The Library From Beauty And The Beast

BrickCon 2019 is over, and I had a blast. Among the many notable events this year were: My wife came with me (her first BrickCon), I walked just about 20 miles over the four days, I was given a Nerdly 10-Doh (thanks Mike!) and I was co-coordinator for the Pop Culture theme (with the great Brandon Griffith). Of course there were a great number of fantastic MOCs in our theme, but this incredible library from Disney’s Beauty and the Beast by builder ssential was a stand out. So much so that me and Brandon awarded it “Best Picture”, and I’m pleased to announce it went on to earn “Best in Show” for BrickCon 2019. Sarah meticulously documented its construction, posting loads of pictures on Flickr, click through to see how this stunning build was accomplished.

Library

When I was a kid if you wanted to learn anything this is where you went, the library. I can vividly remember learning to write my name so I could get a library card to visit the one that was literally around the corner from my house. Of course it wasn't nearly as nice as this one from builder MaximB.

Some Light Reading

This library scene by henrik_zwomp makes me want to go read a book. I hear good things about Lord of the Rings, maybe I should read those again. Anyway, this is a lovely build. I really like the way the walls are angled outward, making the room feel open and spacious. The subtle forced perspective out the window is also superb and gives a great feeling of depth to an otherwise fairly small scene.
