wooootles Posted May 15, 2016 ============================================= Hello, all, This is a new Wasabi District Thread, since my layout concepts have changed quite a bit since I last posted anything about Wasabi District. I decided to post up a new one since I have decided at the last second to actually bring a layout to Brickworld 2016! So, I have already put a couple of pics on Flickr the past few days, but from here on out I will also update this thread. To start: Here are the Cars of Wasabi District, most of which I will be bringing to the show, And the Trucks of Wasabi District, some of which I will also bring. And here are the WIP stuff: The trees. I want to put a more temperate, vibe. The roads. Instead of having parallel parking space in the main road, I have instead substituted a dedicated bike lane in green, and the pedestrian crosswalk in brick/dark red. And my big skyscraper building progress. This will be the hotel's top floor, a sky lounge that includes a bar and an observatory. So there's what I got for now! I am building a few floors concurrently, as well as completing the road system. I will update this thread with Brickworld progress, and then also add more updates on my layout in general. I have about 4 weeks left, so I am rushing! Hope I get it ready in time for Brickworld. Post your comments and suggestions! Thanks for looking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wooootles Posted May 17, 2016 5/16/2016 - I've done some work on the kitchen/dining and bedroom area of my big hotel MOC. Kitchen/dining Bedroom Lobby/restaurant area is WIP, so my MOC can't stand as it is, but I'm trying to haul it! While I wait for pieces, my next update will probably be the roads again.

iammac Posted May 17, 2016 I am totally in love with that road design, and your commitment to black tiles is impressive. Can't wait to see the finished product! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wooootles Posted May 22, 2016 Thanks for the comments guys! Here's another update, the restaurant. Supposed to be some 5-star fancy chop house deal. This is the 2nd floor of my hotel/suites skyscraper. Main lobby is still WIP, and roads are also still WIP. I'm about 2 weeks away from completing this skyscraper. I also update on Instagram (follow 'wooootles'!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
polarstein Posted May 22, 2016 Looks very promising, now I'm very curious how it will all look like from the outside Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wooootles Posted June 2, 2016 (edited) Thanks! Trying to finalize road designs right now while waiting on final interior pieces (skyscraper is almost done!). Here's the main road: 6/01/16 A bit of a SoCal vibe going on, I suppose that's how Wasabi District would feel like. Edited June 2, 2016 by wooootles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wooootles Posted June 24, 2016 Brickworld 2016 was a success! Thanks and a pleasure to meet those who chatted with me! Here's some pics of my layout, Wasabi Avenue, in force. The Avenue Residences (grey, right) is on a 64-wide baseplate and the Barnes and Noble (orange, center) occupies a similar real estate as a LEGO modular set when viewed from the front, to give a glimpse on how big One Azure is next to a LEGO modular.

Dazz Posted June 24, 2016 Thanks for sharing some impressions from your layout at Brickworld. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wookiee Posted June 25, 2016 (edited) Great build. I was watching a walk through and the guy doing the walk through did a double take when he saw your tower . I am impressed that it fits on one Baseplate and it it modular and a great looking building too boot. Edited June 25, 2016 by Wookiee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
