LEGO Panel Building Diorama
A large panel system building, typical of Eastern Bloc countries. The diorama features the titular building, along with an Ikarus bus, and a Trabant in one of its default colors.
I'm trying out a new thing, Studio lets you render a rotating video. Click for more info.
This building type is also knows as "panelház" in Hungarian, "Plattenbau" in German, "panelák" in Czech and Slovak, "blok" in Polish, and "bloc" in Romanian. (Wikipedia)
I feel like this part of the world is rather underrepresented when it comes to LEGO sets and MOCs, so expect more like this from me in the future. It's not about praising that period of history, but instead of being nostalgic about what I grew up with.
I thought this was going to be a quick and simple build, but it turned out to be the most difficulty diorama I have built so far. Turns out it's easier to build something microscale that has lots of details, because then you can pick details that work well at this scale, and leave out the rest. But if there aren't many details to begin with, then they all need to be included no matter what, otherwise it will not look like the thing it tries to be.
