The five sets that make up the 8th Series of the BrickLink Designer Program were revealed in all their glory earlier this month, let’s take a closer look at the University of Science by Kingcreations!
The Build:
Welcome to the University of Science, home of the Owls and the premier higher education center for your Minifigures! Inspired by various academies, castles, & cathedrals, the model has several sections with different architectural designs that come together to form a distinct yet cohesive style.
The model has two main forms of display. In open form, it is over a meter wide, better capturing the scale of real university campuses and letting it fit on narrow shelving. In closed form, the model is enclosed on all sides, allowing it to be easily placed next to other buildings or in a city layout. The interior references many different areas of science that a real-life university might offer, including (but not limited to) astronomy, anatomy, geology, archeology, botany, and chemistry, while also including more common parts of a university such as a library, classroom, and a grand entrance. Inside of the clock tower, there also seems to be some mysterious experimentation going on.
Includes 18 minifigures with a mix of faculty and staff!
