LEGO Daily Planet: Jimmy’s Darkroom

Every great photographer needs a great darkroom. Or a good darkroom. Or really just a converted closet next to the stairs with a photo safety light. I had a small space next to the stairs on the second floor of the LEGO Daily Planet model I’m designing and one of the things on my wishlist is a darkroom for Jimmy Olsen. It includes two sinks, and a safety light. When I rebuild the second floor in the real model I’ll need a way to hang photos to dry as well. Below is what the darkroom looks like in place next to the stairs.

I’d love to hear thought and ideas anybody has for the model.

A Shared Desk for Lois & Clark

I wanted to create a shared desk for Lois and Clark in the LEGO Daily Planet I’m designing. In particular, our family is very fond of the Smallville portrayals of the characters by Erica Durance and Tom Welling, and I wanted to recreate the messy, chaotic nature of Lois’ desk including stacks of papers, food, and crumpled papers near the waste bin. I contrasted her desk with the stark neatness of Clark’s.
