Start of moccing...

Hi all,

Hereby my first post on this blog and also the first display of my projects. I will kick off with a project I'm currently working on, which is a scalemodel of the new office that will be build for the company I work with.

The model is a mini-fig scale (1:40) model. Which will be fully furnished with as much as detail that confirms to reality as possible. To scale the model will be about 100x80x50 centimeters in size, which includes the building and outdoor space featuring the parkinglot among other details.

The model is currently being made with virtual bricks by use of MLCad, which is a CAD program specificly designed for virtual building with Lego. The renders are made using L3P/L3PAO with POV-ray as renderer.

The progress achieved so far has taken an effort of about 12 to 16 hours. And the planning is to have the outside shell finished by the end of this month (November 2008).

The building will consist of 4 storeys which are configured in a stepwise way in the two parts of the building seperated by a glass column in the middle. When finished the model should be able to open by hinges on the first floor in the glass column on both the left and right side, so that it is possible to see the inside of the building. Next to that it will be possible to take of each storey as a seperate module.

In the coming time it will be possible to track the progress of the project and occasionally I will try to show some more specific details on certain design features of both the actual building as well as the Lego scale model.

Hope to see you again,
Dryw Filtiarn
