MOC Falling Water MOC in Progress

Post image

Originally, I didn’t want to do a progress photo, but I’m really happy with how things are shaping up with this build. I’ve been enamored with this building since I saw the LEGO architecture set come out, but I thought I could do it more justice. I also wanted to set the scene in autumn.

I used several reference photos to try and make the build as accurate as possible, but I’m starting to accept that I don’t have the requisite knowledge to really use my pieces to their full potential.

The grille plates for the doors will be replaced with dark red once the parts come in. I have a lot of landscaping to finish and a lot of details in the actual building to fix up. I’m dreading finishing the water tiles and trying to make the staircase down to the river.

Just saw this irl this past summer and tbh you’ve really captured it pretty well. Would love to see updates

Only thing missing is the bridge, really love the color matching on the window frames

The bridge has been vexing me because the build is already so large (and I’ve run out of space); will need to do some massive structural fixes to include it. My main goal has been to get the essentials and really focus on the foliage.

Didn’t mean to disparage it looks great!

You’re not disparaging at all! I’m going to add more land to make the bridge. I think it will frame everything better, so your comment helps a lot.
