| Name of Model: Samford Hall mosaic |
| Created by: Eric Harshbarger |
| Found at: http://www.ericharshbarger.org/lego/samford_hall.html |
Details:  The clock tower of Samford Hall was created by LEGO sculptor Eric Harshbarger for an arts auction in 2003. There's not too much to say about this one - it's a standard studs-out (when you look at it, the LEGO logo on top of the pieces is facing you, and the bottom of each piece is touching a baseplate) mosaic made out of plates (the elements one-third the height of LEGO bricks). More at the links above. |

| Name of Model: University of Tokyo Clock Tower | | Created by: University of Tokyo LEGO Club | | Found at: http://blog.goo.ne.jp/tbinterface/58817c6c6e8a0cd8effd3be607e3f1b1/56 | Details:
 Everybody loves a decent model of a landmark, and this is no slouch on that front. Check out the sculpted rough, angled sides, and careful drafts when you're done grasping the size of this thing. Some details (writing and photos) are provided, assuming that you can read Japanese. The only "flaw" you could cite here is that they opted for support beams instead of a full interior. No biggie - and those beautiful roofs may have needed those supports anyway. More pictures are available at the "created by" link above, including some of the model as it was being built. | | This belated Sunday post is brought to you by the Brothers Brick |
