Lego Creations: Abandoned Home


Mike Doyle, an artist previously known for boardgame artwork has taken up a new medium...with stunning results. This Abandoned Home is his first model, and it's beautifully detailed. It's the kind of work that many builders would kill to do after several years of building.  Read more about The making of, the project in progress, and the completed two story with basement on Mike Doyle's Snap.

Mike writes: To my eyes, patterns of decay find a more pleasing path than an untouched object. A roof collapsed by the weight of snow, side shingles ripped by the force of winds, substructures rotting, insects and weather gnawing the exposed surfaces. I can picture those windy days where a shingle flies off. Or the sudden creaking, cracking and burst of tinder giving way under snow's heavy hand.
