Microscale City

Hello everyone,

one of my biggest builds so far is this microscale city.


The project started with a few small modular buildings that could be arranged as desired on a base plate.


Around 2018, I wanted to expand this to a large 48x48 baseplate. During construction, however, I decided to leave out the modular aspect, mainly due to my somewhat more limited parts selection at the time. The result was this small city:


After about a year, I started building an extension, replacing the dark gray tiles on the streets of the old half with black ones.


Here are a few close-ups of the old town:

A waterfront promenade with a beach and some stores, including a LEGO store


The city center with a few skyscrapers and a large parking lot


The idea behind this was that there used to be a city wall along the waterfront, and the remaining pieces were integrated into the modern buildings.


And a small villa at the back


But now to the extension. I invested even more time in the individual buildings to provide more variety and detail.


Below this is a small church, for which I had originally planned this church including lighting, but which would not have fitted the scale.


A large hotel


And a few different stores, including a music store...


...a laundry...


...and a car dealer with small cars behind the shop window


Finally, a close-up of the park, with some trees, a large lake and a pavilion.


I also uploaded the whole thing to YouTube back then:
- The original city
- The extension
