This half-timbered beauty is more than the sum of its parts

What constitutes “a lot of bricks” these days? When you see a sprawling diorama from a LEGO expo or a giant new display set, it’s clear you’re staring at “a lot of bricks.” But size can be deceiving when it comes to the number of elements. Take this incredible model from Satnis Creations.  It’s a Tudor-style street scene less than half the size of a LEGO Modular, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there were close to 10,000 bricks involved. The roof alone has roughly a thousand blue tiles, the walls are packed with 1×1 tiles and cheese slopes, and of course, that sidewalk.  Using small parts lets Satnis create stunning detail with maximum precision, like the half-plate offset window frames and intricate half-timbering effects. Excellent period-appropriate minifigs bring the scene to life.
