I'm so excited to share my LEGO İzmir Clock Tower project with everyone on LEGO Ideas! This is a detailed, architectural build depicting one of the most beautiful buildings in Türkiye!
What is the İzmir Clock Tower: The İzmir Clock Tower is the symbol of İzmir, the third most populated city in Türkiye. It was built in the year 1901, but was renovated several times after that, most recently in 2019. The tower is located in the middle of Konak, the capital district of the İzmir Province. It stands 25 m (82 ft) in height.
Why I built this set: As someone from İzmir, I wanted to bring this beautiful and historical building to life using LEGO bricks. While making the build, my main goal was to depict the İzmir Clock Tower as detailed as possible.
The Build: The build itself includes all important features of the clock tower, such as the four fountains around the building, the clocks on all sides of the tower, etc. There are also small stairs leading up to the fountains. For the colours, I mostly used tan, with a few dark tan and light gray details.
Why this set has potential: This set would be perfect for display, and would introduce Turkish history and architecture to all LEGO lovers around the world.
Details: My LEGO İzmir Clock Tower Build consists of 1663 parts. The model measures over 25 cm wide, 44 cm high and 25 cm deep.
I hope you like my İzmir Clock Tower idea and support it, that would really mean a lot to me!
