Here, you’ll find the Pharmacie, Boulangerie, Café Opera, and the private entrance to the upper floors of the building. Bustling with tourists, merchants and locals, the ground floor is the most active. This is the second version of this model I have submitted on Lego Ideas. This three story building has removable layers to show off each room inside. The Parisian Corner is a L-shaped building that contains a cooking school, art studio, dance school, Café Opéra, pharmacy (pharmacie), and a bakery (boulangerie). This building includes all the best features of the buildings I saw including the typical gray-colored slanted roofs, gabled-windows, vibrant red colors, green plants on balconies, ornamental masonry, and blue-colored flowers with vines weaving in and out of wrought-iron railings. So, I’m trying again with this one at 2,821 pieces on a 32x32 baseplate. The original model (Parisian Corner XL) exceeded the 3,000 piece limit for LegoIdeas. The Parisian Corner was inspired by my recent trip to Paris. Please support my project on Lego Ideas: To get more detail information on the Mid-Autumn Festival and their characters, some Wikipedia links are mentioned here: Notice the Lego Moon Cakes some of them are carrying. It looks like a few have made it to their BBQ! This Lego set contains a family of six minifigs: Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa, Son and Daughter who are all enjoying the holiday and barbecuing their favorite dishes. Let’s not forget the Moon Rabbits (月兔 ) who accompany Chang ‘e to the moon. All the while, being watched by Chang ‘e on the moon as it moves through the sky. In this Lego set, we have a family enjoying their BBQ and moon cakes. In modern times during this lunar appreciation or moon watching, families would get together in their neighborhoods and have barbecue cook-outs. Everyone was grateful to him for saving their crops from the heat of ten suns. The husband of Chang ‘e and hero: Hou Yi (后羿) is also celebrated because of his use of a bow and arrow to shoot-down nine of the ten suns leaving only one in the sky. Their round shape symbolizes completeness and reunion of families. Making and sharing mooncakes is one of the hallmark traditions of this festival. Among the offerings to her were moon cakes. Offerings are made to a well-known Chang ‘e ( 嫦娥 ), known as the Moon Goddess of Immortality. When the full moon shines brightest in late September, people give thanks for the current harvest and have family get-togethers. The Mid-Autumn Festival (中秋節), also called the Moon Festival or Harvest Moon Festival, is one of the most celebrated holidays in Asia. Another added bonus is the Danish Pastry vendor that sells tasty treats to the tourists. At night this building lights up with official Lego LED lights. It’s a perfect play set for kids that want to move minifigs inside and out of the church and up the spiral staircase to the gallery. The entrance hall is removable along with a exterior wall that opens on a hinge. This Lego set has a removable steeple to access the inside of the church. The church’s organ is quite unique with it’s Y-shape and tall pipes. During the 16th century, a number of buttresses were added to support the outer wall. The round shape of the church ensures aiming at all angles. The top story has a notable open shooting gallery as indicated by the holes. This building was used as a refuge site for Christians and is one of a few of Europe’s oldest fortified churches. Built around 1160, this Romanesque church is a rundkirke (round church) and is known to be the oldest on the island. It is a historic building located near the village of Østerlars on the island of Bornholm, Denmark. My latest MOC of the Lego Østerlars Rundkirke was quite a challenge. Please support The Japanese Restaurant on LegoIdeas: #lego It also contains Lego-brand LED lights that shine from the roof all the way to the first floor though a interior light shaft. And of course, Japanese are famous for their cats… So this MOC has one! This building is a great play set for kids because it comes with many minifigures and comes apart in three sections: first floor, second floor and roof. Outside in the side alley there is a typical colorful drink vending machine that you see everywhere in Japan. To order Ramen, Sushi or other dishes, they provide a ticket machine called a Otsuri. Once inside, the patrons can choose between eating upstairs or downstairs. Elements of architecture and elegance include Japanese style-windows, lanterns, tile roof, cherry tree, bamboo, and a wood bridge over a pond that spans the front of the building. The Japanese Restaurant was inspired by my trip to Kyoto, Japan in 2018.
