Amy, your pictures are fine. In the scale you are working in though, may 
I suggest a couple of things?

1. You need to be stopping down to absolute maximum. This will give you 
the greatest possible depth of field, which in the dimensions you are 
photographing, are bound to be abysmal, but completely do-able.

2. Light. A beautiful building like this - even in Lego - can be enhanced 
by strategically placing light. Obviously the Lego hanging lights don't 
work but if you can manipulate your images in Photoshop or similar, why 
not add a glow from theose lights? Meanwhile, during the picture-taking 
stage, try and add mood to the scene, without going over the top. For 
instance, if you darken the entire room, the model is in, and open the 
camera on B, what about using a flashlight or anglepoise lamp in 
strategic postions, literally painting with light? Experimentation needed 
here. Alternatively, place your lighting in real time, 'barning' off 
unwanted light with 'flags'. That is, creating shadows to retain mood. 
The glass wall at the back is crying out for some attention. Get some 
large blue crepe paper or construction paper (large blue card to the rest 
of the world) and cover the room wall behind. A single, hard, directional 
light source onto it will recreate a bright day outside. Experiment with 
the positioning to maybe admit some of that light through the 'glass'.

3. Having explored your website, you are one hundred percent certifiable.
