osakana Posted March 25, 2008 Layout Hi everybody, So finally I've found some time to update my city layout and take some photos. Gallery (when moderated). My city is in classic 80s/90s SYSTEM scale. Also I tried to incorporate other themes, as exoforce mecha. Here is a quick tour, I should take some better and more detailed pictures in a resoneably near future :-| This is city plan: And here is the real thing: City center - the round yellow office bulding (curretly occupied by ninjas), next to it is cinema (the blue-white bulding) and old castle. Next to castle is post-office corner: Light house, part of harbour and market place: Harbour with cargo train station: From the right - pub, ice cream restaurant and bike shop: Train/monorail station, corner hotel and some houses. You take a better look on market place in upper left corner: Train station, with knight-bus-turn-passenger-train: WIP/industrial part of town. Garage, police station, monorail stop and mecha factory: Mecha factory, mobile minig unit, bionicle-can-silo: You can also spot: hospital with medicopter, Aquariders submarine in docks, fire house, m-tron mobile communication center (to keep in touch with our boys in space) and other things: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Minifig Lecturer Posted March 25, 2008 Cool city you have there Osakana. Where you get the idea of horses being lifted by crane in the port? Looks good, like cattle. I like the way you successfully integrated the monorail - no easy feat I believe! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
osakana Posted March 25, 2008 Where you get the idea of horses being lifted by crane in the port? Looks good, like cattle. Well, it was just an accident. I was thinking about where should I put my polar bear, so I made a cage to transport it to the ZOO (I got no place or baseplates to make a proper ZOO, so it was only represented by this cage). But then I got this idea and replace the bear with the horse. The monorail was a real pain first and I have to change the whole city concept to use it. The original monorail layout is not compatible with roadplates. The other problem was incorporating train tracks into harbour. I got idea to elevate them to the level of harbour platforms.

Tarfful Posted March 25, 2008 Steamhorse! Steamhorse! :-P Seriously though great city! :-) Good job at creating a very 90's atmosphere. General Tarful Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Asuka Posted March 27, 2008 A very nice layout with many charming buildings in an interesting and colorful color scheme. I especially like that neat green and white and red pub and that white and red and yellow corner house with the passage.... and, of course, your monorail. *sweet* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scyzoryk Posted March 28, 2008 If you don't mind me asking, where did you get that base plate that the lighthouse is standing on??? I don't recall seeing it anywhere... *wacko* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zarkan Posted March 28, 2008 A fine town indeed, especially considering that it's basically 100% original. You've even got a mecha bay! :-D Of course, the purple train is my favorite part. Now if only TLC would make one.... 8-| :-P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alex54 Posted March 28, 2008 You've got a nice layout Osakana! I like the way you have used some "lego pieces" like the can or the xpod box trans part! Very ingenious! It seems that you have everything that a layout needs : trains, monorails, a port section, and some houses. I like the fact that you have made some part of your layout on an other level than the road (with the use of the dark rey baseplate) *y* And I have one question about your layout map :where did you have find the coast guard baseplate for track designer?

bradleybrand Posted May 25, 2015 Layout This is city plan: How do you make plan designs of your cities? Do you use particular software? Do you have any road plate images I could possibly use for planning my own city? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
