The Empire State Building, looks good!
" With my Lego Architecture range getting bigger, I am determined to own them all! I am a mad fan of Architecture and to me, this is a great hobby.
The Empire State Building is my 8th model I have constructed and although it was probably the shortest build time, the building looks very much in tune with the real thing. Not a particularly large model or many bricks for the price but hey, this is Lego and it comes in a great box with a fantastic booklet containing the facts of the building and the build instructions.
Love it! "

Great Brandenburg Gate!
" Continuing with my collection of Lego Architecture Models, this is model number 7 in my growing numbers of buildings!
Brandenburg Gate was easier than some of the previous models, however, clever use of many tiny pieces were hard on the ageing fingers!
Loved the way it went together, taking just under an hour in between 'slurps' of strong coffee!
As usual, Lego have produced a stunning booklet on the history of the Brandenburg gate as well as comprehensive build instructions. All in the usual glossy box.
Have to say, Lego and their designers come up with yet another fantastic product. Absolutely loving the Architecture range!
Roll on to my next project, The Burj Khalifa. "

French Wonder ... The Eiffel Tower
" This is the 6th model I have constructed from the Lego Architecture range.
Sits on the usual base with striking black edging with the lovely choice of English or French worded nameplate.
What I particularly loved about this one was the superb design, so cleverly put together. Probably one of my favourite models to build as the way it takes shape during construction really leaves you in awe when completed.
Looks fantastic with the rest of my completed Architecture range. "

Sydney Opera House delight!
" This is my 5th Model of the fantastic Lego Architecture range.
Lets say I wasn't disappointed! As usual, the base has the striking shiny black edging with name plate. This took about an hour to build and was a little tricky in constructing the shell shaped roof pieces and clipping them onto the main building. The finished article, although smaller than anticipated looks great. Sat neatly with the rest of my Architecture range slowly growing in size. On to my next project, The Eiffel Tower! "

Awesome Fallingwater.
" Fallingwater is my 4th Lego model from the Architecture range.
It took just over 3 hours to build and the detail is outstanding. I particularly love Frank Lloyd Wright architecture so this was right up my street. The attention to detail on the waterfall and surrounding landscape are very impressive.
I love the way this model builds up starting with water, landscape and the house foundation then allowing the balconies to 'slot' together. Very cleverly deigned and the Lego designer Adam Reed Tucker really has got Fallingwater spot on!
Certainly my favourite model so far and looking forward to the next project, the Sydney Opera House.
Absolutely recommended , well done Lego! "

Beautiful Imperial Hotel design
" My addiction to the Lego Architecture range continues... The Imperial Hotel is the 3rd Model (after White House and Big Ben). This time, I decided to go big and see what Lego really had to offer me.
I can assure you, I wasn't disappointed! Took a couple of mornings to build and as ever, the attention to detail is staggering!
Again, the quality of the box and manual are the usual great stuff from Lego, A lot of pages to show the step-by-step guide on building it.
Huge detail throughout, especially building all the window sections which has a large number of tiny pieces to make the overall effect look stunning.
An absolute work of art and by far the best Lego Architecture set I have built so far, you wont be disappointed!
Next purchase, Robie House, I am determined to own the full range by the end of the year as I love it!

Big Ben masterclass!
" This is the second model I have purchased in the Lego Architecture range after being blown away by the White House set, I couldn't wait to get stuck into this one.
As usual, the quality speaks for itself, the box and manual are superb as you would expect from Lego.
The detail in Big Ben is brilliant, didn't take long to put together and looks great alongside my (to be) growing Architecture range of models.
I am a mad fan of Architecture and love the way Lego have produced a fantastic range for me to get my hands on!
On to the next one .... Imperial Hotel!

Fantastic piece of Architecture
" This is the 1st model of the Lego Architecture range I have purchased. I am mad on buildings and Architecture in real life, however, being a lifetime Lego fan, this is right up my street.
The packaging and Instruction fact booklet are superb. Everything about this product is the great quality you would expect from Lego.
I took around 3 hours building this model, this might seem a long time with 561 pieces but took my time to read the great booklet about the history of the White House and simply admiring the attention to detail building it.
This building has incredible detail and simply looks fantastic when built. I love it!
This model has spurned me on to asking for the rest of the Architecture range as presents in the future.
I will be keeping the range in pristine condition to build over and over again, in the future, this range will certainly increase in value especially in its box and inner packets.
Superb! "
