LEGO® Story # 21 Chinese version: 經過多個月既努力，儲左幾十年既舊SET終於都可以以城市形態再一次重現眼前。 數數手指對上一次砌個LEGO® town出黎已經係26年前中學時代了。砌呢個城最大嘅挑戰係點樣利用有限嘅空間而有效地display到最多嘅set出嚟，而出到嚟又唔會有迫夾嘅感覺。雖然實際動工砌前已經用digital方法 plan 咗layout但係砌到出嚟睇又係另一回事，所以其實layout更動都改咗三次。而且display出嚟更加要顧及觀賞/影相角度要有層次感盡量要收埋建築物嘅背面同唔好重疊建築物。（避免前高樓遮住後矮樓）基於土地問題關係我經過嚴選後已經放棄左好多set show唔到出黎只能display到1/3既vintage set左右，所以重複的建築物如消防局LEGO®總出過四間咁只能活一間了!有部分車仔我想放但係唔夠路面。希望不久既將來可以再砌大D令到個城更加豐富啦。 其實我作為一個玩LEGO®數十載嘅fans可以喺香港呢個彈丸之地砌到呢個能夠媲美外國規模嘅城市，真的滿足了！謝謝觀賞尺寸：366cm X 228cm 32×32底板數: 15×8塊盒裝使用數量：150盒以上最舊既set: 376 House with Garden (1978)最新既set: 10219 Maersk train（2011)最細既set: 6606 Road Repair Set (1983)最大既set: 6399-Airport Shuttle (1990) English version: A Nostalgic Journey: Building a Classic LEGO® Town After a few months of hard work, I finally finished building … Continue reading 我的複古樂高小鎮 →
