lightningtiger Posted May 26, 2014 (edited) Okay, so you're what gives.......2015.....already ? Ha, well I must start preparing for Railshow and Bricktopia 2015.....so I don't leave things too late eh ? First cab off the rank to face a redo......True Value Hardware. Now I based this one more on this...... This one is in South Australia, though I kept the top section from the Western Australia store design......I think this one is a greater improvement - looks more genuine South Aussie and more items can be displayed in the windows. The Landmark store is next...only a few buildings are getting the treatment so the layout doesn't go back to being boring again ! Keep watching !
