Struggling to build an inexpensive multi-colored version of LEGO's Tokyo Imperial Hotel from its Architecture Series (Originally $160 - my version is about $40) using my own bricks.
The tough part on this one is finding enough 1x1 pieces - either stud or tile and square and round. Color? Forget it! I never have the color suggested by the instruction manual. I have plenty of everything - just not what I want.
You can see in the photo below a few examples of miniature towers of art sculpture that go on the roof or around the front of the building. I chose to use a lot of translucent red square pieces, mixing in the odd greys and blacks.
Despite making a kit that doesn't follow a color plan, I want to keep the symmetry.
Oh well... it's starting to look more like the actual hotel - but I figure that won't REALLY happen until I place the three roof sections much later on.
Cheers
Andrew Joseph
