Lego Creator Cinema

Now, I haven't written that many posts this year. In fact, I've only done two. In 2013, I managed 37. Even though I have started at high school, I want my new year's resolution to be making more Blog posts for you to enjoy.

Today, I am going to show you one AMAZING Christmas present. This must be one of my favourite Lego sets; the Lego cinema. My parents got this for me and it took my about six hours straight to build. In addition, it has a whopping 2194 pieces and stickers. If I'm correct, it is the 2nd largest Lego set I have built (the death star sitting first with over 3000 pieces!).

This appearance of this is so magnificent and grand and I really appreciate the people who designed it, every detail being shown. I feel very fortunate to have this as I know it does cost quite a bit of money. However, most Lego Creator sets do as they are so stunning and it is very precise. I'm just amazed you can build something so cool from tiny bricks.

As you can see, on the picture on the right we have a, almost limousine-like-car, some posters of the movies on the left side, heavy doors, spotlights and an old-styled look about it.


There are three floors to it: the ground floor where you buy tickets and confectionery, the second floor where the movies happen and the third floor is open to the air and is pretty bland. Now, I'm going to show some pictures of it. Be prepared to see some amazing detail!



 Above: A spotlight (of which there are two).
 Left: A closer look at the heavy, thick pair of doors.











Left: A cool sticker advertising the next movie 'Three clicks and a snap' starring Minnie Figure. I also like the gold lights around it. It makes it stand out quite a bit.









 Left: The look of the first floor on the right hand side with the other spotlight, a lamppost and a pair of windows showing the counter. There are also two arcs and an amazing pillar in the centre.
 Left: The overview of the third floor. It almost has a Chinese sort of feel to it which I liked.
Left: Like I said, the third floor is pretty bland although it should be shouldn't it? The most noticeable feature is the door set at a 90 degree angle.



 Left: The overview of the second floor which is quite detailed with lots of windows showing the cinema inside.
 Left: I absolutely love this camera! The style of it is really cool and I thought it was a really clever design. In the background you can also see some seats for people to watch the film.
Left: Two characters almost addressing the audience although I did put them in a random spot!
 Left: This is the film in progress which makes it feel more like an old cinema however, I do like the curtains around it.
 Left: This is just another overview of inside where you can also see the steps leading to the third floor.
 Left: So, this is on the first floor or ground floor, where there is some sweets to buy, a popcorn machine and a drinks dispenser.
 Left: I really like the look of these stairs as they are incredibly complex (I know this because I built it) and detailed.
Left: So ,this is the counter where I assume people buy tickets or pay for additional components like confectionery.
 Left: This is the overview of the first floor which is the most detailed overview as there is so much going on.










Left: Now, you may be wondering why I showed the back of it though I have showed it because it shows that even at the back, it has details of worn away bricks and different layers.












Thank you for reading about this. Remember to like and comment!

Fairground ride

Today, I'll be showing a carousel which I made myself. I really like it the way it came out.It took me about 3-4 hours and my back was getting so achy! I hope you like the carousel too.


 What!? A robot is controlling the carousel!
Yep, it's controlled by C3PO. Not only that but it's the new C3PO which I love so much. The detail is so intricate on him. Anyway, C3PO is in charge of the speed of the horses (by the way there's an option to go to 50mph and there are no seatbelt : P ). So at the moment, the lives of 3 children lye in the hands of him. The little pod he's in is really cool though and, just in case, he has a rifle to shoot anyone who tries to hurt him.






At the very top of the carousel, there are 4 statues used for decorative purposes. One of them is a knight with a blunt sword. Next to him is the star wars Darth Sidious' personal guards. They look so cool so I had to put him up there. Next to him is Chewbacca, the new version. Finally, there is a Geonosian bug thing from star wars.









And then, there were the pedestrians.
