mrklaw Posted April 10, 2012 (edited) Can people post examples of how they dress their streets? I'm looking for inspiration for a beginner for things like traffic lights, and general street furniture. Ideally to go alongside a modular street but unlimately I'm looking for ideas so scale isn't as important as imagination. Thanks :) Edited April 10, 2012 by mrklaw Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cimddwc Posted April 10, 2012 Well, for instance, I got a newspaper vending machine: street scene 4 by cimddwc, on Flickr And a (defaced) election poster, a bench and filled trashcan - and adding some scenes like a police action is good to liven things up: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakar A Posted April 11, 2012 I've desgned custom bits for my city's strees, such as this bus stop: And this streetlamp: This Street/Highway sign: 02 by Dakar A, on Flickr And these custom plant beds with trees (In the top left corner of the photo): 32 by Dakar A, on Flickr Hope I helped!

wooootles Posted April 11, 2012 (edited) Here's my traffic light design; Technic parts and snot bricks were the main ingredients I'll be watching this thread too as I am also looking for inspirations like the OP Edited April 11, 2012 by wooootles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lightningtiger Posted April 11, 2012 Need a phone box..... Or petrol pumps...... I might coming up with even more Lego City-ish street stuff shortly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Blue Brick Posted April 11, 2012 LT, that phone booth is excellent. I need to add some street furniture also. All I have are a couple benches and newsstand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1974 Posted April 11, 2012 OT!: -> Tiger, we don't have red phonebooths here in DK - that's the UK And TDC is dismantling the rest, everybody have cell/mobilephones here now. Buy less Lego and save up for a ticket to Denmark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vindicare Posted April 11, 2012 I use what comes in the sets: light posts in the Modulars. Street and signal lights from City. There's great ideas here for other bits, however. The newsstand, the different sidewalk techniques. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WideWiiLover Posted April 12, 2012 I really like your bus shelter! I also have them in my town, but i have no bus. They serve more as a gazebo. Brick On! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheLegoDr Posted April 12, 2012 I remember in my early Lego days I would build custom phone booths. Now they cease to exist around me in real life, but part of me want my Lego people to live in a simpler time. I only am using the Catwoman's Cycle street light (modified of course) and the newspaper dispenser. Real original, I know. I love seeing these other ideas. Great work everyone!

LAKAbricks Posted April 15, 2012 Sorry, 1974, that's not true. TDC actually wanted the phonebooths to be red, and in some places they actually were, as can be seen from this link http://www.fotojesper.dk/gallery/displayimage.php?pid=765. But they were also dark blue and green, depending on the colour of the street furniture in the town/city. /laka OT!: -> Tiger, we don't have red phonebooths here in DK - that's the UK And TDC is dismantling the rest, everybody have cell/mobilephones here now.

Farnheim Posted April 16, 2012 Here are some pics of a radar trap I've made a while back: And a modified traffic light, which is based on the regular ones from TLC: With a traffic sign add-on: A simple charging station for EVs: A little area for recreation and a different street light: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capn Frank Posted April 16, 2012 Nice designs Farnheim. Can we happen to see more pictures of your town. Agreed. He should create a separate topic for his town. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
