A small car model from photographs. A Dutch number plate finds the make, model and registered colour, then the studio gathers reference views. You can also start with your own photos.

What you get

Questions and answers

How do I start a house model?

Enter the address and confirm the building. The studio gathers available street, aerial and listing views automatically, and you can review them before the model is made. Coverage varies by address.

How does the car number plate lookup work?

Type a Dutch number plate. Your browser sends it to the public RDW open-data register (opendata.rdw.nl), which returns the make, model, body type and colour. The studio uses those details to find model-reference photos and interpret the car. We do not store the plate or any personal data for the lookup.

What comes with a model?

A digital model, illustrated instructions and a parts list. A saved model can be ordered as compatible parts through supplier checkout; the instructions download from the studio.

Which format should I choose?

For a house, Compact keeps the main shapes of the street front, Street front gives that side room for detail, and Whole house includes every side and the roof. The proportions of the building set the final size.

Are these official LEGO sets?

No. Brickatelier is independent and not affiliated with the LEGO Group. The models use compatible parts and colours.
