Tonight we worked on book three, and completed the Lego Town Hall!

There was only one minifig this time…the janitor:

There were two parts to book three. First we worked on the third floor:

It has a lot of nice details, including a conference table, some potted plants, and my favorite part, a Lego globe:

It made a nice addition to the building, but we weren’t done!

We also had to build the roof and bell tower:

Again, there some nice details, including a clock that actually moves. The rolling skylight is also really nice:

The two parts of book three look really nice together:

It a huge set when it’s completed!

Our modular Lego street is really taking shape!

We still have the newish Detective’s Office left to build…hopefully we’ll finish that one sometime before the end of Ryan’s sabbatical!

Tonight Ryan and I built the second floor of the Lego Town Hall. There were not nearly as many parts as floor one had, and the instruction book was much thinner:

Only two minifigs this time: the mayor and his assistant.

The each have a desk and chair…the mayor, as you might expect, has a much fancier office than his assistant:

I continue to be impressed with the (working) elevator:

Other interior details include a cool rug and an overlook down to the first floor:

There are nice details on the outside, including fancy windows, flowers, and a balcony:

It looks very nice attached to the first floor:

And in back, you can see the workings for the elevator continuing on up:

Book three looms large on the horizon…it may have even more instructions than book one did!

It’s been eight months since last we worked on our Lego Modular Main Street, and six months since Ryan and I got the Town Hall for each other for Christmas, so I guess it’s about time for another project! The Town Hall is the largest modular building, and the first floor was a very detailed build.

As always, we began with the minifigs…five to start. They include a bride and groom, their photographer, and a pair of mischievous children who appear to be spying on them:

The details inside the first floor are amazing, from the podium, to the bust done in Lego, to the desk complete with lamp, computer, and even money!

The outside details, especially the crest and the columns, are also fantastic.

The back also has some nice details, including the mechanism to work the elevator:

So far, the building looks great!

I can’t wait to add the second floor, and really try out the elevator!
