Micro City Police Station (MCPS)

My first ever LEGO® City Police Station Set 7498 is the inspiration behind my entry.

This model is fully equipped with:

• 2 Jail Cells with fully functional sliding jail doors

• 2 Garages with openable garage doors

• Helipad

• 2 Police Vehicles

• Communication Antenna (over scale for fun!) / Dish

• 2 Robber mini-minifigures

• 4 Police Officer mini-minifigures

• Lamp Post

• Authentic 'POLICE' signage

• Office Tower

  
  

My target a quarter scale model - the finished reimagined design is very close with dimensions (in studs / bricks):

• Original set: 48 (w) x 32 (d) x 33 & 2 plates (h);

• My Micro City Police Station: 26 (w) x 16 (d) x 19 & 1 plate (h);

• Interestingly the lamp post hangs over in each model!

  
  

It was fun finding ways to celebrate the original set as well as keeping it below the 250 maximum piece limit. In fact, it consists of 249 pieces precisely (1 to spare - every piece counts!) Balancing detail & piece counts was the challenge - all pieces available in colour shown.
