEGO fan event this past January. That's really all I have for concrete info on this, but this is enough of a great model to feature anyway. There are just so many little details here - have a look at those architectural details, and the plants outside - and yet this is at regular minifig-scale. Some of those details were done using massive amounts of fairly obscure parts. In this picture, for example, you can see dozens of studs-not-on-top effects lined up with little turntable bases on them. That round-center tile thing you see there is really just a very large amount of dismantled turntable parts. Just gathering up enough of those parts and separating the tops from the bottoms must have taken months. Of course, that's before we get into the great uses of slopes here, and the colors! Oh, the colors...they're really shocking: note the dozens of sand red minifig legs used as an architectural feature! ...and there's not even a minifig out of place! This is a true masterpiece. |

Here's a nifty little sub and base for the AQUAZONE theme. It's done with some slight modifications to the Aquanauts/2007 Aquaraiders color scheme, but that makes the large cockpit of the sub possible. Much like some of the official sets in this theme, the station has a dock for the sub. My favorite part of this one is the bizarre angling they used to accent the cockpit of the sub.
