I'm not sure who made this, but it's really cool. Using the bullet train Lego in this way is totally awesome.
JBF2019で展示したマイクロスケールの街です。
パリの衛星写真を参考にヨーロッパをイメージして、16×16ポッチを1区画として構成しました。
路面電車や架線、樹木がいいアクセントになったので、小さなスケールながら街の伊吹を感じてもらえたら嬉しいです。#jbf2019 pic.twitter.com/5bWkZ4tY73

A micro-scale town on display at JBF 2019. Using satellite photos, everything has been recreated on a 16X16 Lego building sheet.

I was wondering what was in the attache case. I opened it up, and this is what I saw. Very convenient for transporting Lego!
These lego figures are getting bigger and more realistic every year! #lego #kobe #JBF2019 #kansai #Japan pic.twitter.com/cXCX2MahKQ
