Just For Fun.

I don't know why, but I had the urge to build something scaled up to Deskpal size '4x'. I had a go at a section of The Week-end House 6370. Unfortunately my camera flash is a bit bright and you can't see the detail on the door. I don't really intend to keep this model, but it might be cool to finish it - or build something smaller like the blue Post Office 6689 - or CAFE CORNER 10182 - Droooooool (The door is the same design after all).

LEGO Builder's Guide Book

If you want to start building to scale, but are unsure where to start you could do worse than to pick up a copy of the 'Unofficial LEGO Builder's Guide' by Allan Bedford (No Starch Press)

It has an entire chapter related to the building of larger scale bricks including the topics; 'How It's Done', 'What Scales Work and Why' and 'Approximation'. It has step-by-step examples of how to build a few simple bricks and covers 4:1 to 12:1 scales.

You can buy it online at Amazon;

or I noticed it is now available to purchase in the Legoland Parks themselves.

The rest of the book is excellent too and I learnt a lot of good techniques. I also has a wonderful 'Brickopedia' about what parts are avilable and when they were introduced.
